We Found The Perfect Drink To Kickstart Your Weekend

What if we just embraced the fact that yes, we are hamsters on a walking wheel and the weekend is a dangling carrot motivating us to keep going?

What if we just embraced the fact that yes, we are hamsters on a walking wheel and the weekend is a dangling carrot motivating us to keep going?

I mean, saying otherwise when that remains true won’t exactly change anything, so we might as well just do what we can to enjoy the two days off a week that we do get.

In the wise words of Tom Brady, we’re doing the best we can.

The absolute best would be making a tall glass of something boozy to invite the weekend in, don’t you think?

It’s Friday and we’re positively frothing for these Fitch & Leedes-inspired cocktails.

The perfect recipe to elevate your weekend celebrations is the ultimate Gin & Juice:

Get in, bestie, the weekend won’t start without you and a cheeky cocktail.

Ingredients:
Method:
  1. Build all ingredients over ice in a Collins glass.
  2. Top with Grapefruit juice and Fitch & Leedes Cheeky Cranberry.
  3. Stir ingredients together and garnish with Lemon wheel.

The Fitch & Leedes Cheeky Cranberry is a welcome addition to any cocktail – sexy and bold, with a dash of chilli to really get you going.

How audacious and delicious does that sound?

To really get the party started, mix up an equally as naughty Albatross Vodka & Cheeky Cranberry cocktail:

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Mix the vodka and pomegranate juice in a tall glass filled with ice until cold.
  2. Top with Fitch & Leedes Cheeky Cranberry and garnish with pomegranate rubies.

Albatross Vodka is distilled from a selection of the finest Cape Grapes and the purified water of the Table Mountain aquifer.

A sip of that swizzle with a silky-smooth finish combined with the seduction of cranberry and a hint of bold chilli is bound to make you feel similarly free and wild.

Then, keep the vibe going with this Espolon Blanco Tequila & Bitter Lemon cocktail:

The party won’t end when tequila enters the scene. That is another hard truth that we cannot deny.

When it comes with a tantalising chaser, you can forget about the hamster wheel of the past week with ease at least.
