I was at a BBQ recently and the wine, cocktails and beer was flowing aswell as hyper children intrigued by what we was drinking and constantly asking to try some. After much frustration we decided the best way to fool the kids was to make a non alcoholic cocktail and wow it worked a treat!

All we did was mix pineapple juice, grape juice, lemonade and some sugar syrup into a large bowl chopped up some fruit and ice and left it on the table. The children were instantly put off by what we were drinking and happily sat serving themselves “alcoholic” drinks, well that’s what it was in there eyes anyway!

So next time your going to a party and you have children pestering to sample your drink then try this trick, you will not be disappointed!

Everyone i speak to at the moment seems to be on a dreaded diet!

I have done nearly every diet in the book so i no that i have to be very careful when it comes to having a night on the tiles and deciding what drink to stick to for the night.

If you are watching your calories and don’t want to be bloated then stay away from beer for the night, when i drink beer i get a belly that pops out and looks full and feel really sluggish and tired. My advice is to drink diet coke mixed with vodka or gin and slim line tonic. These drinks only have 55 calories per one shot and do not make you feel bloated throughout the night. Do try and stay away from the sugary drinks to such as Malibu and coke and sweet alcopop drinks.

Summer is officially here so why not get into the summer spirit by making some cocktails to sit out in the garden with on a hot summers day.

One of my favourite, refreshing cocktails is an  Absolut Madam so I thought it would be rude not to share the recipe with all you.

Ingredients:

Absolut Citron
Melon Liqueur
Lime and Lemon Liqueur
Mango Syrup

Making the cocktail:

2 parts of the Absolut Citron, 1 shot of the Melon Liqueur, 1 shot of Lime and Lemon Liqueur and add your own desired amount of mango syrup. Shake all the ingredients into a glass with crushed ice. Finish to perfection with an orange wedge.
