Brutal Fruit asked a few South African celebs to share their recipes for summer cocktails to beat the heat. Meet Jena Dover’s cocktail – which, if it doesn’t cool you down, might just heat things up!
Don’t let the soft pinky tones brought on by the cranberry and marshmallows fool you into thinking this cocktail is all summertime sweetness. You’ll find the Pimms, Schnapps and tartness of the strawberries give this classy drink an unexpected kick and a bracing flavour sensation. Brutal Fruit Apple Ginger and fresh mint top it off with a zest which, like this talented actress and lawyer, are easy on the eye but certainly pack a punch.
