6 Cocktails Perfect for Easter

This year the weather looks set to be beautiful over the Easter bank holiday, so why not indulge in a cocktail or two before you dive into those Easter eggs?! Whether you love gin or vodka, or whiskey or rum, there is a cocktail waiting for you to try.

For the Gin Lover: Royal Tea Cocktail

This may well be our favourite cocktail in the guide as it combines two well-loved drinky treats all in one delicious cocktail; gin and tea! Super easy to mix up and so refreshing, this really is the perfect cocktail to mix up during a lazy Easter Sunday.

Ingredients
45ml London Dry Gin
60ml chilled, freshly brewed Earl Grey tea
1 splash lemon juice to taste
1 tsp sugar to taste
Garnish with a lemon wheel

Method
Pour the gin and chilled Earl Grey tea into an Old Fashioned glass filled with ice and add the lemon juice and sugar to taste. Stir well, garnish with a lemon wheel and enjoy!

For the Whiskey Lover: Whiskey Daisy

A favourite among whiskey lovers, this cocktail has many variations all of which are as easy to whip up as the next. The smokiness of the whiskey in this particular version combines beautifully with the complex flavours of the orange liqueur and the lemon juice and syrup tie all the flavours together perfectly leading to a cocktail you will be coming back for more of!

Ingredients
60ml (Smoky) Bourbon whiskey
30ml lemon juice
7.5ml simple syrup
15ml Grand Marnier
Sparkling water/club soda 

Method
Pour the whiskey, Grand Marnier, lemon juice and syrup into a cocktail shaker. Add crushed ice and shake for 30 seconds until the shaker is cold to touch. Strain the chilled ingredients into a cocktail glass and top up with a splash of soda!

N.B. the whiskey will be the main stand out flavour in this cocktail so make sure you choose a premium one.

For the Champagne lover: French 77

It’s light, it’s refreshing, it’s floral and it’s sparkling… it truly is the perfect drink to enjoy at your Easter party.

Ingredients
30ml St. Germain
7.5ml lemon juice
120ml Champagne
Lemon twist for garnish 

Method
Pour the St. Germain and lemon juice into a flute, top up with champagne and garnish with a lemon twist. Simple!

N.B. It is best to use a Brut champagne because of the elderflower liqueur’s sweetness. If you find the elderflower to be too sweet, lessen the amount you add to the cocktail until you find the right balance for you.

For the Tequila Lover: Paloma

Refreshing and so easy to make the earthy flavours of the tequila blend beautifully with the tartness of the grapefruit for an Easter cocktail that is bound to be a big crowd pleaser.

Ingredients
60ml Tequila
15ml freshly squeezed lime juice
Grapefruit soda
Lime wedge to garnish 

Method
Add the tequila and lime juice to the glass and fill it with ice. Top it off with the grapefruit soda stirring gently to combine, garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy!

For the Rum Lover: Old Cuban Cocktail

Luxurious, minty and downright delicious, this cocktail was only invented in the early 2000s and is already a firm favourite of cocktail enthusiasts. It takes inspiration from the Mojito, with added complexity from the bitters all wrapped in a delicious champagne scarf. There truly is nothing not to like about it!

Ingredients
4 fresh mint leaves
45ml Havana Club 7yo rum
22.5ml freshly squeezed lime juice
15ml Monin Pure Cane Sugar Syrup
2 dashes of Angostura Aromatic Bitters
22.5ml Champagne
Garnish with a mint leaf. 

Method
Shake the mint leaves, rum, lime juice, sugar syrup and bitters in a cocktail shaker with ice. Then, strain into a chilled coupe glass before topping with champagne and garnishing with a mint leaf.

N.B. The sparkling wine used here really makes a difference so if you are not a big fan of the champagne version, try mixing it up with prosecco or crémant instead. Prosecco will bring more fruit to the cocktail whereas the crémant will give a drier flavour.

