Gin & Elderflower Summer Jelly: Gemma Simmonite, Gastrono-me
Put the gelatine leaves in a bowl and cover with cold water and leave for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the water and sugar in a small saucepan, on a low heat stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.
Bring to the boil and let it bubble for 6 minutes until it has turned syrupy, set aside to cool ever so slightly.
Squeeze the excess water from the gelatine leaves and add them to your syrup mixture, stir until dissolved.
Add the gin, elderflower tonic and lemon juice and strain into a clean jug.
Divide between two glasses and chill for a minimum of four hours.

Rhubarb French 75: Jim & Tonic
Get your glass. We recommend an elegant long glass like a 'flute' or champagne glass which will help to preserve your prosecco bubbles. You want your glass nice and cold before you start. Pre-chill your glass by putting some ice into it. If you don't have enough ice, run the glass under some cold water and dry it, or find a suitable way to get it nice and cold!
Get your cocktail shaker. Add 40ml of Roobee rhubarb pink gin. Add 20ml of sugar syrup (you can make your own by adding 2 parts sugar 1 part hot water and let it chill). Now add your fresh lemon juice. Squeeze out half a lemon into a 25ml measure over your shaker.
Add in lots of ice, then give it all a proper firm shake.
Freshly ice up your pre-chilled glass. Double-strain your liquid from your cocktail shaker, through a strainer and into your glass. Fill the glass up halfway, then top your glass up with prosecco.
Get a long peel of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint and delicately place into your glass so it rests on the top.
