Spiked with lime and gin, this is like a grown-up slushie. Add a little of the syrup to serve, then hand around extra for your guests to top up as they wish.

Main

1.For cherry, gin and lime syrup, stir sugar, cherries, vanilla and 300ml water in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to a simmer and simmer until cherries soften and liquid reduces to a syrup (12-15 minutes).
