Venture into the night with gourmetglow's unforgettable Halloween sip, packed with seasonal flavours and her homemade Quatre Epices Syrup.

Method

*For the syrup, add ½ cup sugar, ½ cup cold water, 3 cinnamon sticks, ¼ Nutmeg, 8 white peppercorns and 2 cm ginger (chopped) to a small pan and heat over a low heat to dissolve the sugar. Increase the heat and bubble for 3 minutes. Remove and allow to cool naturally to room temperature. Strain, discard the spices and store in the fridge. *For the Caramelised Clementine Juice, lay the clementine halves on a baking tray and grill until charred (or use a blow torch) Once cool, squeeze the juice and store in the fridge. To build the drink, add the gin, measured syrup, juice and bitters to a mixing glass with a few ice cubes and stir clockwise for 30 seconds. Strain into a glass filled with ice, top with the tonic and finish with a dust of fresh nutmeg.
