{April A-Z Challenge} The letter C

Chantellinis

C is for … Cocktails

My 1st experience of a cocktail was a strawberry daiquiri - a mixture of crushed ice and delicious strawberries. The alcohol made me feel light-headed and relaxed. Best of all, it was topped with a whole strawberry.

When I was earning my own money, it was fun for the friends to get together over brightly coloured drinks and regale each other with stories of disastrous dates or exciting escapades.

1 night I confessed my desire to write an anonymous book about dating and stalkers. I even conceptualised the cover and the title. My anonymous blog was borne from a night of cocktails and a few years later here I am; Drinking cocktails and making memories.

Allow me to share the recipe of one of my very favourite cocktails - called a Chantellini - because it was concocted in my kitchen 1 night after many (many) taste-testing sessions.

You will need:

For 1 drink:
A martini glass - dip the rim in apple flavoured jelly powder
An apple slice dipped in some liquor to prevent discolouration - slit just enough to garnish the glass
Half a shot of Vodka
One shot of Apple Sourz (Tang Apple)
Fill up with Appletiser (or 100% sparkling apple juice)

Enjoy!
