We asked cocktail gardener, Lottie Muir, her top tip for growing and making your own ingredients for cocktails:

"Grow something you can't buy. We use masses of chocolate mint which smells like an 'After Eight'. It's ridiculously easy to grow and goes beautifully in a Chocolate Mint Julep with some bourbon over crushed ice and a dash of chocolate bitters. A cocktail is a feast for all the senses so grow beautiful plants that have beautiful blossoms as well as fragrant leaves. For example, blackcurrant sage has leaves you can use in a blackcurrant mojito as well as stunning scarlet flowers for a garnish. Have a few year round plants as well to keep some structure and shape in your flowerbeds. Staples like lavender and rosemary will provide year round flavour and scent."
