Inspirational fashion knitwear from the 20th century.
Highlights include 1920s Chanel jersey, 1930s woollen swimwear, 1970s Bill Gibb

Vivienne Westwood and Julien MacDonald. An exciting combination of famous names
and visually exciting pieces, the exhibition charts the influence of art

knitwear, textile design, and contemporary craft.
Tickets are available HERE.
Sign up early before tickets sell out and you'll have
something to look forward to for when the weather cools down! :)
We hope you're having a lovely summer!
I'm not very experimental for those things, I prefer a very classical lemonade (lemon or lime, sparkling water, cane sugar, maybe a little fresh mint leaves) or mojito (same, with rum and of course fresh mint is no longer optional)
ReplyDeleteGreat jug! What a lovely giveaway!
Have a lovely summer to you too!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite juice is: fresh watermelone, strawberries and mint leaves :P

Here you are my recipe for a natural fizzy drink aka lemonade
ReplyDeleteIngredients
800ml water
50g brown sugar
juice of 1 lemon
Boil water then add the sugar and blend till the sugar is melted. Now leave it till the mixture is at room temperature.
Add the lemon juice.
Now you can drink it maybe adding different fruits.
Orange juice, a few slices of orange to make it look pretty, some lime juice, lots of sugar, red wine and lots of ice. Sangria for my friends!
ReplyDeleteLovely pitcher!
ReplyDeleteFresh Meadow is our favorite in the summer to put in a pitcher.
This usually makes 4 drinks.
Peel and juice 3 cucumbers (if you don't have a juicer, peel and blend and sieve)
Muddle a mint sprig with caster sugar
Add a few jiggers of Hendrick's Gin
Juice of one lime
Top off pitcher with cold seltzer
Add a mint leaf or reserve a few cucumber peels for garnish
I love gathering mulberries and they make a great spring and summer drink.
ReplyDeleteMulberry Lemonade:
Juice 4+ lemons (depending on taste)
Muddle 1/2 cup of mulberries
2 Cups of water
1/2 cup agave or powdered sugar
Fresh mint if you like the taste : )
The ratios for a perfect cosmo cocktail
ReplyDeleteThis makes 250 ml.
50 ml vodka
25 ml orange liqueur
25 ml lime juice
150 ml cranberry juice
Finish with either an orange wedge or piece of peel.
