So Zoe turned 13 last week…I was certainly no where near as worldly wise as she is when I was 13 (one look at what I was wearing in photos will confirm this-far too bad to show here of course). So it’s party time this weekend and time to put some effort in!
First up it’s hire a hot tub! We’re in Manchester and found a friendly supplier called Out For The Bounce. Said item arrives tomorrow and we’re going to decorate the outside with lanterns and fairy lights for a nice glow come dusk.
Meanwhile we’re planning mocktails…
Here are our chosen faves:
Margarita:
Lime concentrate, freshly squeezed lime juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly squeezed lemon juice, caster sugar. Blend together, then mix in lots of ice. Sugar the rim of a margarita glass(dipped in lime juice so it sticks) then pour in the iced mocktail.
Piña Colada:
Chopped pineapple, light coconut milk, coconut water, ice and lime – blitzed together until smooth. Serve with a cocktail stick skewered with a cherry, a piece of pineapple and a slice of lime.
Mojito:
Lime juice, elderflower cordial, brown sugar, mint leaves,soda water-mix together, crushing some of the mint and add ice. Serve with stir sticks and slices of lime.
Vanilla Watermelon Soda
Watermelon juice, lime juice, cream soda, ice – serve with small slices of watermelon on cocktail sticks.
Just need the weather to go with them now!
