It’s cocktail hour here on F O and this time I’m sharing a citrus-spice twist on a French 75. After all, if there’s a time of the year to spice your classic cocktails up then it’s got to be during the festive season. This post contains an item that was gifted to me (marked with an asterisk)....
Let the festivities continue! This time I’m talking gifts. It’s that time of year when we’re all thinking ‘oh god, Christmas is getting awfully close isn’t it? What am I going to get so-and-so?!’. Unless you’re one of those incredibly well organised Christmas gift buying bosses..which I most certainly am not. So for anyone...
We’re going dark and fruity this time for Wine Wednesday with the Dark Horse Merlot. Dark Horse are a fairly new brand to me but they’re one that has quickly become a go-to of mine as well. I tried their rosé a few months back when it had a discount on in Tesco (and...
It’s been a hot minute since the last Wine Wednesday, I know. And that most definitely is not because I haven’t been drinking wine (because I’ve actually been trying plenty of new wines over the last couple of months). If I’m completely honest it’s because I kept forgetting to take photos of the wine...
Another day another cocktail recipe to try out at home. This time I’m sharing a lovely light, refreshing spritz that’s perfect for sunny day sipping..a rosé spritz. I found the inspiration for this recipe over on Taste of Home from their ‘Swedish Rose Spritz’ recipe and knew I had to try it for myself....
I’m back with another Wine Wednesday and this week I’m giving you twice as much fabulous wine content as last time. Yeah that’s right, I’m taking you through a white AND a rosé (I spoil you, I know) from a UK based wine distributor which I’m so excited to share with you. If you...
Wine is something that I started developing an interest in about 4 years ago when I took a trip to one of my favourite Spanish cities, San Sebastián. As an 18/19 year old at the time, wine wasn’t something that I’d really drank a lot before. My go-to was a whiskey sour or a...
The Aperol Spritz is one of those cocktails that everyone’s heard of. After it became massively trendy in the last year or so, pretty much all of us have tried it. It’s been a favourite drink of mine for years, and one that I make on the regular. I was thinking about whether or...
Picture this… it was back in August on my 22nd birthday. I was stuck in Manchester airport with a 4-hour delay on my flight to Jerez and had plenty of time to kill. So of course my solution to the delay was trying out a new spritz in the airport bar. It was my...
Up until my trip to Lisbon, I was set on the Aperol Spritz as being my drink of the summer but this all changed after my first sip of Port and Tonic. Consisting of white port and tonic, served with ice and lemon (or lime…whatever floats your boat) this simple yet sophisticated drink is...
