This is English summer in liquid form. Spicy, mellow, light and refreshing, this is a reminder that in matters of food and drink, originality and innovation are so not the point.
200ml Pimms
600ml lemonade
half a cucumber, sliced
half an orange, sliced
half a lemon, sliced
1 small apple, cored and sliced
small bunch fresh mint
a few borage flowers, should you have them growing in your garden
handful fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
Mix everything together in a big jug and throw in a handful of ice. Or better make that two jugs: this is not something that anyone ever has just one glass of.
Serves 6.
