The best hour of Friday

 



 





I really like Fridays, not just because obviously it is the start of the weekend, for me I have an early finish from work, time to mooch around the supermarket and get my weekly provisions, and then home for Cocktail hour.

I have spent the last year ( lockdowns) cooking 3-5 course French meals at weekends  and suddenly this year, due to my working week being totally chaotic, I decided on cocktail hour and all that it entails.

I love to plan the cocktails and any nibbles that will go with them.

Friday was extra special this week as it was the T20 Roses Game  ( and yes Yorkshire won)

Cocktails and cricket are a perfect combination.


So the cocktail du jour was


Midnightini


Blue Curacao

Vodka

Cranberry juice

( Sprite or 7up if desired)

Ice


This can be shaken or stirred your choice.

To the vodka add a dash of curacao and dash of cranberry, do this until you get the desired colour.

I ended up with a dark purple /blue colour, like the skies here at the moment at midnight as we are  still on longish days.

Either shake with ice or stir with ice.

If you think this is too strong add a dash of  7up or Sprite.


It really was a fabulous cocktail
