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.

Well it’s Monday again and i have just about recovered from my weekend!
As i told you on Friday i made my vodka fruit punch and it was scrumptious and went down a treat. I then headed to a bar and when its sunny i usually drink Sex On The Beach cocktails but for a change i was drinking Woo Woo cocktails. I have never drunk this before and i am disappointed that i have been missing out, i am now hooked and Sex On The Beach cocktails are history!
Not only are they sooooo tasty they are easy to make, see below for how to make a Woo Woo:
25mill of peach schnapps
25mill of vodka
50mill of cranberry juice
Crushed ice
Mix all of the above into a glass, stir and hey presto one tasty drink has been made. If you want to be extra snazzy place a strawberry on the top of the glass!
The only problem with Woo Woo cocktails is that they are to refreshing and can be downed a little to easy. Meaning that in the space of an hour i was on my third one, whoops!
I then went to another club for a dance i thought it would be a good idea to drink sambukas shots and as they didn’t sell cocktails here i had to start on the rose wine and this all mixed with the several glasses of Woo Woo cocktails i have been drinking was a recipe for disaster so from 3 in the morning onwards my night was a blur and it was not pleasant to wake up in a bed full of sick, no class whatsoever hey!
So this weekend i have learnt that Woo Woo cocktails rock mixed with rose wine and sambukas shots don’t and don’t get me started on the hangover the next day…..

Its Friday already and i am very excited because:
1. I can have lie ins
2. I am going to get very merry tonight and tomorrow
3. I can put my glam rags on
4. And it’s now 56 days until i go on holiday (sad i know but counting the days already!)
So is anyone doing anything to make me jealous this weekend???
I will bore you with my drinking antics this weekend and i have also got a recipe for a drink that’s to die for!
Tonight i am eating Dominos pizza whilst watching Big Brother and that will be washed down with vodka diet cokes. Ok so i am drinking diet coke to make me not feel as guilty eating a pizza. I also find that drinking vodka with normal coke really bloats you. If you are trying to diet then vodka diet cokes and gin and tonics are the best drinks for you as the calories are next to nothing.
Saturday i am out about in bars and we will most likely start in cocktail bars. I love cocktails especially when the weather is hot but i do try and stick to the same ones. I once drank loads of different cocktails that were a mix of everything from Bacardi to Rum and mixing my drinks made me so ill that i have learnt to stick to the same ones for the night now.
Before i go out though i am going to make an alcohol fruit punch. It is refreshing and good fun to get the night started. If you want to make a fruit punch see below for how to make one:
Ingredients:
Pineapple juice
Orange juice
Cranberry juice
Champagne
Vodka
Fruit – more the better like strawberries, grapes, apple, cherries, oranges!
Add all the ingredients into a bowl and pour the mix in, i would suggest pouring equal amount of each juice into the bowl. The alcohol is up to you depending on how drunk you want to get! Chop up all the fruit and finish with loads of ice on top. All you need to do now is mix and enjoy!
If you are to make this it is sure to get you into the party spirit!
Hope you all have a fab weekend!!! x

I attempted to write a post yesterday but my hangover got the better of me and eating chocolate all day was much more appealing than trying to work a computer!
As you can see from my last post i was pretty excited for the weekend and drinking Sex On The Beach cocktails!!! So as planned we started off with the cocktails and then headed to a curry house and drank white wine, note-to-self never ask for house white wine in a curry house as it arrives in a fish bowl with no label and looks likes a urine sample from the doctors and funnily enough tastes like one!!!
Anyway less of that…The night was going well until it come to drinking shots time, Sambuka shots yes, Absinthe shots big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
My first experience with Absinthe was when i was 18 and sat in bar, i had my cocky head on and believed that i could drink anything, i mean it couldn’t be much stronger than my blue WKD that i was drinking! Ok that’s what i thought at the time and o how wrong i was! I knocked the shot back in one and the next thing i know i was leaning over the bar struggerling to breathe and violently being sick, all that in the space of 5 seconds! Classy! Since my ever so embarrassing experience i have purposely stayed clear of Absinthe on a night out and have no intensions of ever drinking the dreaded poison again!
That’s why on Saturday when my mates got a round of Absinthe in i proudly rejected and watched in horror as they downed there shot. There faces said it all when they finished and so did there behaviour, if you want to pull your crazy ex who will not leave you alone, who you have been trying to avoid for months then Absinthe will make you think there Megan Fox and you will be straight in there arms again…well until the alcohol is out of your blood stream, that’s what happened to one of the guys i was out with on Saturday and another one spent the rest of the night lay on a bathroom floor with there head in the toilet, nice!!!
So if you want my opinion i think your bloody crazy if you drink Absinthe and if you have never tried it before don’t try now as you are not missing out! I love shots like Sambuka, Tequila and After Shock and these are all pretty harsh but they taste like water compared to Absinthe.
If you have had any bad experience with Absinthe let us know?????

It’s Friday and i am sooo excited that the week is nearly over and it is now time to play! My taste buds do like to sample a drink or two on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
For tonight i am only having a couple so i have bought 3 bottles of wine from Sainsbury’s for £10.00…really that’s how cheap the wine is in there at the moment!
Tomorrow is the night that i am really looking forward for as i have my drinking partner in crime coming over so in true tradition we will be mixing cocktails to get the night started. As the weather is meant to be sunny there is nothing more refreshing than a Sex On The Beach cocktail and its easy to make and doesn’t take much to perfect the drink.
See below for how to make the most delish cocktail:
Ingredients –
Vodka
Peach schnapps
Cranberry juice
Grapefruit juice
Orange slice
Crushed Ice
Make sure you also have a highball glass and pink straws and a mini straw umbrella!
Now the fun part…firstly fill the glass with crushed ice then pour the vodka and peach schnapps into the glass until you get halfway (that’s my measurements anyway you might want to make it weaker!) then pour in the cranberry juice and finish with the grapefruit juice and stir! To finish off drop in the orange slice and don’t forget the umbrella and straw!
Enjoy!!!
