Nojito

Ingredients - 1 tablespoon of sugar, small bunch of mint, the juice of 3 limes and soda water.

Methods - Muddle the sugar with leaves from the mint using a pestle and mortar (or use a small bowl and the end of a rolling pin). Then, put a handful of crushed ice into 2 tall glasses. Divide the lime juice between the glasses with the mint mix. Add a straw and top up with soda water.

Blood Orange Soda

Ingredients - Club soda, lime, small bunch of mint and blood orange syrup (strained blood orange juice blended with sugar).

Methods - Rub the inside of the glass with whatever herb you have on hand such as mint. Combine ingredients and stir. Finish with a hearty squeeze of fresh lime.

Shirley Temple

Ingredients - 40ml of ginger ale, 40ml pomegranate juice, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, 1 lemon wedge.

Methods - Extract the juice from a pomegranate (remove seeds from a whole pomegranate and place in a sieve. Press down with the back of a spoon to extract the juice). Measure 40ml of the freshly sieved pomegranate juice into a tall glass. Add 1.5tsp sugar to the glass. Stir until the mixture is well combined. Add ice cubes to the glass and top up with Ginger Ale. Using a sharp knife, cut a wedge of fresh lemon on a chopping board. Squeeze and place into the glass.
