Then, put the rosemary, coriander seeds and gin into a cocktail shaker or measuring jug. Use a wooden spoon to lightly bash the aromatics. Divide the ice between two large round bottomed glasses.

Top up with tonic water, stir briefly and add in your charred lemon quarters.Serve  immediately with a small pinch of whole peppercorns.
