Lime sorbet gin and tonics
Serves 8
Ready in 30 minutes, plus overnight chilling
For the lime sorbet:
First make the lime sorbet. Bring 250ml water to the boil in a small pan. Add the sweetener and stir until the granules have dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to go cold.
Meanwhile, finely grate the zest from 3 limes then squeeze the juice from all 6. Stir the zest and juice into the syrup, cover and chill until it’s really cold. If you’re being super-organised, overnight would be ideal!
The next day, strain the syrup and discard the lime zest. Pour the mixture into a shallow plastic container, cover and freeze until firm but not rock hard. Scoop into a food processor and blend until smooth. Return to the container and freeze once more. Repeat the process 2-3 times more then leave in the freezer overnight until hard. (If you have an ice-cream maker, lucky you – you can use it instead.)
To assemble your cocktails, fill 8 tall glasses with a few ice cubes. Put the gin, lime juice and lime sorbet into a liquidiser and blend until slushy. Divide the mixture between glasses and top up with tonic water. Thread the cucumber shavings and lime wedges on to skewers and use to decorate each glass before serving.
Clementine, Campari and pomegranate fizz
Serves 4
Ready in 5 minutes, plus overnight chilling
Mix the clementine
