Sip sip hooray...it's World Cocktail Day

Friday the 13th might have other more sinister connotations to it but on a lighter note apparently it is also World Cocktail Day.

When I think of cocktails, I tend to imagine them being drunk by beautiful people in swanky nightclubs in glitzy places like New York or Paris.

Sometimes the thought of a zingy Margarita or a frothy Daiquiri can transport me to exotic beach locations in far flung corners of the globe. Rarely do I envisage myself sipping a fancy cocktail in my living room watching the telly on a Friday night.

However…

In addition to the vast choice of wines from all over the world that are available on our supermarket shelves, there now seems to be a growing selection of cocktails to add to our trollies during the weekly shop. And you don’t even need to be a mixologist either. Many of the exotic concoctions that we see on cocktail menus in bars and restaurants now come pre-mixed and ready to serve. It seems someone has gone to the trouble of shaking and stirring for us.

I’m not usually a fan of spirits or sweet drinks but one or two have caught my eye recently and I have to say, they do make a refreshing change – especially on sunny days.

Nothing says summer like berries and cream - try the limited edition Baileys Eton Mess liqueur. With delicious flavours of creamy meringue and summer berries, it’s like summer in a bottle!

Be one of the first to get your hands on this delicious new drink from Baileys, a delightful twist on Eton Mess - the classic summer dessert.

The limited-edition Baileys Eton Mess is a fine way to treat yourself this summer, with seasonal flavours of strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry. So, make sure you get your hands on Baileys Eton Mess soon. Once it’s gone, it’s gone - and this is one summer treat you won’t want to miss.

Baileys Eton Mess is available at Costco and Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, Sainsburys, Waitrose

Or, for a tropical twist on your weekend G&T, why not try the new Gordon’s Tropical Passionfruit Distilled Gin - the newest addition to the award-winning range of gins from Gordon’s.

Another fruity delight that is launching just in time for spring is Gordon’s Morello Cherry Distilled Gin another addition to the award-winning range of gins from Gordon’s, boasting classic juniper notes and the delicious flavour of Morello cherries to tantalise your tastebuds.
