    Summer is here, which means it's the perfect weather for you to enjoy a G&T in a huge glass at a delightful rooftop bar. If you prefer your gin at home, there's a Waitrose gin tasting service which allows you to try a range of flavours from the comfort of your couch. Either way, you can enjoy your favourite tipple.

    And these days there are so many gin-based goods on the shelves, from gin and tonic drizzle for pancakes to grapefruit and elderflower offerings.

    So you'll be pleased to know you can now combine your love of gin and your love of baking thanks to the new ASDA pink gin cupcake kits. Oh, yes.

    The packets cost just £1.75 and they'll make six cupcakes and includes paper cases. The only additional ingredients you'll need are eggs, butter and water. Whack them in a bowl with the mix, bake for 15-18 minutes and your pink gin cupcakes are almost ready to eat.

    There is one more step, and that's decorating your baked goods by adding the raspberry gin and tonic flavour frosting mix and sprinkling the red sugar crunch pieces on top.

    Just so you know, they don't contain actual gin - just flavourings. However, they'd make the perfect addition to any summer spread, whether you're having a BBQ or casual garden drinks with your pals.

    The kits are available online and we're certain they'll sell out so you'll have to be quick.
