Cocktail Hour

I've always had an obsession with the 'bar cart', and those who know me know I'm fond of the odd drink or three. During my time here in the Philippines I've certainly drunk more cocktails than I know what to do with - wine here is expensive and vile (well, my palate isn't a fan). Cocktails are fun and super cheap here (50c at some places..... seriously).
Given my frequent overseas travel for work, I've been stocking up on spirits duty free with the idea of setting up a good bar, and this has become more exciting now I have my new little place and some entertaining area. Bring on Summer!
However, whilst I've partaken in many cocktails - I have never really made any so wasn't sure what spirits I should be getting etc. Enter the fabulous Society Social. LOVING the concept and their furniture range. Roxy is an absolute power house, the work and effort that has gone into her range, the styling etc is mind blowing. Society Social Facebook link referred to this article by Martha Stewart on cocktail essentials. I now have my shopping list for duty free this Saturday morning (two more sleeps and I'm home for a couple of weeks!) when I land. Thanks Roxy for the heads up!!
Anyone got any good cocktail recipes? Don't like them sweet, but not too sour either...
Now all I need is a bar cart?!?!! - Roxy pretty please get your pretties shipping to Oz as soon as possible? mwah! xox

I love Mojitos, Cosmopolitans and French Martinis. Can't go past a Pimms either. Best thing about summer!

I love a little cocktail action and my fave, despite its SATC cliche, truely is the Cosmopolitan. It's the perfect sweet/sour balance and glam pink shade that does it for me. Check out my blog:
