If you happen to own a calendar, which was one of the things I said I would do last year before I lost track of the date, then I imagine you’ve probably circled today on that calendar as a rather important day.

You managed to make it through Week One, the kind of week where 15 minutes pass by before you realise that you’re staring at the screen with your tongue hanging out and people are looking.

Let’s just agree on one thing – it’s time to slurp on something tasty, capeesh? As part of our #WorldClassFridays series we’re going to let you in on two of the office favourites, drinks that has you gingerly returning to your desk on the Monday thanks to Friday drinks that were too good to call early.

Step up to the plate Ketel One Bloody Mary, which packs something of a twist on the usual drink served around the world. Here’s how to make it just right:

Muddle two chopped rings of yellow bell pepper in the base of a cocktail shaker

Add 50ml Ketel One, 90ml tomato juice, 20ml Harveys Bristol Cream, 8 drops of Tabasco and 4 dashes of Worcestershire sauce

Rock rather than shake with ice and fine strain into an ice-filled Collins glass. Garnish with a salt and pepper rim and a celery stick.

Plus it’s a great hangover cure of course, so if your Thursday looks like running into your Friday you can’t really go wrong now can you?

Then we’ll throw the Singleton and Soda your way, because choice is something we all enjoy and we choose to drink both of these.

• Fill a highball glass or tumbler with ice
• Pour over 50ml of The Singleton of Dufftown 12YO and add 2 dashes of bitters
• Top with Soda water
• Garnish with a lemon wedge and a mint sprig

Happy Friday whatever the occasion, and if you just made it through Week One we salute you.
