Tamarillo Coolers

4 tamarillos 2-3 teaspoons sugar tonic or mineral water

Halve tamarillos and scoop out as much flesh as possible.  Puree in a blender or food processor or pass through a sieve.  Mix with sugar to taste.

Fill three or 4 glasses with ice, pour over some puree and top up with chilled tonic water or mineral water.  Add a dash of gin or vodka for extra zing.
