A sure-fire way to elevate your spritz? Head to the herb garden.

“Herbs have always been used in cocktails,” says Burgess, “but the bar is being raised now.

“More and more mixologists are looking at what’s in the kitchen and, guided by seasonality, using herbs in exciting ways.”

“Thyme is really subtle, and brings out the peach here brilliantly.”

2 cups diced peaches
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup honey
3 sprigs fresh thyme
Ice
30ml Ketel One Botanical Peach & Orange Blossom
Soda water
Peach slices

(Makes one serving; contains one UK unit of alcohol)

Bring the diced peaches, water, honey and thyme to a boil in a saucepan, then remove and leave to cool.

Strain the mixture through a sieve, then add 60ml into a lowball glass over ice.

Add the Ketel One Botanical, top with soda water and garnish with a peach slice and some thyme sprigs.
