SHAKE IT TO MAKE IT

Wonderland Cocktails are bar-quality canned cocktails that are ready to sip in seconds. The Strawberry Daiquiri is a punchy number with a silky mouthfeel, made with Duo white rum, strawberries, lime and sugar. Meanwhile, the Watermelon Margarita blends Casa Rayos tequila blanco, watermelon, lime juice and salt, for a tropical spin on a Mexican classic. Both pair brilliantly with heaps of sunshine. Simply chill, shake for 10 seconds (there’s extra room in the can so you can get a perfect mix), then pour into a cocktail glass. Please drink responsibly.

AHEAD OF THE PACK

The people at Pipers are particularly fussy when it comes to sourcing the flavours for their brilliantly bold crisps. You see, each packet starts with the best-quality potatoes, and so it’s only right that the seasonings follow suit. Take the Anglesey Sea Salt crisps, made with salt harvested from the Menai Strait in north-west Wales. Or the Great Berwick Longhorn Beef flavour, produced using 35-day dry-aged meat from an organic farm in Shrewsbury. And if you’re a cheese and onion fan, the Lye Cross Cheddar & Onion interpretation arrives via master cheesemakers in Somerset. Grab a pack and try for yourself

SAVOUR THE SEASON

Maldon Salt’s unique pyramid sea salt flakes have been hand-harvested in Essex using the same artisan methods for over 140 years. It’s a tradition that has been maintained for good reason. The delicate sea salt flakes are renowned for their sweet precision, fresh intensity and clean taste. It’s a highly versatile ingredient that can be used to elevate plenty of summer dishes with just a pinch, crush or crumble. And keep an eye out for Maldon’s Smoked Sea Salt, which is gently smoked over oak for a deep and rich taste.

TURN UP THE HEAT

The team at Sauce Shop are obsessed with flavour, and every one of their condiments uses the best ingredients.

Spicy, tangy and salty with a creamy mouthfeel, this vibrant orange bottle is an excellent compadre to all things chicken – from wings, to breaded burgers or chicken hot dogs. You can also use it as a glaze for prawn skewers, a grilled cheese sandwich enhancer, or a dip with corn ribs, making it an all-round barbecue hero.

COOL CONES

Since its invention in Naples over 50 years ago, Cornetto ice cream has become an icon of British summertime. This year, Cornetto has launched its most indulgent Cornetto range ever, Cornetto Max – with two delicious flavours you won’t be able to resist. The Hazelnut & Chocolate cones feature both chocolate and hazelnut ice cream, with a smooth hazelnut sauce running all the way through the cone, topped with a chocolate disc and caramelised hazelnut pieces. The Mango & Vanilla cones have a smooth white chocolate flavour disc and a deliciously tangy tropical sauce, atop mango and vanilla ice creams. Of course, both also feature that signature waffle cone with the legendary chocolatey tip
