Younes Bahir, the head bartender at the luxurious Hotel Pashmina in Val Thorens, Europe’s highest ski resort in the Trois Vallée, France, may only be here for a season but his cocktail creations will live on.

His cocktail of the week is the lemony Le Petit Marseillais. The recipe is as follows:

• 40ml Tanqueray No 10
• 40ml Lemon Juice
• 40ml Verbena syrup

Infuse Verbena Leaves with boiling water and then add equal measure of sugar to make the syrup. Put all the ingredients in a shaker and shake with ice. Double strain into a champagne coupe. Garnish with a twist of lemon and a few verbena leaves

Always remember the wise words of Oscar Wilde, “All things in moderation, including moderation,” and always drink responsibly!
