5 Fun Cocktails to Try This Weekend

Are you a gin and tonic sort of girl? Haven't really had anything except rum and coke in the last couple of years? We often get stuck in a drink rut without even realising it - but this physical connection to your nightclub in London can really make a difference to how you feel about your night! Mix it up with some different cocktails when you’re clubbing in London this weekend … we've got tonnes for you to try.
The Grinch
This grumpy green Dr Seuss character may not have been much fun when he landed in Christmas world - but it'll put a little twist in your tummy, liven your wit and get you to move it, move it! Grinches are made with 2 ounces of Midori, ½ ounce of fresh lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar syrup. The ingredients are mixed over ice, so they go down very easy.
It's a very simple variation on a vodka martini, and you won’t need many of these before you'll have to find a willing balancing post to keep dancing at your night club in London!
Angel's Kiss
If you managed to snag the best couch in a relaxed London nightclub, have your most elegant club wear on and are in the mood to chill and chat, the Angel's Kiss is the drink for you. It layers Crème de Cacao, Crème Yvette, Prunelle and diving rich cream in a Pousse-café glass. It's an art learning to drink these with a straw…
Sex on the Beach
If you've been going to London nightclubs for a while and haven’t yet tried a Sex on the Beach cocktail, there's no time like this weekend! It mixes 3 ounces of cranberry juice, 3 ounces of orange or pineapple juice, an ounce of peach schnapps and an ounce of vodka with ice. Nuuummmmmmyyyy!
Dog Sled
I usually order this drink when I'm alone, in order to avoid the smartypants male comments that are sure to follow … it's beautiful on cold nights, and mixes Canadian Whiskey, orange juice, grenadine and lemon juice.
