Method
Once you’ve made your Citrus Shrub (see below) fill your glass with ice and pour in your measure ingredients. If you need to add more ice do this now, you want the ice to reach the top of your glass to keep dilution minimal! Top up with soda water leaving a gap from the top and gently stir with a bar spoon to combine the ingredients but not to disturb the bubbles too much. To make your orange & cinnamon garnish, put your orange slice on a plate and sprinkle the cinnamon over one end. You can then place it on top of your glass!

Home-made Ingredients
Citrus Shrub:
This is one of our favourite syrups to make it’s so easy and tastes delightful. And it’s as perfect for your cocktails as it is on your pancakes!
Carefully remove the peel, pith and seeds from 1 lemon and 1 orange until you are left with only the flesh.
Place into a blender with 100ml honey and 100ml apple cider vinegar and blitz until smooth.
Pour into a jar and and keep in the fridge (it will last a week.)
For the Citrus Cider Fizz we’ve also added 1 tsp of turmeric and some cracked back pepper to taste at stage 2!
