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.

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.

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

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

Ingredients:
- Orange slices
- Watermelons slices
- Pineapple slices
- Lime slices
