Fizz Cocktails
Strawberry Fizz with a mix of Mexican Character
Cocktails do not always have to be complicated to make, require in-depth ingredients and all the snazzy bar paraphernalia in order to produce something you and your guests will enjoy – Sometimes in can be simple and easy!

Prosecco Cocktail in Bottles from Long Flint
Long Flint kindly sent us a selection of their bottled cocktail samples and one caught our eye in having Prosecco within the menu! The Negroni Sbagliato offers an easy to drink, not too strong (5.2% alcohol) with red berry fruit / blood orange flavours – The Prosecco is not overly evident so if this is…
Chambord and Fizz
I totally get why some people in the world of sparkling wines including producers would prefer that their wines are enjoyed as they are, though many of us will still look to enjoy our fizz in cocktails. A cocktail can be something we have got all the ingredients for and we follow a strict recipe…
Cheering for Cups
Cups are bubbling Summer drinks from long ago: mixed, iced, sweetened, always with fresh fruits, always made in quantity, always presented in ceramic or glass jugs or bowls decorated with garlands of herbs.

As borrowed from the locals in Brazil, circa 1600, when the Ports were the first Europeans to come across…
Caorunn, a Quadruple-Distilled Gin & Champagne Cocktail
Just the other day I was at an art event in London and I spotted a table laid out with Gin bottles and glasses and over in the corner I saw that on chill was a bottle of Champagne… So my attention obviously moved from studying some fine art at prices alas ‘over my budget’ prices…
Tomatin Legacy Whisky and Molvino DOCG Extra Dry Prosecco
Simple cocktails sometimes work very well, you want to jazz up an ordinary bottle of fizz in the fridge or wish to add something extra to give a further kick to that spirit. I was recently at a London launch event for Tomatin Distillery where I was able to taste through a selection of the…
