Best summertime drink?

In winter it's red wine, but I always know when Summer is on the way because I shift to a predinner G&T. Something refreshing about the lime...perfect way to start the evening.

My favourite summer thirst quencher is a homemade ginger punch with soda water, ginger, lemon juice, raw sugar, strawberries and mint; it's amazingly refreshing and tasty, but it is also a healthier option as it doesn't contain artificial flavours, colours, preservatives, or a tonne of sugar.

I'm going to make that! YUM!

I don't make it often enough, but when I do it's a big hit. I am talking about summer fruit punch, which is made with juice, lemonade and cut up fresh fruit. Serve it over ice and it's a delicious treat on hot summer days.

Pimms is a very English drink for the summer and if you haven't tried it, I definitely recommend giving it a go.

Smoothies made from fresh fruit are great for summer -add a bit of frozen yoghurt and ice-cream in it with honey.
