Lockdown cocktails week 9: Bashall Berry Fizz for National Cream Tea Day

The last Friday in June is National Cream Tea Day, so what better excuse to whip up or buy a batch of homemade scones and serve them with clotted cream, raspberry jam and the perfect alcoholic accompaniment. Fancy cream teas are often served with sparkling wine, but we’ve gone one better — mashing fresh strawberries and raspberries together and pushing them through a sieve and then mixing them with 50ml of Damson & Elderberry gin and topping up with fizz for an intensively fruity berry treat.
