Sunshine in a glass

Hello lovely readers! For those of you who are reading from the UK you are (hopefully) enjoying your long May Bank holiday weekend. Whatever your plans and whatever the weather (since its the United Kingdom chances of sunshine are slim), this passion fruit collins is sure to brighten your day!

Ingredients
2 shots gin
2 shots lemon juice (or lime)
1 shot sugar syrup
2 Passion fruits (halved)
Ice
Soda Water
Lemon (or lime) slices to garnish

Method
Scoop out pulp and seeds of passion fruits and combine with gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker. Mix together and pour over ice into chosen glass. Top up with soda water, mix and garnish with a lemon slice.

Tip and Tricks
Don't buy sugar syrup! Save money and make your own; slowly heat water and sugar together until its all dissolved.
Too sour? Add more sugar syrup if it suits you
Sugar Alternative: Tesco suggest a squeeze of honey works just as well as sugar syrup
Don't like gin? We are confident that many other types of spirits will also work, try experimenting!

May is a really busy month for us due to exams however we look forward to freedom of summer and blogging to our hearts content. We can't take the credit for this little pick-me-up, the original recipe can be found here (thanks Tesco!).

Love the Cup & Tail Girls
