Oakham Nub News has joined forces with a regular reader to share a 'Cocktail of the Week' feature, including classics, reinventions of familiar favourites and some crazy concoctions unique to Nub News.

This week, Josh is bringing you a creation bluer than the spring sky!

The Spring Sour is a combination of a classic sour and that vibrant fruity cocktail that reminds us of the fast-approaching sunny months.

Ingredients: 

• 25ml blue curacao
• 25ml lemon juice
• 25ml sugar syrup (you can make this by boiling water and sugar)
• 25ml gin

Method:

1. add all of your ingredients to a shaker with ice
2. shake until chilled - or until the ice is melted, if you like your cocktail a little weaker
3. strain into a martini glass

Enjoy - and don't forget to think of summer!
