The last time I had cocktails was at my friends hen night. We were taught how to make them and then got to enjoy our hard work. It was lots of fun.
I really enjoy cocktails because you always know you are going to get an explosion of flavours. I don’t often make them at home though because they can be a bit complicated and you need lots of ingredients.
Soho Juice Co. have aimed to ease the job of making cocktails at home by providing an interesting mixer based on the humble cucumber. The Soho is a soft drink made from a mixture of lemon, lime, cucumber and mint and it tastes refreshing on it’s own but is great mixed with alcohol.
I received my Soho Juice in a glass bottle with a plastic stopper. I couldn’t wait to get started and flicked through the book I’d been provided with all the cocktail recipes. I decided it had to be a classic Martini.
- 20ml dry vermouth
- 40ml dry gin
- Splash of Soho Juice
- Some ice cubes
- A slice of lime (and a little squeeze)
My favourite cocktail 🙂 I've just had a baby so I can now start to enjoy the odd drink on a weekend again x
I always worry that any cocktail I make at home will be horrible or so strong it knocks me flat on my back! I do like the odd one when we are out though!
What a great idea! I do love a cocktail and with this lovely weather, that would be a nice way to relax at the end of the day.
This is exactly what I needed to read today as I'm in my garden on the hottest day of the year pretending I'm by the coast! I think a mid-afternoon cocktail is in order!
I do love a spot of cocktail mixing but I have a tendency to make mine really strong, of course not a bad thing but can get expensive to replace all the different alcohols needed lol
This sounds delicious – perfect refreshment for cooling off on a hot day! x
oooh I do like the sound of that! I'll have to look out for it x x
Sounds brilliant for in the home – I used to make cocktails when I worked in a bar but unless you have a huge drinks cabinet its impossible at home
ooo how lovely! I got a cocktail kit a few years ago, I really should get it out in time for the summer 🙂
