Sauce - Put the sauce ingredients in a microwaveable bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside for 1 hour + (garlic flavour melds). Just before serving, microwave for 40 seconds to warm (but not hot) then give it a good whisk. Taste and add more lemon for tangier, or more water to loosen (some yogurts are thicker than others).

An original by servedbysoberon on IG, but I've modified it to be more beer-forward by downplaying the sweet/sour a bit. The beer is called Frida, a #NEIPA by local brewer Braukollektiv in #Freiburg. Great summer smasher!

After harvesting our lemon verbena, my wife has stewed some leaves for a most delicious and refreshing drink.

Lemon verbena is the strongest smelling lemon fragranced plant I know, and our house now has a fruity scent mingling with the herbs.

Early Bird

½ oz lemon juice
1 oz pineapple juice
¼ oz simple syrup
¼ oz coffee liqueur
½ oz coffee-infused Campari
1 oz Jamaican Blended Aged Rum ❸

Garnish: pineapple frond, coffee beans
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Double strain over a big rock and garnish.

A really lovely jungle bird riff when you need a pick-me-up in the afternoon. A little caffeinated, a little boozy! The coffee-infused Campari is really delightful on its own and absolutely stands out in this spec. First seen from IG subtletiki.

Gin Basil Smash

handful fresh basil
1 oz lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2 oz london dry gin

Garnish: basil sprig
Method: muddle the basil leaves and gin in a shaker. Let sit for two minutes to absorb more color. Add the remaining ingredients with crushed ice, shake, and double strain. Serve up or over a big rock.

This is a go-to on a sunny day, and half the reason I keep two kinds of basil growing on the balcony 🪴 I wanted to use the last of my purple basil before the nights get too cold, and was really pleased with the turnout!
