A Margarita to celebrate International Margarita Day! 🍸❤️ If you feel like making one for yourself, here’s how I make mine to help transport myself to Los Cabos, Mexico!

This one is a twist on a classic try martini using the latest Four Pillars Spice Trade Gin, a collaboration with @strangerandsons, another award wining gin distillery based in Goa.

Awamori is the oldest distilled liquor in Japan and unique to Okinawa. It's known as Shima-zake (Island Sake), made from rice like sake but instead distilled. It’s clean, crisp taste makes it perfect as a cocktail base and pairing with japanese flavours. I’ve decided to pair it with some yuzu juice to make a sour.

Sharing 4 different types of G&Ts to celebrate World Gin Day! I’ve used some of my favourite gins and paired different tonics from Fever Tree to match the aromatics and also added in garnishes to complement.

Bringing you an alternative take on the classic Clover Club cocktail, using Tanqueray's Blackcurrant Royale Gin. Whilst a Clover Club cocktail is traditionally a raspberry flavoured cocktail using grenadine, I’ve decided to turn this into a ‘Currant Club’ playing on the flavours of blackcurrant instead.

This cocktail is inspired by those blackcurrant pastille lollies that I was obsessed with as a kid. It has a sugar rim which complements this slightly sweeter style gin and the lime makes it taste a bit like a margarita. If you want some fruity, sweet with a hit of sour, this one’s for you!

The vibe
It’s Friday and you’ve got 3:30itis and you need something more than a coffee to hit differently and get you to the weekend early.

The taste
A spiked iced mocha

Sharing a delicious passionfruit cocktail I had the pleasure of making and drinking when I visited Trawool estate and checked out their newest restaurant and bar. It’s a lovely balance of vanilla sweetness with zesty passionfruit and the usually frothiness from a sour.

The Cosmopolitan is an Iconic cocktail loved by all! The Vibe: Friday night drinks with the girls (Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte & Miranda) in New York. The Taste: Fruity, slightly sweet, slightly sour, always delicious, you could easily drink 3

A fruity martini with hints of blackcurrant and apple, using Tanqueray's Blackcurrant Royale Gin. I used green apple juice to add a bit of tang and zing to contrast the berry sweetness from the blackcurrant gin.

A highly requested cocktail that's also one of my favourite cocktails. The vibe: You’re the model from Peter Andre’s ‘Mysterious Girl’ music video frolicking in a lagoon and Peter Andre glides over and hands you one of these. The taste is sweet, crisp, honestly there are no adequate words to describe this perfection!
