DRINKS

What Mother’s Day treat would be complete without a tipple or two for her to enjoy with her feet up while you crack on with the dishes? This refreshing rhubarb bellini is elegant yet easy, or bring a taste of summer to the afternoon with a couple of gin and elderflower sherbet cocktails. Pour yourself one too, sit back and enjoy a job well done!
