Summer cocktail inspiration

There's nothing quite like a thirst-quenching cocktail or summertime drink enjoyed at the end of a hot summer's day. We've pulled together some of our favourite cocktails and smoothies for a refreshing selection this summer.

Pimm's

A classic choice for a summer's day.

Simply add 1 part Pimms with 3 parts lemonade to a large jug, add some fruit (we particularly like chopped strawberries, raspberries, satsuma/orange, cucumber and mint leaves. The cucumber adds a refreshing touch).

Iced Tea

Gin, vodka, tequila, white rum, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and syrup, topped with champagne and garnished with a slice of lemon. Summer perfection!
