A high spirited, highball classic born of the 13 year long prohibition era (13 YEARS!) it's a Russian Standard vodka, Bacardi Superior rum, Cointreau and Hayman's gin combination topped with cola or cranberry if going for the beach option - so, no iced tea there then, but did indeed originate on err...ong Island.

Invented in 1944 by Victor Bergeron AKA Trader Vic, Appleton VX rum, Cointreau, grenadine, almond syrup, lime and pineapple juice cocktail which he served to some friends who allegedly remarked "Mai Tai, Roa Ae!" which in Tahitian translates as "Out of this world"...

A riot of fruit flavours on a lemon base; Ketel One Citroen vodka, apple liqueur, fresh raspberries, fresh pressed apple juice and passion fruit... and so aptly named - guaranteed to get you dancing in the street.

Amaretto, lemon juice, Monin Gomme, Angostura bitters and a splash of soda... Very stylish.

Amaretto, Monin strawberry liqueur, milk and vanilla ice cream. A gorgeous milkshake!

Bombay Sapphire gin, Chambord, Monin Gomme, fresh blackberries and lemon juice.

It can be said with some certainty that this cocktail is originally Cuban but the rest; its creator and the exact recipe is subject to frequent and often heated debate, ours is simply St. Teresa Claro rum, fresh mint, a touch of sugar and lime juice. We do know though that this is the world's most popular cocktail... and deservedly so.

St Theresa Claro rum, Chambord, fresh mint, brown sugar, lime and fresh raspberries topped with soda.

St. Theresa Claro rum, pineapple juice, Monin coconut, fresh mint and lime topped with soda.

Bit of a favourite with les femmes, a fantastic combination of ingredients; Grand Marnier, Chambord, fresh strawberries and basil with a little cranberry juice creating the perfect pre-dinner drink - fruity and fresh but with a distinctly luscious edge.

close to being a Martini, it's simply the absence of vermouth and the extra citrus-tang from the Ketel One Citroen vodka with cranberry juice that gives it its distinction. Visually stunning and oh so very cosmopolitan in that classic Martini glass.

Ketel One vodka, and tomato juice spiced with Worcestershire sauce, seasoning and celery... arguments abound as to date and place of origin of this perfect pick-me-up, but it will both take you there and bring you back too.

The official language of Puerto Rico (ha ha), a latin-esque, exotic superlative - Bacardi Superior rum, fresh pressed pineapple, sweetened coconut and vanilla ice cream.

Grey Goose vodka, Chambord, pineapple juice and blackberries shaken together - hard and fast!

A fine softening of the classic Manhattan; Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Cherry Marnier and a little Campari to round-off, served straight up or 'on the rocks' as desired.

Simple combination of Ocho Blanco Tequila, Cointreau and fresh lime juice, lime-sharp and wonderfully refreshing, the perfect starter for ten.

A timeless classic; Bacardi rum, fresh strawberries and fresh citrus juice, it's painted verandas, verdant foliage, Cuban Jazz, Hemingway and hot sultry summer days wherever you are and whatever the weather.

A bright and fruity blend of pineapple juice, Licor 43, midori melon and koko kanu coconut liqueurs. Delicious accompaniment to a sunny day!

This cocktail is definitely not for the faint hearted - the clues in the name! Appleton VX, Wray & Nephew, Cointreau and lots of fruit juice oh and finished off with a Woods 100 float!

Whether you like it shaken or stirred with Tanqueray Ten Gin or Grey Goose vodka - it's a class act.

Created in 1980 by Alabama restaurant owner Tony Mason this is more than a long drink. Jack Daniels (JD to his friends) Cointreau lemon juice and lemonade all the way to the top!

Russian Standard vodka, Kahlua, Monin Gomme syrup and a shot of espresso
