Darlings, ‘splish splash’ – please dash off to your hand basin and lather up those mitts of yours – Much obliged!
First off, it’s time to prepare Mrs Beeton’s Quick Fire Fizz Lemonade – it’s ‘easy peasy lemon squeezy’ and takes no time at all! Or on this occasion, one may use ready-made lemonade.
Now, simply fill your cocktail shaker to the top with ice – Ta very much!
With a steady hand, measure out the Blackberry & Elderflower Pimm’s and Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur.
Gently pour both alcoholic tipples over the ice, then add the lemonade.
Darlings, in readiness for your frightfully fruity Pimm’s Cocktail - fill your highball glass near to the top with ice –– How exciting!
Now, give your cocktail a good ol’ shake! So, pop the lid onto your cocktail shaker, and make sure one hand is firmly pushing down on the lid, then shake ‘like the clappers’ – for about 30 seconds or so.
Pour immediately, but slowly into your highball glass – there’s a good, darling!
Then before serving: to the spikey end of a cocktail umbrella, add a few berries of your choice. Oh, and why not plop one or two into your cocktail mixture while you’re at it!
Alternatively, decorate with a zingy slice of lemon – Voila!
Darlings – I’m sure this intensely vibrant, sweet n’ sharp fruity tonic will lift your spirits, whilst soothing away your post-tennis blues!
