Hi guys welcome back, so today is Christmas Eve, I am so excited to be home for the holidays and to be spending time with my crazy ass family and some very old friends!!! Today's post is going to be a little different, instead of a "how to : make up look" which Is what I usually post we are going to be doing a "How to : cocktails for Christmas"
So yeah you read it right, today I'm going to be talking you through how to make one of my favourite cocktails ever which is a Bellini!! These drinks are really easy and quick to make, their really good as a sort of welcoming drink if you are hosting this festive season...
You will need:
* drinking glasses obviously, there doesn't need to be a specific type just any glasses you have will do
* 1 lime
* a bag of sugar
* a small plate
*Prosecco (if you don't have Prosecco you can also use champagne)
^ Now before we jump in let me just explain the smoothie.. usually when you have a Bellini its a puree that's been put into the glass not a smoothie but I was out shopping yesterday and couldn't find puree anywhere so I opted for an M&S smoothie which will work just the same!! There is usually a flavour to your Bellini and those flavours re either peach or berry, I couldn't find anything peach related in the shop but berry Bellini's are just as delicious!!
How to:
1. cut your lime up into wedges, then rub the lime wedge around the rim of your glass so its quite damp and sticky.
2. Open your sugar and pour some onto your little plate, then take your glass and dip the rim of the glass you just covered in lime into the sugar ( it should not look like this down below)
3. Measurements aren't that important if its just two ingredients so I just go with 50/50. Pour some of your smoothie into the glass so its half full
4. Pop open your Prosecco/champagne and pour it into the glass until its full
5. Give it a stir and then enjoy!!!
(P.S if there are any non drinkers in the family, you can swap the champagne/Prosecco for shloer, it will work just the same!!)
So there you have it, a quick easy cocktail recipe that will definitely impress your guests this holiday season, this recipe isn't just for Christmas it can be for new year or any upcoming event you may have on.
That's it for todays post, thank you so much for reading I hope you enjoy making these amazing cocktails, and from my family to yours have a Merry Christmas
XOXO
