Liquid Luncheon.

Saturday, May 06, 2017

I'm currently over in Singapore for a few days, so here's a post I've prepared earlier :-)
[Just letting you know that because I will be landing back in Australia on Monday night, The Weekly Bit will be uploaded on Tuesday morning at 6am(AEST). This is so I can upload the photos to my laptop on Monday night]

For my northern hemisphere readers who are entering the Summer season, I thought this post would be fitting. For my southern hemisphere readers, it's still totally acceptable to have a garden party or friends over for a few cocktails any time of year ;) Here are a few of my favourite cocktails for any occasion. I've got all of these ideas from Pinterest over the years and have a board dedicated to my favourite (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) drinks; you can find it here.

I like to play around with measurements and differ the amount of alcohol or soda that goes into the drink depending on the time of day or crowd that I have over, so I've left the measurements out for you to decide. And the measurements I have given (for sugar or other flavours) are for one drink :-)

Elderflower & Gin
All you need for this cocktail is gin (my favourite is any from the Four Pillars range), elderflower liqueur, a dash of lemon juice and Prosecco.


Blackberry & Bourbon 
This one takes a little more time (and ingredients); you're going to need bourbon, a dash of lime juice, muddled mint leaves and blackberries, a tablespoon(ish) of sugar and soda water.

Early Grey Martini 
Again for this one, you'll need some gin. You will also need cold Earl Grey tea, a dash of lemon juice, a teaspoon of sugar and half an egg white.

Tequila Honey Bee 
(I usually switch out the tequila for vodka)
You will need tequila (or vodka), a teaspoon of honey, a dash of lemon juice and some Angostura bitters.


White Peach, Rose and Raspberry Sangria
This is one of my favourites!! I use Prosecco, peach brandy and rose water. And then I throw in a handful of raspberries, some finely sliced peach and a few rose petals.

much love, 
XO
