TGIF!

At last it is Friday.  This has been a long week.  I think it is time to cap it off with a little after week drink.   How about a cocktail, or even a mocktail?  Sound nice?

If you need a little inspiration then Tonic Gifts has a great book for you.  “Award-winning bartender and bestselling author Ben Reed brings you an indispensable collection of recipes, from the delectable Vodkatini to a mouthwatering Bellini. Impress your guests with a tray of ice-cold Margaritas or beat that hangover with a spicy Bloody Mary.”

If you prefer the non-alcoholic drinks then here are some great ideas for mocktails.  Present them as you would a cocktail and they will fit the occasion beautifully.

Pink Lady.

1 1/2 c Milk
2 tb Lemon juice
1 tb Grenadine
1 tb Sugar, granulated
6 Ice cubes
Combine all the ingredients, blend well, and serve over ice.

Peach Mocktail

Crushed ice
60ml Peach nectar
80ml soda water

Place a scoop of ice in the glass then top with the other ingredients. (from Taste magazine)

When your night has ended it will be time for a soothing Bath Cocktail.   What a great thought.  These are available from Beauty Banquet as a limited edition and they look really cute.

They are full of Midori scented bath salts and they come complete with cocktail shaker and a cocktail recipe for you to try. 

So off you go.  Grab your drink and end the week well.  Have a great weekend!
