TobleroneCocktail09

I enjoy cocktails that don’t taste like too much alcohol. Most people would say I would therefore like almost all cocktails, although that isn’t the case. I like a few – and this is my favourite!!

It could almost be a dessert in itself, but I do enjoy it at any time and with (almost) any meal – it tastes just like a chocolate milkshake – only alcoholic 😛

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t drink it all the time. But once in a while, it’s a nice treat and will be lovely in our hot weather.

Midori Splice

Bold cocktails are beautiful, especially when layering is involved. And anything that takes you back to a relaxing holiday on a beach is a definite… either on holiday or back home.

Even though it is getting cooler here in Sydney at the moment, I’m sure there’s still space for a cocktail or two, perhaps on the upcoming long weekend…

The addition of the coconut rum really makes this cocktail remind me of summer, the beach and relaxing. The beautiful layering of green, yellow and white also inspire holiday-like day-dreaming.
