A post shared by Stephanie Milton (@miltonmanor)

Pubs, clubs and other social venues are beginning to reopen; life is feeling a little more normal again. Many of us over the past year and a bit have shifted our home life to compensate. Perhaps creating an outdoor barbecue kitchen or an indoor home cocktail bar such as this one.

For those of us not comfortable going back to busy pubs just yet, a cocktail bar at home isn’t hard to create. Start by getting a bar cart that suits your décor – Art Deco fabulous, vintage Tiki vibe, Mad Men mid-century… you get the drift.

Stock your cart with your favourite tipples – Aromatic gins, single malt whiskies, bottles of bone dry fizz… And don’t forget your selection of mixers – miniature bottles or cans of tonic, soda, juices.

Next, are all your tools & accessories – glassware, ice bucket & tongs, shaker, squeezer, strainer, muddler, stirrers, straws… I feel a cocktail party coming on! What’s your poison?

Review: Crozier Drinks

Crozier Drinks mango, lime & cayenne margarita in a glass

Crozier Drinks is a brand new company, launching only last week. They offer a home delivery service of pre-mixed, luxury cocktails using the best-quality fresh ingredients. You can make one off purchases or set up a regular subscription. It makes a lovely treat for yourself or an amazing gift for someone else.

Crozier Drinks box that came through the post

All the packaging is recyclable – we’ve kept the box to send items sold on our web shop and the inner cardboard filler has gone on to our compost heap. The very nice aluminium bottle is totally re-usable for storing & carrying other liquids – or displaying a few cut flowers, perhaps.

We opted to try the Mango Lime & Cayenne Pepper Margarita. The beautifully labelled bottle contains gold tequila, mango juice, lime juice, sugar syrup and cayenne pepper – suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This mixture 14% ABV.

Some of the other mixes in their range include marmalade & ginger daiquiri, kiwi & lime mojito, bakewell sour and apple pie martini.

Mango, lime & cayenne margarita

The margarita is very quaffable; the delicious fruitiness of the sweet mango is balanced with a tangy sourness of lime. The cayenne pepper adds a depth of flavour & spicy warmth. Truly delicious!!

Included in the package is an info sheet containing useful garnish ideas and serving suggestions for their whole range of cocktails.

Each Crozier Drinks bottle holds a 500ml amount of cocktail. The number of cocktails you get will depend on the size of your glass. Somewhere between two and four… or one whopping big one if you’re feeling particularly thirsty!!
