Rosé and Blueberry Ice Lollies
Sharing something a little moodier on the blog today– Rosé and Blueberry Ice Lollies lollies. A refreshing palate cleanser to serve before a valentines dinner, or whenever! These ice lollies are made with frozen blueberries, rose, lemon juice and a tiny bit of sweetness. You will need a good quality rose, (I used this one) plus an lolly / popsicle mould and sticks. Very refreshing to serve on a hot day at the pool, but they melt fast because of the wine, so don’t eat too slowly. ENJOY!

Healthier Lemon and Raspberry Lemonade
If you are looking for a refreshing drink that is lower in sugar, may I suggest this Healthier Lemon and Raspberry Lemonade? 🍋 Made with lemon, raspberries, soda water and agave syrup, this drink is the perfect guilt-free lemonade.

Cruxland Gin Deep Night
Here’s a fruity yet musky cocktail to try, this Cruxland Gin Deep Night gin recipe. When Cruxland Gin asked if I would like to try their new Earthly Truffle Gin – I was apprehensive because I have never had a sophisticated enough palate to appreciate truffles 😂 I was pleasantly surprised to taste that their gin didn’t taste or smell like rotten garlic (the only way I can describe my previous experience) but rather it tasted kind of like Christmas pudding. They shared there Cruxland Deep Night recipe with me, which I have recreated below. Give this gin a try if you like Nutty Musky Flavours 😍 Cruxland Gin Deep Night…
