Botanical gin cocktail with coriander
Mix together 1 cup of water, the juice of three limes, 1 cup of gin (yes!), 3 tablespoons of sugar and a few sprigs of coriander. Chill for at least an hour, then add three cups of club soda and serve in a glass with slices of lime.
Beer lovers' snack
Chop up three spring onions, sprinkle them with salt and let them draw for 10 minutes. Then combine them with 1¼ cups of ricotta cheese, ¹/₈ cup of sour cream, 8 radishes (chopped), 6 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 garlic clove (minced), freshly ground black pepper to taste, and chopped herb leaves (oregano, thyme and chives). Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt. Pile onto toasted rye or panini (whichever Dad likes best) and serve with his favourite beer.
Wood-grilled herby bread and wine
This snack, which beautifully complements wine, is so simple. Lightly brush both sides of bread with olive oil. Grill the bread on a braai for a minute on either side, till it is lightly charred. Rub with garlic, fresh tomato and sprinkle with Herbes de Provence.
