Cocktails have a magical way of elevating any occasion, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. Oftentimes, for me, drinking a cocktail is less about the alcohol and more about experimenting with unique flavour combinations and summer produce provides all the inspiration. I love nothing more than to make delicious cocktail at the weekends, I take out my favourite cocktail glasses, sit in the back garden and savour each sip. If you would like to see how I make my Gin Smash you can watch back here. 

My top tip is to always a bottle of homemade sugar syrup on hand in the fridge, which is just equal quantities sugar to water slightly boiled until syrup like and can be stored in the fridge for weeks.  Read on to try some of my favourites each one offering a unique blend of flavours or let them inspire your own creations.
