Penned by our wonderful resident Cocktail Queen, Dawn Frenchie

Hello lovely ladies!

Are you looking for a way to impress your date on your next night out? Well, look no further than the world of cocktails! Not only are they delicious, but they also show that you put some thought and effort into planning a special evening.

First things first, think about the type of person you're going on a date with. Are they a fan of sweet and fruity drinks or do they prefer something strong and bold? Knowing their preferences will help you choose the perfect cocktail to match their taste.

Next, consider the atmosphere of the place you'll be going to. Are you planning on going to a fancy cocktail bar or will you be at a more casual spot? The ambiance of the location can also play a role in determining the type of cocktail you'll want to serve up.

Now, let's talk ingredients! Whether you're a pro at mixing drinks or just starting out, it's important to have a few key ingredients on hand. Some staples to have in your cocktail arsenal include:

• Simple syrup (for sweetness)
• Lemon or lime juice (for acidity)
• Bitters (for depth of flavour)
• A variety of spirits (such as gin, rum, and whiskey)
• Fresh fruits and herbs (for added flavour and garnish)

With these ingredients, you can create a wide range of delicious cocktails that are sure to impress your date. For a sweet and fruity option, try a classic strawberry daiquiri made with rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. For something bold and strong, a gin and tonic with a twist of lemon and a sprig of rosemary is sure to do the trick.

And remember, the most important ingredient in any cocktail is love and a happy upbeat tone! So, go forth and mix up the perfect drink to share with your special someone. Cheers to love and a great date night!

All the love,

Dawn
