e’ve all been there – the end of summer is nearing and your calendar features more barbecues than it does weekdays beginning with S as us Brits clamber to get the last of the rays before they disappear for another six months. Caught up in the traditions, the Pimms is flowing and beers are chilling, and it’s fruit juice only for the designated drivers and non-drinkers. But skipping out on the alcohol doesn’t have to mean making do with warm lemonade hastily dug out from the back of a cupboard.

Instead, nip over to Laura Ashley to check out the mocktail recipe I put together for their blog – it’s a punchy little number.

P.S. It works beautifully with a shot of gin in a serving, too. Well, you didn’t think I could keep it totally booze-free, did you?
