Wedding Cocktails
Well it's Friday and it will be totally unacceptable for us to not finish off the week with a seriously inspirational post. As I am feeling quite festive at the moment.... Why? I know not.... I think it is necessary to highlight some guilty pleasures, and NO I am not thinking along the same lines as the naughty readers. My mind strays to wonderland and it finally comes to me..... COCKTAILS and I turn to Jamie Boudreau, Belvoir Fruit Farms and Sweet Saucy for inspiration....
I am one of those girls that never quite appreciated alcohol! Weird to 99% of the UK population... but I just did not like the taste of it. So after several attempts at knocking down dreadful spirits just to fit in and be cool, I finally came out as a TEA TOTALITE ! Tell a lie, I did drink Baileys(not cool) and rosé(ladylike)..... so there! Jokes sprung from every angle on night outs.
Then I discovered cocktails and the rest they say is history........ So for the unconverted TEA TOTALITE planning to punish their guests with a non alcoholic do, here are a few recipes for tastefully getting wasted (within reason of course)
We advice that you rename them after a meaningful holiday destination, special memories and so on!
