Unusual snap recipe

"Going back to the origins of bartending, cocktails were a family of 'fancy drinks' says Esther Medina at Roast. Mother's ruin gets a healthy makeover in this sweet and sour gin and parsnip puree fancy drink.

Gin is mixed with parsnip puree, Chegworth Valley Farm Cox and Bramley apple juice, garnished with curly parsley and poppy seeds.

• 10ml simple syrup
• 10ml lemon juice
• 25ml apple juice
• 2 spoons of parsnip puree
• 50 ml gin
• Poppy seeds

How to make the unusual snap fancy drink

1. Shake together the syrup, juices and parsnip puree with the gin (Esther uses Hendrick's). Strain, drop poppy seeds, add cubed ice.

2. Garnish with a thin disc of apple wheel threaded with a sprig of curly parsley in the middle.
