Pimm’s
We couldn’t leave out the famous ‘Pimm’s o’clock’ classic. This is a truly delightful cocktail made with a blend of Pimm’s which is a gin-based liquer, lemonade, mint leaves, cucumber, orange slices and strawberries. It’s the ultimate fruity punch!

Mango Margarita
Time to talk about the ultimate party cocktail, the beautifully yellow Mango Margarita. This uses frozen mangos, ice, lime juice, tequila and cointreau. These ingredients are all thrown into a blender to produce a smooth and frosty like texture. This recipe is super easy to make up in a pitcher for all your party guests to enjoy. Black Barrel in Liverpool is the one to try for a delicious margarita.
French Martini
The Martini is the ultimate cocktail classic, but have you tasted a French Martini? This rather elegant cocktail is made with Chambord which is a raspberry liqueur, pineapple juice and dry gin. The Bone Yard in Belfast serves up a delightful French Martini!

Whisky Mac
Say hello to this Scottish original cocktail, the Whisky Mac. This is simply a blend of scotch whisky and ginger wine. Whilst this cocktail is popular during colder weathers because of its warming sensation, we think it’s a hybrid! Served on the rocks, a whisky mac offers a sweet and spicy taste to be enjoyed all year round!
