There's snow better way to chill your vodka this time of year.. ;)
We were recently gifted some of the Vodka range and really enjoying playing around with it in Xmas cocktails. Here's a drink that started out with the aim of recreating a classic Norwegian Christmas staple: Grรธt.
Essentially a rich and creamy warm rice pudding, this is traditionally served on Christmas eve with a single almond hidden in the bowl as a prize for those who find it.

We've taken the base elements of this dessert and made a Xmas Vodka Sour twist that's both refreshing and cosy!
๐ŸŽ…๐ŸšSanta's Grรธtto๐Ÿš๐ŸŽ…
50ml Brewdog Seven Day Vodka
15ml Homemade Cinnamon Orgeat
100ml Glutinous Brown Rice Punch
1/2 Muddled Clementine
Muddle clementine then add all ingredients to tin and stir down with ice. Strain over ice block and dust with cinnamon.
This would probably also work really well as a milk punch with the addition of double cream; one to try in future.

The inspiration for our second entry into the Ice Ice Baby competition was to create a twist on the classic Bittenbender cocktail from . The original drink is topped with ch*****ne which we've substituted with Sunuvabooch kombucha to keep the dry finish with added fruit notes. The diamond ice cube is a nod to both the clarity of the ice and the craft of cocktail making.

๐Ÿ’Ž Bittenbender Twist ๐Ÿ’Ž

4 raspberries
Lemon peel
Orange peel
50ml Woodford Reserve Bourbon
20ml Cacao Nib Infused Campari
20ml Lemon Juice
20ml Ginger Syrup

Method:

Muddle first three ingredients then strain over hand carved ice diamond and top with 25ml Raspberry and Blue Cornflowerย Sunuvabooch Kombucha.

This Kombucha is so GOOD! We we're kindly given a bottle after a visit to where its made small batch by the lovely Kassidy ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’•

For our entry to the 'Ice Ice Baby' competition, we decided to highlight the clean citrus notes in an lemon martini. Filling the Jazz Coupe perfectly, this handcarved clear ice block melts much slower than normal ice due to its purity, meaning the martini stays ice ice cold!

Huge thanks to and for an incredible evening last night to taste the new Port Cask finish ๐Ÿฅƒ

We often joke that St. Remy is the only Brandy we use in our Sazeracs and other classic cocktails and there's absolutely a reason for that. Not only is it a delight to sip, but the versatility of .cecile's finishes are second to none. The latest expermient in the range is the Port Cask finish, full of dry fruit, coffee, honey and roasted nut flavours. Autumn in a bottle ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ’•

We had the pleasure of stopping by the HUGE new venue at Waterloo, and loved trying the best new speakeasy in town . With the inimitable at the helm, you know the drinks were incredible! Head on down there now for some of the most inventive drinks you will drink this year. Just head to the phone booth and ring for service! ๐Ÿค™

It's is WARM today ๐Ÿ˜จ๐ŸŒž Moved flat recently so still have a lot of alcohol and glassware in storage which is why we were extra grateful to receive two goodies from the awesome - the PERFECT salve for a very very sunny day!

First up is the Bramble: Scottish Gin, Lemon, Blackberry, Gooseberries.

A good measure of fine Scottish Gin with botanicals from Lost Loch distillery in Royal Deeside, freshly squeezed lemon juice and Scottish blackberries from Blairgowrie; finished off with Scottish Gooseberries that balance the cocktail with beautiful sweet and sour notes.

Next is a Scottish saline Old Fashioned: Speyside Wh**ky, Bitters, Honey Flavour, Sea Tangle

A strong measure of fine Blended Malt Scotch Wh**ky from Speyside: light and smooth with a hint of oakiness. Herbal botanical bitters help to balance, alongside orange to add citrus. Natural honey flavouring brings a richer, sweeter taste, and lastly, Scottish Sea Tangle from the East Neuk of Fife giving a salty finish.

Head to and give these lovely drinks a taste ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ

It's not all alcohol...โ˜•
If we're not drinking cocktails, chances are we're nerding out over proper coffee. Yes, it's insufferable but have you tried going back to instant after a properly brewed V60?! Ugh honey NO thank you!
Arguably one of our absolute favourite coffee haunts is the beautiful in Brighton where Ralph is currently based for a few weeks. Every damn coffee we've had here is great and the speciality range changes regularly so you're pretty spoilt for choice.
ALSO, did we mention the Biscoff tiffin? ๐Ÿ˜
Head here if you're in the Lanes, get the Batch Brew and watch the world go by ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿปโ˜•โค
