The secret is out – I love cocktails! Anyone that follows my Instagram page would be well aware of this. Deliciously created with indulgent ingredients that at their best are made with theatre and flair – it’s not just a drink, it’s an experience!
I love having them made for me at cocktail bars and being dazzled by the bar tenders talent and skill but sometimes it’s nice to create them in the comfort of your own home it’s convenient and cost effective but still a little decadent!
This is my absolute favourite cocktail recipe commonly known as a Paloma – pretty and simple, fresh and tasty, a little sweet and a little sour – perfect! Make it in bulk or make individual serves it’s easy and delicious either way.
