I used to be a huge fan of Baileys, recently I've found myself going off it...its not the creaminess that makes me chuck, its the whisky.

Basically what this is is a ...  Read the complete review

This is a great cocktail - perfect for parties or entertaining guests over dinner.

Excellent recipe i picked up in a bar. It's called summerberry cocktail: Fill a large jug with 2 bottles of Rasberry and Apple J2O. Top up with pepsi, add wedges of chopped limes. Voila!

I have always wanted these because on TV they always blend things and it seemed like fun but I ...  Read the complete review

Since buying our first home together last year, my bloke and I have found ourselves less inclined to go clubbing and on bar crawls of a weekend and instead, we've started having dinner parties and drinks with friends - mainly because the mortgage payments don't allow us enough cash to go out on the town! Inevitably, the ...  Read the complete review

As my name suggests, I am a prolific maker of jam! Jam of all flavours, from simple strawberry, down to a bizarre mix of marrow and ginger! I grow all my own organic fruit, so have a large surplus. And there is a limit to the number of jars one can collect and use for jam! Therefore, come October, I can be found in my kitchen, ...  Read the complete review

Cocktails for me bring memories flooding back of warm holiday evenings, drinking some concoction out of a fake Pineapple or Coconut shell, with more umbrellas, sparklers and monkeys with fluffy tails than anyone should decently be seen with, and what ever you order has always got so much coconut in you cant taste anything ...  Read the complete review

I was in the supermarket the other day looking at the own brand spirits when inspiration suddenly washed over me. The very thing I thought to while away a few hours in my kitchen and simply to make as well. I would make Sloe gin but why stop at that I could make flavoured spirits and dish them up as Christmas presents to my folks this ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever tried Greek Retsina? It's white wine made in a process which involves pine resin somewhere along the line, and has an aromatic taste. Recently, I was drinking some wine and had about half a glass left. Being quite thirsty, I topped it up with apple juice. I was amazed to find that it had a similar flavour! I ...  Read the complete review

A few weeks ago when the weather was hot I decided that I wanted a cold alcoholic drink. I experimented by putting vodka and mashed orange in the freezer then eating it later on (it was delicious!).
