Scotch bonnet cordial

20g cotch bonnet chillies
200g sugar
200ml lemon juice

Cocktail

50ml vodka
Peach soda, to serve
Lemon slice, to serve (optional)
1 chilli, to serve (optional)

First make the Scotch bonnet cordial: quarter the Scotch bonnet chillies (leave the seeds in for more of a kick) and add to a pan with the sugar, 200ml water and the lemon juice. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved, then strain through a sieve into a sterilised, sealable container and leave to cool before chilling – the cordial will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
To make the cocktail, pour the vodka and 20ml of the pre-prepared cordial into a highball glass filled with ice, then top up with peach soda (try London Essence). Garnish with a lemon slice and a chilli if liked.
