The question everyone’s asking at social gatherings these days is not so much “Who are you wearing?” but “What are you drinking?” There’s Sophie nursing a highball of Seedlip’s Garden 108 (a distillation of peas, hay, spearmint, rosemary, thyme and hops), with apple and plum cordial and a hip soda. Garnished with a pea pod.
Tony’s drink, Lyre’s Italian Spritz, has notes of orange peel and the same mixture of tart and sweet flavours you’d expect from a true-blue Aperol spritz at a boozy lunch under a Tuscan sun.
Cynthia is drinking a Brunswick Aces sapiir with notes of green cardamom, parsley and pepperberry, balanced by sweet citrus and native Australian lemon myrtle, mixed with a Fever-Tree pink tonic.
