Simple OJ Ice Lollies

Simple to make and extra-refreshing on a hot day, these orange-juice lollies are great to have on stand-by in your freezer. Most fruit juices will freeze well, so have fun experimenting – we particularly like a half-and-half blend of fresh orange and apple juices, with just a dash of lime. Makes approximately 4 lollies (please see note about quantities).

Mango Smoothie

This dairy-free smoothie looks like a glassful of sunshine – guaranteed to brighten even the dullest of mornings! If you’re not a fan of banana, you can leave it out of the recipe or substitute an extra mango instead.

Greendale Rum Banana Smoothie

One for the grownups, this is not a ‘virtuous’ smoothie (though you could try arguing that the bananas count towards your ‘five a day’!). Cool and delicious with a sweetly spicy kick, it’s perfect at the end of a long, hot day. Serves 2.

Greendale Gin & Tonic Ice Lollies

Strictly for adults, these cooling lollies take the phrase ‘ice and a slice’ to a new level! If you like, you can add a teaspoon of lemon or lime juice before you fill the moulds. Makes approximately 4 lollies (please see note about quantities).

Gorgeous Green Smoothie

This vibrant green smoothie is rich in iron and protein, and tastes pretty good, too! Serves 2.

Blueberry and Banana Smoothie

This made-in-moments smoothie is an appealing choice when you need a quick pick-me-up. The yoghurt can be substituted for soya, oat or almond milk if preferred, or omitted altogether. Serves 2.

Strawberry Smoothie Ice Lollies Recipe

Creamy yoghurt and fresh berries are a summery match made in heaven. If your strawberries are really ripe, you may wish to use less honey - if they’re not as sweet as you’d like, use a little more. Makes approximately 4 lollies (please see note about quantities).

Iced Espresso Martini Cocktail

A classic coffee cocktail with a Greendale twist!

Devon Elderflower Cordial Recipe

Truly the taste of summer, this cordial is delicious with still or sparkling water, and even better added to a glass of sparkling wine. The recipe makes about 800ml of cordial - you can store it in a sterilised glass screw-top wine or juice bottle (the hot cycle of a dishwasher should be fine for sterilising) and it will keep in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
