ENDLESS SUMMER

The hottest month of the year might be behind us, but there’s still plenty of time to enjoy a deliciously refreshing cocktail as we unwind and relax at the end of a busy day. This recipe by Grace Stevens is sure to become a favourite.

 Berry Fruity Rum Cocktail

Ingredients:

• 45ml rum
• 250ml berry juice
• 15ml Chambord (or any raspberry liqueur)
• 100ml sparkling lemonade
• 120g frozen strawberries
• handful of ice-cubes
• 90g fresh raspberries
• a few sprigs of thyme

To make:

In a chilled jug mix together rum, berry juice, Chambord and sparkling lemonade and set aside.

In a blender, place the ice and frozen strawberries and blend for a few short bursts. Don’t allow the fruit to get too small.

Half fill two glasses with the frozen strawberries. Fill the glass with the cocktail, top off with raspberries and a sprig of thyme. Serve immediately.
