Madame Delphine

To a cocktail shaker add:

60ml Citadelle Réserve 2013 Gin

10ml Dry Curaçao 

25ml Raspberry Shrub

Juice of half a lemon 

2 drops of orange blossom water

Crushed ice

Shake and layer with soda water in a tall, ice filled glass. Top with crushed ice and a couple of drops of Creole Bitters.

Raspberry Shrub Recipe

Combine equal parts (1 cup is good) fresh raspberries and sugar and heat to make a syrup. Then add the same volume of vinegar and strain.

OR

Combine fruit and sugar in a clean bowl mashing it up as you stir. Cover with plastic, and store in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Strain out the fruit and pour into a clean jar with equal parts vinegar. Place the jar with a tight fitting lid in the refrigerator where it should last for a few months.
