May Daisy, by Phil Ward is a Cognac based cocktail. This is still relatively unusual in drinks so the recipe got us intrigued and we needed to make it. And it's good!

Another recipe from Kara Newman's [https://www.instagram.com/newman_kara/] book “Shake. Stir. Sip.” This is a Sunflower cocktail, created by Sam Ross. It's one of those four equal parts recipes, that is so easy to make at home. It was super sunny when we shot these drinks. We had to shade off the sun, at the same time as we wanted to make the most of the light - it is a Sunflower after all. Then sipping on the drinks outside, in the evening sun was quite wonderful. The cocktail is really good.
