A rich, elegant alcohol-free serve combining ripe blackcurrant and fragrant quince with fresh lemon, crisp tonic and a hint of thyme.
You’ll need:
- 25ml Blackcurrant & Quince Cordial
- 15ml fresh lemon juice
- 150–200ml chilled tonic water
- Plenty of ice
- 2–3 thin slices of crisp apple
- 1 small sprig of fresh thyme
- Lemon twist, to garnish
To serve:
Fill a tall glass generously with ice.
Add the Blackcurrant & Quince Cordial and fresh lemon juice.
Add the apple slices and lightly bruise the thyme between your fingers before adding it to the glass.
Top slowly with chilled tonic water and stir gently.
Finish with a lemon twist and a small sprig of thyme.
Make it your own:
For a softer, fruitier serve, replace half the tonic with sparkling apple juice. For something lighter and less bitter, use chilled soda water instead.
