Victuallers Rhubarb & Bergamot Gin
For a fresh drink with a summer vibe, we love this special edition twist on a G&T from Salcombe Distilling Co. Combining botanicals such as rhubarb, bergamot and kumquat with the more traditional likes of juniper, angelica, cassia bark and lemongrass, the perfectly balanced blend of sweet and sharp flavours makes for a deliciously refreshing and oh-so moreish summer drink with a natural pink hue. Served with ice, premium tonic water, a slice of orange and fresh ginger, it’s the perfect choice for a sun-drenched drinks reception.

Pocketful of Stones’ Pen Sans Summer Cup
Dubbed ‘liquid sunshine’, Pen Sans Summer Cup is the British summertime in a glass, the strawberry-heavy blend of early summer giving way to flavours of gooseberry, raspberry, blueberry and blackberry towards the season’s end. Serve with lemonade or ginger ale and a garnish of mint, berries, cucumber and citrus for a Cornish take on a summer cup or add a dash of prosecco and soda and finish with an orange wedge for a glorious spritz.
