To make the sugar syrup, add 200g of caster sugar and 100ml of water into a saucepan and simmer over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Cool completely and you can store in the fridge for up to a month.

Into a cocktail shaker add the gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and lemon curd. Shake to combine, then add a handful of ice and shake again.
