Tonight's cocktail of choice is the Orange Blossom Special. Oisin Davis, of the Damson Diner, has concocted this beverage with inspiration from Johnny Cash's 1965 album of the same name.
Oisin says, "You can introduce interesting flavours to cocktails if you use just the right balance". The interesting flavour this evening is Orange Blossom Water, a concentrated floral cordial which should be used sparingly in any cocktail.