For the Vodka Lover: Chocolate Martini

Rich, creamy and downright indulgent, this is a chocoholics delight. We couldn’t complete our Easter cocktail guide without a cheeky chocolate cocktail now could we?!

Ingredients
50ml Irish Cream Liqueur
50ml Chocolate liqueur (Godiva)
100ml vodka 

Method
Combine all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well until the outside of the shaker is cold to touch. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with shaved chocolate. NOM!

The Best Old Fashioned Variations

Crowned the most popular cocktail in the world, the Old Fashioned is loved by many, and whilst it can’t be denied that the traditional recipe is an absolute cracker, there are many variations of it that, in our honest opinion, are just as good. So, without further ado let us introduce you to some of our favourite takes on an Old Fashioned.

The Traditional Old Fashioned

A timeless classic. The Old Fashioned cocktail has been around since the mid-1800s and is still just as popular today as it was back then.

Ingredients
60ml rye whiskey
1 sugar cube
3 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange peel to garnish
Maraschino cherry to garnish

Method
Place the sugar cube in a tumbler and dash the bitters on top of it. Muddle to mix. Add the whiskey, fill the glass with ice, and stir for 30 seconds to combine. Twist the orange peel over the drink before putting it into the glass. Add the cherry garnish and you're done!

Rum Old Fashioned

A great take on an Old Fashioned, the dark rum provides oaky notes which work beautifully with the zestiness from the bitters.

Ingredients
50ml dark rum
1 tsp sugar syrup
2 dashes Angostura orange bitters
Orange peel to garnish

Method
Put all the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir until the glass feels cold. Strain into a tumbler over a large ice cube and garnish with the orange peel.

Tequila Old Fashioned

Smooth and savoury, it is an utterly delicious Old Fashioned variation. The aged Añejo tequila provides oaky notes, spice and flavours of roasted agave. YUM!

Ingredients
60 ml Añejo tequila
7.5 ml Simple syrup
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Orange peel to garnish

Method
Add the tequila, simple syrup and bitters to a tumbler with a big ice cube and stir well for around 30 seconds to combine. Garnish with the orange peel.

Gin Old Fashioned

Another great take on an Old Fashioned the Old Tom gin adds a less botanical, sweeter flavour to the cocktail than a London dry gin would while the orange bitters and lemon add a nice citrusy twist.

Ingredients
60ml Old Tom gin
7.5ml simple syrup
2 dashes of orange bitters
Lemon peel to garnish

Method
Add the simple syrup, bitters, and gin in a tumbler with ice and stir for 30 seconds to combine. Garnish with lemon peel and enjoy!

Maple Old Fashioned

Sweet and smooth, the maple brings out the warm, rich, caramel-y flavors in the bourbon perfectly.

Ingredients
60ml Bourbon whiskey
10ml Maple Syrup
2 dash Angostura bitters
Crispy bacon, for garnish

Method
Put the ingredients into a tumbler with ice and stir well to combine. Garnish with a 1/2 slice of crispy bacon. Top Tip: You can substitute the bourbon for rum here to make an equally good maple rum Old Fashioned.

Honey Old Fashioned

Good for someone just getting into whisky, this variation is lighter and sweeter than a traditional old fashioned but just as delicious!

Ingredients
60ml Scotch whisky
15ml honey syrup (1 part honey to 1 part water)
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
2 dashes of orange bitters

Method
Add the whisky, honey syrup, and bitters into a tumbler with ice and stir for about 30 seconds until well combined and chilled. Garnish with an orange peel twist.

Warm Old Fashioned

Perfect for chilly days this cocktail has the same great taste as the classic Old Fashioned and could even rival a Hot Toddy in our opinion!

Ingredients
60ml Bourbon whiskey
1 sugar cube
3 dashes Angostura bitters
1 x Orange slice
1 x Maraschino cherry
60ml hot (not boiling) water

Method
Muddle the sugar cube, bitters, orange slice and Maraschino cherry in a mixing glass. Add the whiskey and mix well then strain into a glass mug. Top up with around 60ml of hot water and enjoy!

