Q What makes a successful summer soirée?

A Foresight, planning and punch. A pre-made batch of punch means guests can help them-selves, and you can relax and have a good time without constantly making drinks all night.

Q Your go-to summer punch?A The perfect mix of freshly

picked herbs, clear spirits, lime and a bit of bubbly to liven things up.

Q Favourite summer cocktail?A Something crisp, clean

and refreshing that’s still complex and interesting. I like a dry spirit with quality, like vodka, paired with citrus to excite the palette.

Q How important is creating a great drink?

A It’s the utmost importance. The difference between having a drink at a party compared to a drink at home is the experience. A great drink is an experience that’ll be remembered.

Q What makes a memorable drink?

A When it has something called moreish—that quality when before you’ve finished a drink you want more of it, and that’s what summer is all about.

Simply ladle the punch into a glass filled with ice (using some of the fresh ingredients for garnish) and top with the sparkling wine to order. Keep in mind, if the punch is too acidic, add more sugar. If too sweet, add more citrus juice. It’s a hit punch so there is no wrong way.
