A summer cocktail masterclass

So summer is officially here and with it come the quintessential summer past times – long days in the park, balmy evenings in the garden and of course a nice tipple to get the party started. Summer is definitely the time of year to enjoy a cooling cocktail, but do we really know what to make, and more importantly, how to make them?

We may love to sip a sweet cocktail in the heat of the summer sun, but when it comes to making it ourselves, what are the vital ingredients? Thankfully, professional help is at hand with top mixologist and cocktail expert Ben Reed – Ben certainly knows his Tom Collins from a Monkey Shoulder.

With refreshing recipes, like the Disaronno Cranberry Cooler or Amarula Frozen Springbok, which are guaranteed to keep you cool as the heat rises, you’ll be able to create that foreign holiday feel, even if you’re not going away this year. So, if you want to develop your cocktail making skills, then log on to our live and interactive webTV show to find out how to ensure your party shines this summer.
