Finish in the Pink

An easy classic is the old time favourite Finish in the Pink which for me is full of nostalgia to old school nights in Pitcher & Piano.

2oz Vodka
4 oz of a fruity Rose Wine
2oz apple juice 
Strawberries

Muddle about 4-5 large Strawberries in the mixing glass,

Pour in the ingredients and shake over ice.

Pour into your martini glass and garnish with a strawberry.

A summery and light taste that is fruity and satisfyingly alcoholic without knowing it!...be careful on these!

Bramble Cosmopolitan

A delicious, thick, moody looking drink perfect for those who love the classic cosmo but want to sweet it up a bit with a blast of fruit.

Chuck a few ice cubes in your mixer

squish up a few blackberries - the more you use the thicker it will be- but genrally about 8 largish blackberries.
Once pummeled, add 2oz of Vodka
2oz cointreau or Triple sec
1oz lime cordial 

and SHAKE!
Strain the cocktail into a martini glass to about a third full, top up with cranberry juice.

garnish with a few blackberries and a piece of lime.
