The heat may be on, but you can chill out with the mint and ice of the Mint Julep at your next barbecue. It’s the big freeze made for large gatherings, originally served at the Kentucky Derby in the US. Enjoy with your favourite guests for the perfect photo finish.

Then when you have a garden party on the go, shake up a Strawberry Daiquiri – the popular variation on the classic Daiquiri. Use some of those strawberries destined for the cream, along with rum, lime juice and sugar for the British summer in freeze frame.

Or give your house party a South American flavour with the Caiprioska. This vodka twist on the Caipirinha has lime and sugar muddled together, and is then topped with crushed ice. You can add in Latin music sounds and serve up a Mojito to make a beach party of it. This classic long drink is frozen in time as well as in the glass, still made as it was for Ernest Hemingway at La Bodeguita bar back in 1950s Havana.

Finally you might want a picnic with no fuss, but enough frozen drinks to go round, so grab some Smirnoff Frozen Pouches or Parrot Bay Frozen Pouches for easy, squeezy, freezy cocktails.
