Okay, so we can agree that the weather has well and truly gone south this summer. But that’s no reason not to ditch all the other fun summery things from our weekends. My advice: if you can’t do the barbeque thing, shift indoors to a cool location and keep the party pumping.
My pick of the week are these super-cool (literally) Absolut Vodka Carafes. And not it’s not just the container I’m talking about here. Absolut has come up with eight tempting cocktail recipes that can be served in said carafes around the country at selected locations.
Here is the line-up of concoctions:
South Side (Absolut vodka, elderflower cordial. Lemon juice, soda water, plus fresh mint of seasonal fruit)
Midnight Sun (Absolute Peach, Malibu, orange juice, cranberry juice, blueberries and orange wheels)
Pish Posh (Absolut Pears, chamomile syrup, cloudy apple juice, fresh mint and lemon wedges)
Cosmo (Absolut Citron, orange liqueur, cranberry juice and orange wheels)
Iced Tea (Absolut Citron, Limoncello, iced tea, orange and lemon wheels)
Bloody (Absolut vodka or Absolut 100, tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, tobacco sauce and salt & pepper)
Berri Good Times (Absolut Acai, red wine, ginger ale, orange juice, cranberry juice, blueberries)
