Strawberries & Cream Delight
If you're looking for something Extra AF to wow your guests this Jubilee weekend, look no further.
Everything about this delicious cocktail screams quintessential British. With the yummy complimentary flavours of strawberries and cream, decorated with fresh summer strawberries, indulgent whipped cream and of course... English Scones with Jam... this really is a showstopper.

- 50ml Whipped Cream or Vanilla Vodka
- 25ml Strawberry Liqueur (we used Bols)

Instructions
- Squeeze strawberry sauce around the inside of your glass and fill with ice.
- Add your whipped cream or vanilla vodka, strawberry liqueur, strawberry syrup and a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the glass and gently but thoroughly stir.
- Fill with cream soda, then top with whipped cream and decorate with a fresh strawberry and a jammed scone. Go all out with blue and red sprinkles and a mini union jack flag, or whatever else takes your fancy to make this drink look incredible!
Pimms-tini
What could be more British than a glass of Pimms on a hot Summer's day? It's a classic, and impossible to dislike. We wanted to try something a little different though, so have created a Pimms-Tini. With the same fruity and midly spiced flavour you'd expect from a glass of Pimms, but a dash more sophistication. Give your guests something to smile about with these delicious cocktails.
Ingredients (per drink)
- 25ml Pimms
- 25ml Gin
- 15ml Simple Syrup
- Juice of 1/2 a lime
- Mint, cucumber and strawberries to garnish
- Ice
Combine the Pimms, gin, syrup and lime juice in a shaker with Ice. Shake vigorously until ice cold. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a slice of cucumber, a strawberry and some mint leaves.
