If you don’t have time to bake over Easter or you simply can’t be bothered, why not infuse your co*cktail with the flavours of (objectively) one of the best cakes out there?
With this very special recipe, we’ve combined gin with lemon curd and freshly squeezed lemon juice for that zesty hit, and added a drop of pineapple juice for a balance of sumptuous sweetness.

This twist on a classic sunshine serve has all its famed flavour with a herbaceous hit from gin and rhubarb’s typical tartness. We can’t get enough of it and we know you won’t either!
