As we are all trying to be positive, we would like to think this is our new normal and we have to start making the most of it.

I am sure we all miss partying, meeting friends and drink amazing cocktails, therefore we decided to look at the most easy cocktails so you can still enjoy them at home. 

1. SANGRIA 

This is one of my favourites drink whenever I travel to the sunny Spain.

It is very easy to prepare and has just 6 ingredients which I am sure we all have this at home.
 
PREP TIME - 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 medium apple (cored, skin on, chopped into small pieces)
  • 1/2 medium orange (rind on, sliced into small pieces, large seeds removed // plus more for garnish)
  • 3-4 Tbsp or honey or brown sugar 
  • Grapes 
  • 3/4 cup orange juice or Lemon lime soda 
  • 1/3 cup brandy (plus more to taste)
  • 750 ml bottle dry Spanish red wine*
  • ~1 cup Ice to chill

2. MIMOSA 

Well, Mimosas reminds me to my usual Sunday brunches with my girlfriends... 

So today I decided to have a bottomless brunch at home, of course on my own haha 

PREP TIME - 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 medium orange (rind on, sliced into small pieces, large seeds removed // plus more for garnish)
  • Strawberry slices  
  • 1/3 cup Vodka (plus more to taste)
  • 1 bottle champagne or Prosecco, chilled
  • 1L freshly squeezed orange juice, chilled

3. STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI

To be honest, this drink is one of my favourites!! The problem now on days is that some bars prefer to use syrup instead of fresh strawberries which is quite disappointing because the taste and the consistency its so different :(.

If you live in Dublin I can recommend you to try the Strawberry Daiquiri from @porterhouse ... the best one I've ever tried.

PREP TIME - 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 scoops ice
  • 100g caster sugar/ syrup
  • 110g frozen strawberries
  • Grenadine (for colour)
  • 180ml rum

Instructions

4. MARGARITA SALAD -FISHBOWL

OK, so basically whenever I think about margaritas I always remember @Xico ... I just got a little sentiment there, missing that place so much!! 

PREP TIME - 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Orange slices
  • Watermelons slices
  • Pineapple slices
  • Lime slices
  • Tequila
  • Triple Sec 
  • Orange juice