The Best Cocktail Terraces in London

The sun is (finally) coming out and summer cocktail terraces are starting to bloom. Whether you like your alfresco drinks skyscraping and swish, or garden-fringed and intimate, grab your sunnies, gather your mates and book off the afternoon. We’re heading out for cocktails at these must-visit London terraces.  

Bingham Riverhouse

*Technically* this is in Surrey – elegant Richmond, to be exact – but this terrace is definitely worth the extra few minutes on the District Line. An extension of Bingham’s chic (and utterly delicious) restaurant from MasterChef-winning chef Steven Edwards, the intimate strip looks out to lawns and the River Thames, so you can watch boats slink past as you sip. Order a Jalapeno’s Negroni – the perfect smoky-spicy blend of mezcal, Cocchi red vermouth and jalapeño-infused Campari – then follow up with a Laurent Perrier-topped Blackberry Royal, made with the Bingham garden’s rosemary. There’s no need to wobble home after; Bingham’s elegant hotel rooms, with copper baths and sustainable La-Eva toiletries, are dreamy crash pads. Rise for morning bellinis and hangover-busting aromatherapy massages at Bhuti spa.

Native at Brown’s

If you’re seeking a full-on garden terrace vibe, you could do far worse than this central London restaurant. Coddled by rows of lush ferns, and towering trees, if feels the perfect spot to sip a cocktail bursting with foraged flavours – exactly what Native majors in. In a spin on a classic Amaretto Sour, the Meadowsweet Sour uses foraged meadowsweet flowers. The Seasonal Spritz, meanwhile, comes with a dash of zingy sea buckthorn. Cocktails are shaken up with sustainability in mind, too. The espresso martini is made with waste coffee grounds, as well as locally sourced East London Liquor Co vodka.

Fortnum & Mason Royal Exchange, Bank

As we’ve all been pushed outdoors by pandemic dining, some amazing drinking spaces have popped up as a result, including this previously underused patch of pavement outside the Royal Exchange. Sandwiched spectacularly between Cornhill and Threadneedle Street, the terrace at Fortnum & Mason Royal Exchange lets you take in the epic, chiselled panoramas of Bank – a quintessential London scene – over a dry martini or, if you prefer something lighter, a glass of pink Fortnum’s own fizz. Visit in late afternoon, when it’s washed in sunshine, and you won’t want to budge until closing time at 11pm.

Book Here

Hicce

Set on the vast open space by Coal Drop’s Yard, just off Regent’s Canal, Hicce is the pick for when you want a big buzzy terrace vibe, but top-quality drinks too. Book in with a bunch of friends, grab a seat in the sun, and work through the innovative list: Matchagras (shiso leaf-infused Tanqueray, matcha, lemongrass and aquafaba); Hibilep (pandan leaf-infused Bulleit bourbon with hibiscus and pomegranate); Beetarita (mezcal, cherry liqueur, lime, beetroot juice). There’s a brilliant wine selection for your crowd to tackle too, with a raft of skin-contact whites and low-intervention reds.

Nest, Treehouse London

If you’re anything like us, after braving the throngs of Oxford Street you’ll be in serious need of a drink. Enter Nest: a skyscraping bar just a few minutes’ walk away, perched at the top of Treehouse hotel, with views sweeping across the capital. Drop your shopping bags and order a Botanical Sour – gin, elderflower, coriander, vermouth and citrus – or a Bee Sting (Calvados, Beesou, honey, banana and citrus). Some time slots incur a minimum spend, so be sure to choose an hour that suits you budget. And, when booking, ask for a comfy sofa seat on the west side – the sun floods it in the afternoons.

The Best Margarita Variations

Words by Ana Patterson

Today, you are not just learning about cocktails – you are learning about life. You’ll be introduced to a mixture so influential and so great; it can be described as when life truly began.

