An interesting take on the classic sour cocktail.

Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Dash of cherry bitters (substitute Angostura bitters)
Crushed ice, plus extra to serve
Roasted wattleseed (optional) and thinly sliced candied ginger, to serve

Sugar syrup

1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar

Method

1.

For the sugar syrup, combine sugar and 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Transfer to a heatproof container and chill until completely cooled (syrup can be stored, covered and chilled, for up to 2 months).
