Summer Coolers W
ith the warm weeks of summer stretching ahead (endlessly optimistic over here!), we
love having a fridge full of cold drinks that are something more than a can of coke or a bottle of squash. We’ve put together some ideas for summer coolers you can whizz up in no time from store cupboard and fridge ingredients; they all take a couple of minutes to make and the rest of the time is spent chilling – that’s the drinks, not you... they all serve 2.
Strawberry & Cherry Smoothie You can make a smoothie from any fruit but strawberries and cherries are quintessentially summer to me, full of warmth and flavour. smoothies are more usually made with yoghurt and/or milk but when it’s really hot, I think it’s more refreshing without. As the season progresses, make it with peaches, nectarines, raspberries, melon. • 100g ripe strawberries • 100g fresh ripe cherries, pitted • Squeeze of lime juice • 150ml apple juice
Whizz everything up together with a liquidiser or hand blender.
Pour over ice and serve at once or chill in the fridge and serve later.
ElderFlower and Mint Cooler
• 2tbsp elderflower cordial • 4 sprigs fresh mint • 300ml apple juice
Whizz everything together in a liquidiser or with a hand blender.
Chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
Strain through a fine sieve before serving to get rid of the tiny bits of mint leaves.
For an alcoholic twist, add a glass of prosecco at the end to keep the bubbles.
Iced Coffee
Iced coffee is normally served with milk but we were served this no-milk version once in bali and it really hit the spot. • 3 heaped tbsp ground coffee • 1-2tbsp sugar, depending on taste • Plenty of crushed ice
Make the coffee by pouring 600ml boiling water on to the ground coffee in a cafetiere or jug. Stir in the sugar to dissolve.
When cold, put the jug or cafetiere in the fridge to chill completely – overnight if you can.
Fill 2 large glasses with plenty of crushed ice and strain over the coffee to get rid of the grounds.
