If you adore anything lemony, like I do, and have a spare corner in your garden, you should grow a lemon verbena bush. This herb, with its distinctive citrus flavour and heady scent, is extraordinary – just a few leaves add fragrance to drinks, dishes, pot-pourri and even flower bouquets. Recent French guests of ours from the Rhône-Alpes region commonly drink this beverage, which they call ‘verveine’, and swear by it as a winter cold-preventative – with the addition of honey and schnapps, they say, it “cooks them out of illness”. Traditionally, it takes 40 leaves and 40 days to make their version of the brew, but in summer I’ve found this quick infusion suits me fine and is deliciously refreshing poured over ice. Add edible flowers and a few berries if you want to pretty things up a little.

Shrubs, or fruit-and-vinegar syrups, are a great way to add acidity and complexity to cocktails. This refreshing libation features tart pickled watermelon shrub, sweet melon liqueur and fizzy club soda. Recipe courtesy of McCormick's.

I can still remember my mum making me and my sisters iced coffees when we were studying for our end-of-year school exams. I’m sure it was the caffeine and sugary ice cream that got us through!

It’s tempting to just throw a bunch of fruit and veges in a blender and hope for the best, but that’s not what makes a good smoothie great. By using a recipe, you can ensure the correct balance of acidity and sweetness. Also, the consistency will be just right – not too thin, but not a thick sludge either. Most importantly, a great smoothie will be healthy – not simply a whole heap of sugar disguised as fruit. This green goddess smoothie is one of my trusty standbys. I regularly knock one back for breakfast or for a mid-afternoon snack. The pear provides the sweetness, the lime the acidity and the avocado makes for a smooth and creamy texture, plus it’s packed full of goodness. Enjoy!

If you’re a fan of mojito cocktails (who isn’t?), then you’re sure to enjoy this alcohol-free version. You may find you don’t miss the rum after all!
