During the dark days of prohibition, good drinks weren't always easy to come by. To mask the taste of illicitly made spirits, people often mixed their liquors with juice, fortified vines or whatever they could get their hands on. In the case of the Orange Blossom, gin was mixed with orange juice and sweet vermouth, and the cocktail became a hit during the 1920s and '30s.

Preparing at Home? Here are some Do's & Don'ts
- Use Rutland Square Gin if you are looking to add some more flavours to your cocktail
- Muddle the fruits gently, to release flavours and not to crush the fruit into a pulp. Use a sturdy glass for precision.
- You might already know this one. Don't use warm soda water!
- Pour the soda water last, very gently, as it will help maintain the fizz.
