Once the children are in bed, there’s nothing like a proper cocktail to draw a line under the strains of the day and say hello to the grownups’ time ahead.

Serves 1

35ml good-quality vodka – we use Ketel One

20ml sake

20ml lemon juice

10ml gomme syrup

1 egg white

3 raspberries

1 raspberry, fresh or dried, to garnish

Put all the liquids in a shaker, and dry-shake so the egg white emulsifies. Add a big handful of ice and the raspberries, muddle the fruit, then shake again and double-strain into a coupette. Garnish with a fresh or dried raspberry, and serve.
