Summer garden party

We blended cranberry, pineapple, orange and lime juice together with ginger ale, added real fresh fruit and prepared an exotic fruit punch. Others enjoyed a white Belgian-style wheat beer brewed with orange peel and coriander. On the palate, we nibbled crispy chocolate-dipped almond florentines while sipping our amaretto sour cocktails, made using amaretto liqueur, whisky, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white. Following the addition of water the scent became even more summery, with flowering cherry blossom trees, teak oil on new garden furniture and that ultimate treat, strawberries and cream. To taste, enjoy shortbread fingers, lemon poppy seed cake and a cup of lady grey tea.
