I absolutely love this time of the year, the decorations, the tinsel, the smell of cinnamon in the air, twinkling lights on the tree, the presents  and most of all the music… it gives you every reason to smile. My most favorite childhood christmas memory takes me back to the year I got my bicycle! I still remember the smell of our live tree, my dad asking me to get in position for the picture, and my extreme happiness to be sitting on my first pair of wheels :) Continue reading →

mmm.. so this weekend was rather special… yes we had a hen-do for a rather stunning bride to be :)

Tania- The Bride-to-be

so what was my contribution… a concoction to get her drunk as fast as possible; alright the drink wasn’t one of my lethal ones which find you on the floor, but it definitely picked up the spirit. It was “supposed” to turn out like a regular mojito.. but silly me forgot to pick up the rum and I had to make do with VODKA. The simple thought of Vodka makes my body shudder, but it was quite a surprise that I was able to drink this quite smoothly.

You’ll need the following (serving 10 people or 5.. ):

  • Handful of strawberries
  • Handful of blackberries
  • Handful of Raspberries
  • Handful of blueberries
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1½ can of sprite/ 7up/ soda (i used sprite)
  • Handful of mint leaves
  • Handful of Coriander leaves with stalks
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 cups Raspberry vodka
  • 7 cups cranberry juice
The method is rather simple. Blend all the Berries with the brown sugar, mint and coriander coarsely, you don’t want it too smooth, these little bits fall to the bottom of the glasses, and were real fun to slurp up. Pour the mixture in a LARGE pitcher. Add in the cranberry juice and Raspberry vodka. Give it a quick stir spreading out all the fruity goodness sitting at the bottom. Finally, add the sprite, stirring it evenly. And there you have it!
