Frangelina
Whether you admire her or think otherwise, you can’t deny Angelina Jolie is committed to her children. Her dedication and an opportunity to cornily combine her name with a hazelnut liqueur caused us to dedicate this cocktail to a standout mother.
It is so yum you won’t believe it. Then you’ll need another to make sure.
Recipients: Lovers of sweet aroma. Not for those prone to skulling drinks. Frangelina is deceptively strong.
Type: Shaken
Read MoreFresh Shot – Strawberry
This is the first of our Fresh Shot range of recipes. We like to have these as shooters.
But sometimes we don’t want to buy a whole bottle of liqueur for one cocktail. With a few common ingredients you can whip this up and use it in your strawberry daiquiri, Strawberry Sour or over ice cream.
Because this contains fresh strawberry it cannot keep like liqueur. However, it can be kept for a week in the freezer. I’m not sure if it lasts longer as I’ve never had it that long. Hehehehe!
Recipients: Newly arrived guests. Welcoming them with a shot sets the pace for the rest of the visit.
Type: Shot
Read MoreOld Codger
This is our unsophisticated, easier drinking version of the popular, classic, finicky drink, Old Fashioned. It is so easy drinking you can use lower shelf all the way to underground bourbon.
Admittedly, this is not a beautiful looking drink. But it tastes great, drink after drink, even to people who don’t ordinarily drink bourbon, like us.
Recipients: People who need bourbon conversion that can handle their alcohol
Read MoreGin Fusion
A combination of gin and fruit tea infusion results in fresh, old school type cocktail.
We created this drink especially for Maya from Faraaz Tea. It uses their Fruit Tea. It’s the tea infusion that provides the rich red colour.
Faraaz Teas can be purchased online here.

Read MoreFab Ferreira
This is Fab. It does the job well and looks even better, just like it’s namesake. This cocktail is named after a football player a few of us follow, Fabio Ferreira. It is quite sweet, a bit salty and exotic. Saude!
Please try it. It is a revelation.
Recipients: Those that like eye catching glamour and really nice drinks.
Type: Shaken
