This fresh, floral and delightfully fizzy patio sipper was created by Grant Sceney, creative beverage director at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Its name refers to a line in the Jeffree Star song Beauty Killer: “I got a sweet tooth and strawberry youth.”

• 3 strawberries, divided

• 1 oz Botanist Gin

• 0.75 oz Youth Cordial (see recipe below)

• 0.75 oz lemon juice

• 2.5 oz  Champagne or other sparkling wine

Trim leaves off 2 strawberries, then muddle berries in a cocktail shaker. Add gin, cordial, lemon juice and ice. Shake hard. Pour Champagne into a Collins glass and add ice. Slowly double-strain cocktail over top. Garnish with remaining strawberry. Serves 1.

• 450 g granulated sugar

• 2 cups water

• 5 tsp chamomile tea (loose leaf or bagged)

• 1 tsp citric acid (or juice from one lemon)
