Spring Mocktails
There's nothing quite like a refreshing drink, sitting out in the back garden with the sun on your face. Ok, so it still might be a little chilly, but we have been getting those glorious days where you want to soak in every last ounce of sunshine. Because let's face it, those days are rare here in England. Spring is one of my favourite seasons, I love watching all of my plants bloom to life, lighter evenings and feeling that little bit more inclined to get up out of bed.
One of these mocktails is developed from a rum cocktail my husband had at a food festival, you can totally add rum if you fancy making it alcoholic but I'm not a big drinker at all. If you can get some glass bottles to store them in, they'd be great to pop in a picnic basket. I know, imagine that, a picnic!
