Everyone loves a refreshing mojito on a warm afternoon, and you can make a big batch of these minty cocktails as this pitcher serves six. All you'll need is soda water, white rum, lime, sugar and mint.

2) Frosé

Blend rosé wine with strawberries, lemon and sugar to make a batch of this very grown-up slushie. It's perfect for cooling down on a warm summer evening.

3) Piña colada

Channel the tropical flavours of a holiday drink with these easy piña coladas. Simply combine pineapple juice, white rum and coconut cream, then serve over ice in a tall glass. For a frozen blended version, mix the ingredients and freeze in ice cube trays, then whiz the frozen cubes in a blender to a slushy consistency.

This refreshing frozen cocktail is perfect for summer entertaining. Choose your favourite watermelon liqueur or flavoured spirit, such as gin, then combine with white rum. Blend with ice, lime juice and fresh watermelon until smooth.

This combination of fruity flavours is like a tropical vacation in a glass. Combine vodka with peach schnapps, cranberry juice and orange juice to make this vibrant drink.
