ozen Gin &amp; Tonic with Raspberries &amp; Mint is a fun and refreshing twist on the classic G&amp;T. It is fresh, fruity, bright, easy to make and incredibly thirst quenching.

Frozen Gin &amp; Tonic with Raspberries &amp; Mint

raspberries (chilled)

tsp Tonic syrup (chilled)

tsp Sugar cane syrup (chilled)

tsp Lime juice (chilled)

Mint leaves

300 g/ 10 1/2 oz Ice cubes

Raspberries

Lime

Put the ice into your blender and add all remaining ingredients. (Do ensure your blender is powerful enough to work with ice - not all blenders are (see my notes)). Securely put the blender lid in place

Start your blender slowly, allowing it to begin the break down the ice. Pulse as necessary. Once the ice is beginning to break down increase the speed and continue to blender until the contents of the blender are slushy and no obvious lumps of ice or fruit remain

Pour into 2 glasses and use the additional mint, raspberries and lime wedges to garnish. Serve immediately

For a twist on gin & tonic, try these alcoholic ice lollies as a boozy grown-up treat for hot summer days. They'll keep in the freezer for up to two months

Gin & tonic ice lollies

cucumber

mint leaves

tonic

caster sugar

Take a six-hole lolly mould and push a cucumber slice and a mint leaf into each one. In a jug, stir the gin, tonic and sugar until the sugar dissolves and the tonic loses its fizz. Divide between the moulds, push in the lolly sticks and freeze for at least 4 hrs, or preferably overnight.
