One of the downsides of parenting is that you hardly ever get anytime to go out. Thus myself and the husband have to content ourselves with our film night on a Saturday where we strive to watch a new Blu-Ray, have a nice dinner and a glass of wine or a cocktail. Any excuse really for a nice cocktail, I like a Cosmopolitan, but I’m keen to try out new ones.
I’ve recently been trying Midori which is a melon liqueur, they kindly sent me some recipes especially for Bonfire Night. I have posted these below:
Toffee Apple
MIDORI
1 part
Cognac
1 part
Squeeze of Fresh Lemon
Top with Apple Cider
Pour ingredients over ice into a glass, and gently stir. This smooth cocktail is the
perfect accompaniment to any Bonfire Night bash. If you’re feeling adventurous why
not garnish with toffee apple slices?
Bombfire Night Shotail
MIDORI
1 part
Dark Rum
1 part
Orange Juice 1 part
To make this simple ‘shotail’ pour the ingredients carefully into a shot glass and enjoy
the explosion of colourful fruity flavours!
I cant wait to give them a go. If you don’t have any yummy Midori, pop a sparkler in your cup of coffee with a drop of Baileys, you can imagine you are having a special Cocktail…
Midori is stocked by Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s and is available in 70cl and 50cl sizes. Guide retail price is £9.34 to £14.85.
I did not receive anything for posting this, I just happen to like cocktails and I’m sharing the love!

Those sound yummy! I have to admit that I'm tempted to smuggle a hip flash of sloe gin to the fireworkds display – anything to keep out the chill (and deal with the MIL visit…!)
Have you read the book 'How to Drink' – like Nigella's How to eat, only about booze. Really good on cocktails
I love cocktails, too! We should go out one night, try one of the new cocktail bars that are popping up all around town these days. x
