The most refreshing cocktail to cool down with this summer…Yum!

Just the word Julep makes us at FOUR pine for summer. Perhaps its name – reminiscent to that of a particularly lovely spring time flower – is what gets us in the mood for warmer climes and less clothing, or maybe it’s this minted smash cocktail’s citrusy flavours – spiked with pomegranate and honey – which makes us want to break out the scanty tees and stash away our winter scarves for a colder day.
