Up your drinks game with summer ciders, an elderflower daiquiri and sunshiny sour beer

Signature Brew, in east London’s Walthamstow, has launched a new, citrussy beer just in time for peak barbecue season. A slightly hazy, beautifully crisp sour that doesn’t tip over into mouth-puckering, C-Sharp Sicilian Lemon & Citra Sour (£3.15/330ml; signaturebrew.co.uk)

balances the lower acidity and perfume of Sicilian lemons with crisp Citra hops. A perfect intro to the sour style, this is a tart summer refresher.

If you’re new to the sour beer category, others to explore range from crisp, light berliner weisse and salty, lip-smacking gose to cidery lambics and fruity Flemish ales.

ELDERFLOWER DAIQUIRI Put 50ml of white rum, 25ml of lime juice and 15ml of elderflower cordial or liqueur in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a coupe glass.
