Family Friendly Cocktails

The end of the summer term is in sight and British parents are looking forward to spending time with their kids over the summer holidays. We all enjoy having the kids around the house during the hotter months, the big question is how do you keep them entertained?

According to research conducted by Whole Earth Drinks, kids are happiest when they spend time in the holidays doing things as a family, but a quarter of parents say they soon run out of ideas for keeping them occupied.

To give parents a helping hand with keeping the kids entertained over the summer we’ve got top tips from Mixologist David Hurst for getting creative in the kitchen this summer. Check out these two new fruit ‘n fizz cocktail ideas - Sparkling Sunrise Surprise or Tropical Elderflower Fizz – delightful summer tipples with no alcohol involved so that everyone can enjoy.
