Mix up a few ingredients, carefully, of course, and you may be up for moments of happiness. I love cocktails and am frequently asked which are my favourites. I cannot answer that – it would be like asking a mother to choose their favourite child – so for this article, I chose 10 cocktails I enjoyed recently, on location.
Travel for me is all about the memories – the times shared with friends and family. Meeting for drinks is one of my favourite past times – and one I am particularly good at.
1. Mango and ginger Mojitos in the Maldives – perfect to watch the sun set.
Mango mojitos? Yes, please
2. Punch in London – going back in time is not a bad thing.
How fab do they look? And I can assure you, they were delicious.
3. A Kir Royale with a view in France. Because one needs to rest after skiing.
A kir royale with a view. Je t’aime, Val d’Isere
4. The perfect Gin & Tonic in Madrid. Because Gin tastes better in Spain (the glasses must have something to do with it).
This is what I call a gin & tonic
5. A very dirty martini in Beverly Hills. Where were you all my life?
Very dirty martinis… loved them!
6. The first summer Pimms of the season, at home in Henley on Thames. British summer in a glass.
A Pimms with a view (mind the plastic glass.. health and safety and all…)
7. A mango margarita in Mexico. The juice was freshly squeezed, which makes it count towards your 5-a-day, for sure.
Más mango margaritas, por favor!
8. Lychee caipirinhas in the Maldives. Possibly the best drink ever.
Lychee Caipirinha
9. A glass of Taittinger on board. Because you know it will be a great flight.
I am off for 8 hours. Do not disturb.
10. Vermouth at 11.30am in Madrid. Would be rude not to partake in a national pastime.
Vermouth in Madrid, just go with it
Based on the memories, and the moments around each cocktail, I cannot help but smile – life is to be enjoyed with people you love and make you happy.
Which shared moment comes to your mind? And where? Would love to know!
