HOXTON STONE SOUR: Patsy and Edina

Anticipate an Absolutely Fabulous Christmas as everyone’s fave fashion freaks return to BBC1. Has PR has-been Eddy persuaded her dipso editor chum (fifteen years too late) that Hoxton, not Knightsbridge, is where it’s at? ‘Look, sweetie! They even named a cocktail after you.’ Patsy Stone, sour? Who'd have the vinegary vintage Vuitton baggage any other way?
Make it...  
Shake 50 ml Hoxton Gin, 20 ml each of lemon and orange juice and 15 ml honey syrup (2:1 honey to water). Strain over cubed ice in a rocks glass. Garnish: 3 red grapes, lemon wedge, mint sprig.
Drink it… at The Hoxton Pony, London EC2; Jekyll & Hyde, Birmingham; One Lounge, West Didsbury, Manchester.
