TIME FOR A TIPPLE: ORANGE BLOSSOM BLISS
Time for a Tipple
If all the May sunshine has you squinting at the horizon in anticipation of the heady haze of high summer, this cocktail is just for you!
Gorgeous orange liqueur is fortified by a hefty slug of rum, while a little sweet peach juice adds the appearance of innocence. Mix it all up with a refreshing squeeze of lime and some crushed ice, and you’re ready to welcome the summer!
Orange Blossom Bliss
Recipe* (Serves 2)
- 2 fingers of Cointreau, or other orange liqueur

Method
- Throw a generous handful (or two depending how hot it is outside) of ice into the blender.

- Add a straw and sip in the garden with a friend!
Bonus summer hack!
Why should the kids have all the slurpy summer fun? If you have any cocktail mix leftover (surely not!) just pour it into ice-lolly moulds and freeze it for a quick afternoon refresh!
Just make sure you warn the kids to keep their sticky mitts off!
