In the Permit Room at Dishoom King’s Cross, drinks-walla Carl Brown has created a range of bottle- and barrel-aged cocktails. We recommend the Sir Jeejeebhoy, a bottle-aged old fashioned with Ceylon arrack lengthened with coconut water and orange bitters. If you can’t make it to Dishoom, try this recipe for an Indian twist on a classic gimlet. dishoom.com

Ingredients

dill a small pinch and a sprig to serve
lime wedge 1
London dry gin 50ml
Rose’s lime cordial 50ml
celery bitters 2 dashes

Method

Step 1

Before you make the cocktail, put some ice in a coupe glass and add a dash of soda to help it cool quickly.
Step 2

Put a pinch of dill, a squeezed lime wedge, the gin and the lime cordial into a shaker.
Step 3

Add ice to the shaker, cap it and shake hard. You want to chill the drink as quickly as possible and water it down to the absolute minimum.
Step 4

Empty the ice and any liquid from your glass and fine-strain the drink into it. Garnish the drink with a small, fresh sprig of dill.
