Salted caramel hot chocolate
Winter is made for foodie indulgences like this one. And we seriously can’t get enough of our salted caramel hot chocolate. Not to mention that it’s super easy to make.
5 ways with hot chocolate
Simple and comforting or souped-up and indulgent, there’s nothing quite like a mug of proper hot chocolate. By ‘proper’, we mean made the old-fashioned way: Real chocolate stirred into hot milk until it melts, creating a thick, rich, creamy cup of happiness. Sugar and other flavourings might be added – with no powdered milk in sight.
Roxy’s mulled wine
They knew how to winter back in the good old days and our online manager, Roxy, developed this medieval mulled wine and it has been enjoyed on many a wintry weekend evening in her home. So grab your favourite bottle of red, some vitamin C-packed citrus and your spices, and you’re good to go.
Avocado margaritas
Yes, you read right! We made a tequila treat with everyone’s absolute favourite fruit. Our unique take on the classic is perfect for a Mexican-themed menu. Enjoy our avocado margaritas at cocktail hour this weekend, served with tortilla chips, salsa and enchiladas.
Nectarine milkshakes
It’s time to indulge in the last of summer’s stone fruits by making these nectarine milkshakes for your guests (or just for you!) this weekend. If you are having people over, we recommend you get a bit fancy and serve them mini milkshakes as they arrive. Set up a table with a selection of nuts, sprinkles and fresh fruit for a milkshake buffet that will be a hit with kids and grown-ups alike, much like this recipe. Spike them some rum for the adults and add a bit of pineapple for some extra zing.
Jelly babies
Do you love the taste of jelly babies as much as we do? We decided to take things a step further for the long weekend and try to turn this flavour into a fun boozy treat. Try these babies out and let us know what you think.
Strawberry margaritas
These thirst-quenching margaritas are perfect for any time of the year and you can personalise them even further by making your own simple syrup.
Tom Collins
Use a shaker when you have more mixer than spirit. Thicker ingredients such as syrups and cream liqueurs can also mix inconsistently – so they should be shaken. Shaking with ice is a good way to cool down a drink and dilute it for perfect balance. Our favourite shaken cocktail? Why, the Tom Collins!
Drinks or dessert? Let’s just have both!
We all dream of a world where we can have our cake and eat it too. But if we had to have all the cake we wanted (read: everyday), it wouldn’t fit too well into our plan of living a relatively healthy and balanced life. So what are we then to do when it comes to choosing between dessert or that after-work cosmo? Well, why not just throw it in with the batter!
Cold brew and tonic
Coffee that’s kegged like beer, refreshing on a warm day and contains more caffeine than your regular cuppa? There’s no reason not to love cold brew coffee. And you can turn it into a fun mocktail with our short and sweet recipe.
