Christmas Negroni

To make the infused gin, strip the zest (2 orange) from the oranges. Add the zest (2 orange), golden caster sugar (100 g), cloves (4), bay leaves (2 fresh), stick (1 cinnamon), and anise (1 star) to a small pan. Gently bring to a boil, then simmer over a low heat for minutes (8) or until it forms a light syrup. Take off the heat and leave to cool.

Once cold, pour the cooled syrup and its infusions into a glass bottle and top up with the gin (500 ml). Shake well to mix and store for at least a week to infuse. Strain before using.

To make the cocktails, divide a [handful ice cubes] between two old-fashioned whisky glasses. Mix the infused gin (70 ml), bitters (50 ml) (vegan bitter aperitif), and vermouth (50 ml) (vegan sweet white vermouth) in a jug. Stir well and divide between the glasses. Garnish each with slices (2 orange).