“But what was it?” we hear you cry

“The collision of matter and anti-matter to create everything in existence?” Nope.

“The formation of H2O?” Not that.

“The primordial soup containing the earliest forms of life?” Wrong, wrong, and wrong again.

The most influential mixture in history was obviously when tequila, lime and Cointreau came together to form the cocktail to reign all cocktails: the magnificent margarita. So come in close, grab a shaker and a healthy amount of ice and let’s explore some brilliant margarita variations, from the classic to the experimental!

Classic Margarita

You know what they say, you can’t go wrong with a classic – especially when it comes to cocktails. The classic margarita is a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and punchy - a summer favourite but perfect for any time of the year. Often, margaritas are served with a salted rim, though this can take away from the lip smacking flavours of the tequila, so try it without! Here’s a classic recipe, which you should 100% commit to memory:

Ingredients

50ml blanco tequila
25ml fresh lime juice
25ml Cointreau
lime wedge for garnish 

Method
Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Shake for about 30 seconds until chilled. Strain everything into a margarita glass. Add plenty of ice and garnish with a wedge of lime.

Spicy Margarita

This is the cocktail. However hard you try, once you’ve had a Picante, no margarita will ever taste the same again. Spicy, sweet with a WHOOSH of reposado tequila – this delight is a Tommy’s margarita with the addition of chili. Knocking up a few of these will guarantee a great night in.

Ingredients

 50ml reposado tequila
25ml fresh lime juice
20ml agave nectar
2 slices of chili to muddle
slices of chili to garnish

Method
Add the chili slices to a cocktail shaker and muddle. Add the rest of the ingredients along with some ice and shake for 30 seconds until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over large ice cubes and garnish with the chili slices.

Hibiscus Margarita

If you love a pretty cocktail, you’ll love the hibiscus margarita. The vibrant magenta of the hibiscus syrup is a brilliant contrast with the lime wheel, and it tastes great too! Though it might seem a little exotic, you can get your hands on hibiscus syrup pretty easily – so pick some up and try it!

Ingredients

50ml blanco tequila
25ml fresh lime juice
25ml Cointreau
25ml hibiscus syrup (we like Monin)
lime wheel for the garnish 

Method
Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Shake for 30 seconds until chilled. Strain into a margarita glass and garnish with a lime wheel. Enjoy!

Blood Orange Margarita

As we know, the margarita is all about tang – but what about some bitterness? This blood orange margarita is not only beautiful to look at, but the blood orange juice works brilliantly against the tequila and makes for a tongue-tingling drink. This cocktail tastes great with a sugared rim to contrast the bitterness of the blood orange, but feel free to omit it if that’s not your style!

Ingredients

 50ml blanco tequila
50ml blood orange juice
25ml fresh lime juice
15ml agave nectar
caster sugar
blood orange wedge
blood orange wheel for garnish 

Method
Run a blood orange wedge around half the rim of a rocks glass and dip the rim in caster sugar. Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake for 30 seconds until chilled. Strain into the glass over ice and garnish with a blood orange wheel.

Tommy’s Margarita

Though fairly similar to a classic margarita, the Tommy’s margarita is a super popular (and super tasty) variation. The most notable difference is the absence of orange liqueur, instead swapping it out for some agave nectar. Some argue that this deduction disavows the Tommy’s margarita of its margarita status – but who cares when it’s this good?!

Ingredients

50ml blanco tequila
25ml fresh lime juice
12.5ml agave nectar 

Method
Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake for 30 seconds until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over ice and enjoy!

Smoky Margarita

If you’re after something a bit moodier and closer to a dark spirits cocktail, you might want to check out the smoky margarita. Instead of the typical blanco tequila used for a classic margarita, this cocktail uses a mixture of aged ‘añejo’ tequila and super smoky mezcal. It’s dark, it’s moody and its perfect for sipping in the corner of a candlelit room.

