The Living Room Bristol

Get ready to channel the supermodels this spring with a cocktail collection created from the new season's trends. 

Using the catwalks as inspiration, The Living Room's expert mixologists have taken the best bits from the designer shows and recreated them in liquid form.  The result is dazzling range of drinks sure to please even the most demanding fashionista!

"We have been intently watching what the designers are creating for the new season.  Taking this on board, we've put together a Spring/Summer 2012 collection inspired by our favourite styles as seen on the catwalks." says General Manager Kevin Lightbody.

He adds, "Whether you're a floral flirt, a minimalist muse or a safari siren, there is a cocktail to suit everyone's style."

With five cocktails for the new season, each combines the very best spirits with unique and exotic flavours that are bound to please not just the palette, but also the eye!  

Vintage AmericanaAs far as the fashion world is concerned, the recession is over and styles are harking back to the affluence and optimism of America in the 50s. Think glossy leathers buffed to a Cadillac sheen, lipstick red fabrics and prim plaids - from pastel checks to classic tablecloth ginghams. 'Vintage Americana' is all about fun and frivolity with a touch of fruitiness too!

Ingredients:  50ml Havana 7yr (Gold Rum)20ml Passionfruit Syrup20ml Fresh Lime Juice100ml Apple Juice

Method: Shake all ingredients hard with ice, strain over crushed ice and garnish.

Razzle DazzleHead back in time to the 20s when deco was the style and the perfect silhouette was the answer to all of life's problems. Designers took influence from the styles of the day, making the most of tasselled trims, beading and ostrich feathers. 

Ingredients:15ml Cherry Brandy5ml Maraschino syrup (from a jar of cherries)15ml Cranberry JuiceProsecco

Method: Keep all ingredients chilled before serving.  Pour the first three ingredients into a chilled champagne flute, slowly top up with Prosecco, stir to mix and garnish.
