Blood Orange Negroni
I love Negronis and when I saw this I got so excited and just had to try it. It’s essentially a variation on the Americano.
- 25ml Campari
- 25ml gin
- 25ml sweet vermouth
- blood orange soda
- Think slice of orange to garnish
Pour the Campari, gin and vermouth into a glass filled with ice and stir. Then top up with the blood orange soda and stir again, then garnish.
Mimosa – Bucks Fizz
A classic celebratory drink that is acceptable at all times of the day and night…
You just can’t go wrong when you mix Champagne and orange juice. Mimosas are timeless and undeniably delicious.
Simply mix orange juice with champagne to your required strength, we recommend 30ml orange juice topped up with champagne in a champagne flute.
These are just few that we’ll be sipping along side all that chocolate and we hope to get you thinking and exploring whats in your drinks cupboard this Easter. Have a great bank holiday and let us know what you’re drinking by tagging us in your photos @tastecocktails.
