3. Negroni sbagliato

If a negroni is your cocktail of choice, try our bubbly highball version. Our negroni sbagliato is topped up with prosecco instead of gin – in Italian, 'sbagliato' means 'mistake', as this drink is said to be the result of a busy bartender grabbing a bottle of sparkling wine rather than gin. After tasting one, we're sure you'll agree it's a happy accident.

4. Kir royale

Even the most hopeless of mixologists can manage our super-simple kir royale. Just add a dash of crème de cassis to your favourite champagne for a sweet blackberry flavour. For a fun twist, try our icy kir, which includes a scoop of bright berry sorbet for extra decadence.

5. Chocolate vodka shots

Nothing says indulgence quite like our chocolate vodka shots, topped with squares of chocolate for a little extra decadence. Mix chocolate hazelnut spread with boozy liqueur and a splash of vodka. Want something a little more savoury? Try our spiced bloody mary shots – they're a delicious starter or a pre-dinner drink.

6. Passion fruit martini

No celebration would be complete without our easy passion fruit martini. Add vanilla vodka for subtle sweetness and passoa – a passion fruit liqueur – for a burst of fresh, zingy flavour. Make our simple sugar syrup in advance, then store in the fridge.
