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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Packed with iron, vitamins A, C, E and K, niacin, folate, calcium and potassium from the baby spinach, heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids from the avo, and all the healing, antioxidant powers of green tea, sweetened with raw honey… This is a superfood smoothie bomb in a jar!
Since its arrival on the foodie scene, coconut water has been hailed as nature’s own miracle drink. Its wild popularity has led many to question its supposed nutritional value, dismissing the flavoursome water as just another passing health trend. But don’t be fooled. Coconut water is wonderfully hydrating too. The clear liquid found inside young, green coconuts (not to be confused with coconut milk) contains five essential electrolytes: calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sodium and potassium. You’ve probably heard the claims that this sweet water has anti-ageing, anti-carcinogenic and anti-thrombotic effects, but this hasn’t been proven yet.
