ESPECIALLY ON THIS VALENTINE'S DAY.

Charlie’s Classic Cocktails is a brand I am sure we will be hearing more about. This new luxury cocktail merchant offers hand crafted ready to serve classics in gift boxes fashioned by Charlie himself complete with his unique Signature Spritz garnish which leaves out the need for mixing, shaking or stirring.
All the cocktails use premium brands and especially for Valentine’s Day come a collection that marries the spirit of romance with the excitement of the Bond films. Under the guise of #OneSharpNight, the collection includes four takes on the iconic Martini: a classic Gin Martini, Vodka Martini, Vesper and an indulgent Dirty Martini.
As an avid Martini drinker and having sampled these world-wide I can only say Mr Bond would certainly approve.

Want a low alcohol cocktail then why not try this recipe from Black Tower. Fruity and icy, you just need a bottle of Black Tower B5.5% Rose and it makes a delicious slushie for grownups. You can get 4 to 6 cocktails from this recipe.
Ingredients: 1 Bottle of Black Tower B5.5% Rose, 300g strawberries, 50g caster sugar, the juice of a lemon.
Pour the bottle of rose into a deep dish or baking tin and carefully put it in the freezer. You can split it into two if you don’t want to use all at one go and half the recipe quantities.
Next day mix the strawberries with the sugar and leave to sit for 30 minutes until the strawberries come a big juice.
Blend the frozen Rose, strawberries, sugar and lemon juice together, then divide into wine glasses and enjoy.
