Watermelon slushy
Summer in a sip! In a blender mix half the flesh of watermelon until pureed. Tip into ice cube trays and freeze for at least four hours. Pop four martini glasses into the freezer. Once watermelon cubes have frozen, pop into a blender along with 60ml sugar syrup, 30ml lemon juice, 235ml vodka and 60ml Midori. Mix until smooth. Pour into the four glasses and garnish with a twist of lemon zest.
Lemony delight
This super easy, yet super tasty drink is the perfect addition to a gorgeous summer’s day. In a mixing glass combine 115ml fresh lemon juice, 60ml vodka and 4g white sugar. Stir until dissolved, then pour into glasses filled with ice. Absolutely amazing and it'll impress all of your friends.
Apple martini This delish drink is bound to become a classic summer fav! Simply fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add 30ml apple schnapps, 30ml vodka and 30ml apple juice. Mix well, then pour into glasses and garnish with a slice of apple. Voila!
Frozen lime daiquiri
This refreshing drink is impressive, but ridiculously easy to make. Perfect for summer BBQs and gatherings. In a blender mix 1 cup lemon concentrate, 350ml rum and 1 tray of ice cubes. Blend until smooth, and add extra ice cubes if required. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Sweet and juicy
After something different? Try this blend of sweet and sour! This recipe makes a lot, so if you only want to make a small amount we recommend you cut it down. Blend 1 litre of pineapple juice, 1 litre of grapefruit juice, 224g honey and 475ml gin in a blender until frothy. Pour into a jug and serve.
