I realise that this post will probably be quite divisive as you either love it or you don’t right? But did you know that licorice is thought to help with coughs and colds? So perhaps even if you aren’t an adamant licorice lover, this recipe might be worth a try! The…

Boozy popsicles you say?! Yes indeedy! I have managed to squeeze a favourite summer tipple into ice block form just for you. These refreshing popsicles are perfect for barbecues, brunch parties or weddings!

Gin is a fantastic tipple on it’s own, but when you add these complimentary botanicals, it’s lifted to another level. I like to have it with tonic water, grapefruit slices and ice so you can really taste the flavours but it would also be great with lemonade. Pink grapefruit, cucumber and lemon…

So infused rum sounds fancy doesn’t it? It’s sure to wow the pants off your party guests when you tell them you flavoured your own tipple! Plus this tropical-infused booze is really easy to make, you just need to start a week ahead of time. And of course you can then…

This savoury infused vodka is perfect for those day-after brunches when everyone is nursing a sore head. Or pop little bottles of it in a hangover kit for your bridesmaids. Serve it straight-up over ice and you have yourselves a low-cal bloody-tini. But it’s also yummy with a splash of…

Just add 1-2 tablespoons of puree to each glass of bubbles for a frothy, fruity cocktail.…

These mojito-inspired ice cubes make the perfect refreshing long drink. Packed with lime and mint flavours, they are delicious in a tall glass, topped up with fizzy water. And of course you can always add a slug of rum if you fancy……. You can make a big batch well ahead of time and…

I’m obviously in a syrup frame of mind at the moment! They are just so handy to have in the fridge to add extra oomph to drinks and desserts. Again, I made this one with milkshakes in mind, but you can also try it in cocktails or poured over cakes.…

This fruity cordial is packed full of flavour and is great as a refreshing drink with ice and soda or if you are feeling more adventurous splash it into your gin and tonic or a glass of bubbly. In this scene: Straws, twine and jar from emerald + ella. Rhubarb, ginger…
