Blue Lagoon recipe

As ‘tropical’ cocktails go, they don’t get much better than the Blue Lagoon. If you fancy something less fizzy, try swapping the lemonade with pineapple juice.

Cranberry Vodka Martini recipe

Cranberry Vodka Martini recipe

The cranberry vodka martini is a refreshing take on the vodka martini – which is itself a bastardisation of the classic martini. Purists will tell you it isn’t a martini. You can tell them it …