Ingredients

25ml añejo tequila
25ml mezcal
30ml Cointreau
25ml lime juice
lime wedge
smoked salt for garnish
lime wheel for garnish 

Method
Run a wedge of lime around half of the rim of a rocks glass. Dip the rim in smoked salt. Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake for 30 seconds until chilled. Strain into the glass over ice and garnish with a lime wheel.

Three Scotch Whisky Cocktails for Burns Night

Burns night is upon us! 25th of January is the birthday of Scotland’s own ‘Shakespeare’: Robert ‘Rabbie’ Burns. This ‘Scottish bard’ was responsible for many books and poems including Auld Lang Syne. He is celebrated every year on this date, usually by eating Haggis with neeps and tatties and drinking Scotch whisky in some form, while his words are read out before the meal to ‘address the Haggis’. Here are three great Scotch whisky cocktails to try on Burns night 2022.

The Rob Roy

Rob Roy (full name Robert MacGregor ) was an infamous, red-headed, Highland outlaw with a reputation as the  Scottish Robin Hood. His fame was fanned by  Sir Walter Scott’s novel Rob Roy in 1818 and in the poems of William Wordsworth. This cocktail exists however because it was dreamed up at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan by a barman to celebrate the opening of the Rob Roy operetta in 1984. 

Ingredients

50ml Scotch Whisky (I’m using Glen Marnoch Highland Single Malt - £16.99 from Aldi)

30ml Sweet Vermouth

Dash Angostura bitters

Method

Pour all ingredients into a mixing glass with ice, stir and strain into a coup glass.Garnish with an orange twist or maraschino cherry. 

Smoky Whisky Sour

For this whisky sour, it can only be Scotch whisky from the Island of Islay, just west of mainland Scotland where the peat used to dry the barley imparts that classic, smoky, peaty flavour. Ardbeg is set right by the water and prides itself on its quirky range of peaty whiskies named after myths and legends a lot of the time! If you’re a bit put off by using egg white, you can simply leave it out. It’s there to add a silky, creamy texture. 

Ingredients

50ml Islay Scotch Whisky (I’m using Ardbeg 10 year old)

25ml Fresh Lemon Juice

15ml Simple Syrup

1 Egg white (optional)

Bitters for colour

Orange or lemon peel for garnish

Method

Add the Scotch, lemon juice and egg white if you are using it into a shaker with ice and shake for around 30 seconds. Strain and pour into a rocks glass over ice. If you have foam, add a dash of bitters for colour. Mix the sugar and lemon very evenly for the best effect. 

World of Zing Leather and Walnut Manhattan

World of Zing were allegedly the pioneers of bottled cocktails, founded and crafted by Pritesh Moody from Sunday Brunch. A Manhattan is traditionally whisky, with sweet vermouth and bitters like the Rob Roy above. Rye whiskey is more usually used but it works particularly well with blended Scotch whisky too, such as the Johnnie Walker here. This handcrafted blend features Johnnie Walker Black Label, Rosso Vermouth, Walnut Bitters, Walnut Liqueur and Tannic Tincture.  ABV: 28% Look out for their Easter ones too! Hot Cross Bun-Hattan and Chocolate Orange Negroni

Find it for £15 from www.worldofzing.com, RRP from £15.00

Rebel without a Claus Cocktail

As one of the world’s oldest alcoholic drinks, mead has been enjoyed for thousands of years. Your first thought may be how on earth do I drink it?! But, fear not, mead is extremely versatile so you can enjoy it cold in a wine glass, warmed up in a mug or even try mixing it up in a cocktail like the one below from Jack Jamieson and our friends at Afon Mêl. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed!

Ingredients
50ml golden rum
20ml honey syrup
20ml Afon Mêl Ginger mead
20ml Lime juice
Top up with Afon Mêl Sparkling mead, Nectar
3 dashes Angostura bitters

Method
Add the first four ingredients to the glass and fill with ice. Stir and top up with Afon Mêl Nectar. Dash some Angostura bitters in and garnish with a lime slice.
