Notes

Tip from my kitchen: muddle the blackberries and rosemary only lightly in the glass – that releases their aroma and colour without turning it bitter. The melon purée can be made ahead and chilled; top the drink up with sparkling water or prosecco only just before serving so it stays lovely and fizzy. A few ice cubes and an extra rosemary sprig look pretty in the glass.
