PIMM'S CUP

Steps:

• To a large pitcher, add the strawberries, cucumbers, mint and lemon, lime and orange slices. Pour in the prosecco, Pimm's, Simple Syrup and lemon juice and stir to combine. Let stand at least 30 minutes for the fruit to impart its flavor to the drink.
• Stir in some ice to chill down the cocktail, then serve in glasses over ice, adding some fruit and cucumber to each glass.
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Keep covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

PIMM'S

Steps:

• Fill a jug with ice and pour over the Pimm's and lemonade. Give it a good stir then add the mint, cucumber and fruit.

PIMM'S SCONES

Steps:

• For the filling, in a small pan over low heat, stir the jam and Pimm's until melted and combined. Increase heat to medium-high and bubble for 5min, or until thick and gloopy. Scrape into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan) mark 7 and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. For the scones, sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir through the sugar and orange zest.
• In a small jug, whisk the egg and milk, until combined. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Using a cutlery knife, gently mix, until the dough comes together. Knead briefly in the bowl to make a soft, but not sticky dough.
• Lightly flour a worksurface, tip out the dough and divide in 1/2. Shape each portion into a 12cm disc, working it as little as possible. Cut each disc into 6 equal triangles.
• Arrange the triangles on the lined sheet, spacing slightly apart. Brush the tops with milk and bake for 10min, or until risen and golden. Transfer to wire rack and leave to cool completely.
• To serve, stir the strawberries and mint into the chilled jam mixture. Split the scones and serve with the clotted cream and strawberry filling.
