White Russian
The White Russian is a luxurious and indulgent cocktail that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. The combination of vodka, Kahlua, and heavy cream creates a rich and creamy texture that is both smooth and decadent. Each sip is a heavenly blend of flavors, with the Kahlua providing a hint of coffee-infused sweetness and the heavy cream adding a velvety richness.
Some variations of the White Russian may use milk or half and half (milk and cream in equal measure) in place of the heavy cream or may omit the cream entirely for a lighter drink, also known as a Black Russian.

Pina Colada
The Piña Colada is a tropical escape in a glass, a staple Tiki classic, and a pop culture icon. This sweet and exquisitely creamy cocktail, a flavourful blend of pineapple juice, coconut cream, and white rum, was immortalized in the 1978 hit song "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes. The song was a chart-topper and helped to cement the Piña Colada in the history books as the go-to tropical classic.
Pineapple juice gives the drink a sweet and fruity flavor, while coconut cream lends a thick, creamy texture. White rum adds a delightfully boozy kick to the drink making it the perfect choice for a relaxing, lazy afternoon on holiday or for a night out (or in!) with friends. Traditionally they are blended with ice to create a frozen and slushy consistency, but you can just as easily shake them up and pour over ice in a hurricane glass. Garnished with a pineapple wedge or a cherry to add a pop of colour and a tropical touch to the drink.
Next time you want to escape the daily routine and take a mini-vacation, grab a Piña Colada and let the flavors transport you to a tropical paradise, just like in the song. Some variations of the Pina Colada may also include additional ingredients such as lime juice or grenadine for added flavor, but the original recipe remains the most classic and the most loved.

Strawberry Shortcake
The Strawberry Shortcake is a creamy cocktail that combines the refreshing sweetness of strawberries with the richness of amaretto, all blended together with velvety vanilla ice cream. This creates a celebration of flavors and textures, perfect for those warm, sunny days or whenever you need a little taste of summertime bliss.
The Strawberry Shortcake begins with a homemade strawberry puree, which you can make easily by blending strawberries and caster sugar in a 6:1 ratio by weight, or a double shot of a simply made Strawberry flavoured syup you can also make at home.
It is then blended with 2 generous scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream, providing an indulgent base that balances the sweetness of the strawberries. Finally, a shot of amaretto liqueur brings a delightful nuttiness and warmth to the mix, adding depth and complexity to this delightful libation.
As you take a sip, let the luscious blend of fruity, creamy, and almond notes dance on your taste buds, creating a symphony of flavors that leaves you craving for more.
