Garden Gin Fizz

On our recent UK FP Me shoot we were lucky enough to spend the day in the most beautiful Suffolk countryside cottage. When driving to the village we realized there wasn’t even a road name…because it was literally at the end of a tiny little grass track hidden by trees and flowers. To toast the end of a successful shoot we sat down to a well-earned cocktail (we had been up since 5am!). So, to jazz it up a bit, we foraged around the gorgeous gardens for tasty fruit and herbs to add in. There was a huge blackberry bush, lemon tree and more herbs than you could ever hope for.  Here is what we ended up drinking, and boy did it go down well on a beautiful Summer’s afternoon. Cheers!

To make it non-alcoholic, would you just take out the gin altogether as well? Looks delicious!
