Latest summer innovations

Summer is coming to an end, but there’s no let up in quirky innovation. Here are some more recent discoveries I’ve made.

• Cheese ice cream – launched by Adams Foods in the United Kingdom including a cheddar with chutney flavour.

• Blue wine – branded Gik and available online from Spain, with 11.5% alcohol content and colouring from anthocyanin as well as indigo pigments.

• Kendal Mint Cake flavoured liqueur – inevitably from the United Kingdom but now also available in Germany, Switzerland, Thailand and Australia. It has 24% alcohol content and isn’t blue but green.
