Ice for preparation Place fruit into the blender with ice and a splash of gin and blitz until puree'd. Place the sieve over a the small pan and pass the puree through the sieve with the spatula in order to remove seeds and pulp. Next, put all the puree into the glass and add the gin (go for a double if you're a classy broad like us!). Top up with lemonade and a few cubes of ice to keep chilled. Gently stir to combine.

We're wrapping up our "A Very Austen Summer" series with a house favorite (paired with a not so favored cocktail). Buckle up as we live our Jane Austen fantasy through Keri Russell as she takes the ultimate cosplay vacation and juggles a hot groundskeeper and Tom Hiddleston's cousin (we kid...JJ Feild, to our knowledge, is not related to TH, but he should be). We are also introduced to the pluckiest Austen heroin of all, Miss Elizabeth Charming, better known as Stifler's mom, Jennifer Coolidge.
