This special version of the classic British cocktail is ideal for a summer gathering. The preparation involves making basil-infused ice cubes the night before. On the day, simply combine Pimm's with chilled lemonade in a large jug. Add the prepared basil ice and fresh strawberry slices for a uniquely flavoured, cooling drink that serves four to six people.

Ingredients

small bunch basil
500ml Pimm's

Method

The evening prior, blend the basil leaves with 500ml water. Pour this mixture into 2-3 ice cube trays and place in the freezer overnight until completely solid.
When ready to serve, pour the Pimm's and the 1 1/2l chilled lemonade into a large jug. Introduce several of the basil ice cubes along with the 200g sliced strawberry, give it a gentle stir, and then pour into glasses.
