2. Using tape, tape your desired pattern onto the glass, leaving gaps where you want your icing sugar ‘snow’ pattern to go. Place glass in freezer and leave for 10 minutes.
3. Using a sieve, shake the icing sugar over the chilled glass. Carefully remove the tape to reveal the snow pattern.
4. Add measured ingredients to a shaker and shake for 30 seconds before pouring 5. Enjoy! Boë Gin have collaborated with @ScottishMixology to create the new Christmas serve.
