1. Rhubarb gin

Whether you're using forced rhubarb or seasonal produce, our rhubarb gin is 100% irresistible. Use just three ingredients to make a batch of this beautiful booze, then have it ready to go in a gin and tonic garnished with a slice of fresh ginger. Use caster sugar rather than golden – the latter will spoil the colour as the juice is drawn out of the rhubarb.

Try it topped up with soda water for a sensational thirst-quencher.
