Three simple summer cocktail recipes

A sweet take on the G&T, with complementary flavours making it taste like Pimms’ hippy cousin.

You'll need:

• 35ml The Botanist

• Premium Tonic

• Slice of peach and fresh chamomile to garnish

Method:

1. Top up 35ml of The Botanist Gin with premium tonic.

2. Garnish with a slice of peach and chamomile.

The sharpness of a straight Martini softened with fresh wild scents.

You'll need:

• 50ml The Botanist

• 10ml dry vermouth

• 5ml / tsp of elderflower liqueur

• Sprig of mint

Method:

1. Stir ingredients with plenty of ice in a mixing jug.

2. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with fresh mint.

No need for the non-drinkers to miss out, just soak some foraged ingredients in sugar syrup for a mocktail.

You'll need:

• Whatever you can find in-season - blackberries, mint, wild raspberries, rose petals or even daisies.

• Sugar syrup - sugar and water in a 2:1 ratio (eg 100g sugar, 50g water).

• Soda!

Method:

1. Fill a Kilner jar with your foraged ingredients and pour over the sugar syrup, leave for a while to infuse.

2. Pour syrup into a tall glass add soda and stir, maybe garnish with some spare foraged fruits or a contrasting flavour. (The syrup makes a great addition to a G&T too!)
