Berczy Winter Cola Hard Seltzer *

Berczy Winter Cola Hard Seltzer *

Hands up if you are getting excited for Christmas! I think we can tell that I am given todays post and with it being only 1 month to go. Earlier this year Berczy hit the shelves with 3 flavours. Fast forward to the precipice of Christmas festivities and they have released a new winter version of Berczy Winter Cola. You may recall I previously reviewed the original flavours and was pleasantly surprised with how alcoholic sparkling water could be, well, nice. Aside from the new limited edition flavour they too have become carbon neutral! Well done! So what is Berczy?…

Hotel Chocolat Cinnamon Buns Selector

Hotel Chocolat Cinnamon Buns Selector

It’s snowing Christmas in Hotel Chocolat. Amongst the chocolate boxes, hampers, jolly penguins and snowmen, there’s also the Hotel Chocolat Cinnamon Buns Selector. This isn’t actually a newbie, but is one that has been around before, and is back once more.  Last year I tried the Treacle Tart Selectors, which were nice but dubious you could actually tell what they were in a blind taste test. This year I am hoping the Cinnamon Bun can do a little better.  If you aren’t familiar the Selector’s come in at £3.95 a pop or 3 for £10. They are suitable for vegetarians…

Mr Kipling Chocolate Orange Whirls

Mr Kipling Chocolate Orange Whirls

It seems that Chocolate Orange is the flavour to be had! We have had the yummy Chocolate Orange Twirls, The Cadbury Orange Mousse Snowman and Hotel Chocolat Orange Chocolate Wafers to name a few. Now it is the turn for these Mr Kipling Chocolate Orange Whirls. These were in Tesco and on offer for £1.00. As always there are six in a box which sit in a plastic tray (tut tut). Upon opening the whirls were a wee bit mismatch, with most of the filling splodged out of one side.  The Mr Kipling Chocolate Orange Whirls sit amongst Iced Top…

Party Seasons: Champagne & Prosecco Cocktails

Party Seasons: Champagne & Prosecco Cocktails

We are getting close to the glitz, the glamour and the festivities and a glass of bubbles couldn’t be more perfect at such a time. It is tradition that the bubbles are flowing in our house on Christmas Day, as well as throwing in a few cocktail creations thereafter to see us through to New Year. So naturally I cannot think of a better time to share some champagne and prosecco cocktails to really get us in the party spirit, and perhaps give you some drink inspiration.  Last year I put together a few recipes of varying cocktails, FYI The Sparkling…
