With the weather improving, I thought it would be nice to include a summer cocktail in my latest seasonal menu. For ease and to save time on the day, you may want to make the rhubarb syrup in advance – any leftovers can be stored in a bottle in the fridge for another occasion. 

I always have one or two infusions to hand, usually made from something I’ve grown – be it a fruit, edible weeds, herbs or flowers such as elderflower – to preserve things and have them ready for a spontaneous cocktail.

I try to base my menu on what abundance of produce I have ready in my garden, and what is locally available. It should work as a simple template for both preparing your dishes and getting the timing perfect. These recipes are a great guide for other colourful seasonal dishes to have up your sleeve throughout the year, to really make entertaining easy.
