Strawberry margaritas
These thirst-quenching margaritas are perfect for any time of the year and you can personalise them even further by making your own simple syrup.
Tom Collins
Use a shaker when you have more mixer than spirit. Thicker ingredients such as syrups and cream liqueurs can also mix inconsistently – so they should be shaken. Shaking with ice is a good way to cool down a drink and dilute it for perfect balance. Our favourite shaken cocktail? Why, the Tom Collins!
Tropical coconut water punch
Tropical coconut water punch
Since its arrival on the foodie scene, coconut water has been hailed as nature’s own miracle drink. Its wild popularity has led many to question its supposed nutritional value, dismissing the flavoursome water as just another passing health trend. But don’t be fooled. Coconut water is wonderfully hydrating too. The clear liquid found inside young, green coconuts (not to be confused with coconut milk) contains five essential electrolytes: calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sodium and potassium. You’ve probably heard the claims that this sweet water has anti-ageing, anti-carcinogenic and anti-thrombotic effects, but this hasn’t been proven yet.
Turkish delight and buttermilk ice cream
