Fruit punch

Everyone’s got their own version of the classic fruit punch – and this is one we’d 100% recommend. This is perfect for making in large amounts to bring to a party or a picnic, so whether you’re craving a drink packed with fruity flavours or something to summon up the spirit of summer, no matter what time of year it is, fruit punch is the answer. And best of all, it’s super easy to make.

Add all the fruit juice into a large bowl or pitcher and stir well. Just before serving, add the ginger ale and stir (gently – you don't want it to fizz up too much!). Add the ice or frozen cranberries, and the fruit to garnish.

Ingredients (serves 6):

• 750ml Eager orange juice
• 750ml Eager cranberry juice
• 500ml Eager pineapple juice
• 250ml lemon juice
• 750ml ginger ale
• Ice and/or frozen cranberries
• Lemon, orange, strawberry, cranberry and mint, to garnish

Cinderella mocktail

The Cinderella knows how to hit the spot with its mix of sweet grenadine and orange juice, and deliciously zingy pineapple juice. You can add a bit of warmth from ginger ale if you want, or sparkling water for something more low-key. We’re not sure how this mocktail got its name, but we’re pretty certain you’ll feel like going to a ball after having one.

Pour the juices and grenadine into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass glass with fresh ice. Top with the ginger beer or sparkling water, garnish with the pineapple and orange slices, and enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 30ml Eager orange juice
• 30ml Eager pineapple juice
• 30ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 10ml grenadine
• 60ml ginger ale or sparkling water
• Ice
• Pineapple and orange slices, to garnish

Apple, elderflower and mint sparkle

All the sophistication of a fancy cocktail, none of the booze. Don’t let the minimal list of ingredients fool you – this apple, elderflower and mint sparkle mocktail goes big on flavour, with our classic apple juice the star of the show.

Mix the cordial and the apple juice, add the mint leaves. Stir well and leave to chill. To serve, pour half glasses and top with the sparkling water.

Ingredients:

• 75ml Elderflower cordial
• 1l Eager apple juice
• Handful of mint leaves, chopped
• 750ml sparkling water
