With our favourite cocktail bars being a no-go for the time being, why...

Dark Horse Merlot, My Review (Wine Wednesday)

Freixenet Italian Rosé Wine: Wine Wednesday
It’s been a hot minute since the last Wine Wednesday, I know.

Aperol Spritz: My Aperol Spritz Cocktail Recipe
An Aperol Spritz is one of those cocktails that pretty much everyone will have heard of. After it became massively trendy over the last few years or so, I think it’s fair to say that most of us will have tried it at some point. For me, it’s been a favourite drink for years,...
Cocktail Hour: St Germain Spritz
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. The drink was...
