How to make your own cocktails
3:31 pm
Hey everybody!
As some of you may know, my boyfriend came to visit me at university last week, which was a great opportunity to do lots of new and exciting things that I hadn't necessarily done before! One of these things was... A cocktail making class! I thought this was such a cool idea as I've always been really impressed with bartenders making all different kinds of cocktails, so it was a great opportunity to learn how they do it. I managed to pick up a copy of the various cocktail recipes, so I thought I'd share a few of them with you all so maybe you'll be able to make your own cocktails!
2. Fill the glass to the top with crushed ice
3. Add 25ml of white rum, followed by 25ml of Limoncello
4. Mix the drink before garnishing with a slice of lime

I'm super excited about these cocktail recipes - next year, I'll be moving out of university accommodation and into a house with some of my friends, so it'll be great to be able to make our own cocktails and have cocktail nights!
Hope you enjoyed this post, and let me know if you decide to make any cocktails, or if you have any cocktail recipes of your own!
