Fun to make and yummy, not only that, its good for you.

Pineapple makes delicious drinks that take very little effort to prepare. Both these drinks are of the non alcoholic variety but by simply adding a little good quality dark or white rum to them you have yourself a tasty intoxicating creation.

This is my favourite cocktail of all times to drink and serve, it is true decadence. All it requires is quality ingredients to be a success, of course it works just as well with a quality Australian sparkling as champagne.

One of our favorite pre-dinner drinks, especially in Summer. As one of our friends says, with all those tomatoes, it should be 'one of your five a day'. Well, we're not sure whether we agree with him, but they are very easy to make and very tasty.

Frozen daiquiris prepared from fresh fruit make one of the best cocktails in the summer months. You can replace the watermelon with your choice of fruit if you like, strawberries always go down well.

The singapore Sling was invented at the famous Raffles Hotel by Ngiam Tong Boon. This recipe is my favourite mix, which I got from the Savoy Recipe Book, printed in the 1930's. The are many other recipes for Singapore Sling, which many can be found on the web.

Limoncello is a famous Italian liqueur which is infused with lemon zest and sweetened with sugar. The addition of thyme to the recipe adds an underlying depth to this decadent drink. When ready store the Limoncello in the freezer and serve directly from there in shot glasses.

This makes a great savoury sorbet to be served at any part of a meal. I like my Bloody Mary very spicy so add a little tabasco but if you want a milder version just leave the tabasco out.

Mulled wine is a warming and aromatic winter drink which is excellent when served with mince pies on a cold winter evening.

This is a real energy with plenty of fresh fruit to get through the day and of course really yummy.
