Mango margarita
For a tropical take on a classic summer cocktail, use mangoes that are very ripe for this recipe – the riper they are, the more rounded the flavour
Pour the lemon juice, elderflower cordial, gin and elderflower liqueur (if using) into a cocktail shaker. Add a large handful of ice and shake until the outside of the shaker feels icy cold.
Strain the cocktail into two champagne flutes or coupes, then top up slowly with sparkling wine. Garnish each one with a small sprig of lemon thyme or a mint leaf.
