Happy Long Weekend - the sun is shiiiining!
It's currently Friday afternoon, I've spent all day in a bikini, I've written blog posts in the sunshine and it feels like the perfect start to Summer.
Seeing as we all need something to cool off with in this heat I've rounded up some Pinterest Cocktail recipes I'm dying to try! Just a mini post, but all the recipes are linked below so you can make them to and find out what you need to do so. Let me know which are your favourites!

Today I thought I'd let you in on how I make my favourite cocktail at home! I am a sucker for any kind of cocktail but I love mojitos, especially with some passionfruit added.
You can pretty much make these however you'd like. I've done it in various different ways with various different utensils... on our first attempt, our cocktail shaker was the bottle from my Blend Active Blender. Things have got a little more classy since then & I purchased this copper cocktail shaker from Sainsburys.
I'm also not very precise on measurements either (Good job on the recipe post G, It's going well...) I just do it to taste! But here's what you'll need for your at home mojitos!
White Rum
Soda Water
Fresh Mint Leaves
Limes
Agave Nectar (Or sugar, but I prefer the syrup as it dissolves quickly)
& passionfruit if you want to change it up a bit.
Throw your mint, lime juice (& the rest of the lime, why not ey?) white rum and your sugar/syrup into a cocktail shaker and give it a good old shake. Pour it equally into your glasses then top up with soda water. Ideally have your glass filled with crush ice & some mint leaves, but that's not essential!
As you can probably tell, it's pretty much trial and error every time! I've had some that taste heavenly & some that don't taste of much. Either way, they're so much fun to make with friends, so pop to the shops, grab the ingredients and you're good to go for a girls night in!
Cheers!
You know that feeling when you're best friends/housemate is leaving Brighton for good, so all you want to do is get drunk and eat burgers? Yeah, that.
My dearest housemate, partner in crime, best friend and future WWE tag-team partner (that may be unrealistic goal) is returning home after one year in Brighton to start a different university course at another uni. I'm gonna miss the girl like crazy so we decided to spend out last night doing what we do best, drinking and eating and then drinking some more.
After testing out some cocktails during Happy Hour (5-7pm!) a few weeks back, we thought we'd test out Burgers & Cocktails in Brighton again. It's part of the Giraffe chain so I was eager to try it out. 
Passionfruit Mojito for me and a Laid Back Jack for Fran. The best passionfruit mojito I've ever had!
Funky and fun decor with live music events too, this place is great to take friends for food and drinks. I'll be taking the Mr there for a date at some point! The waiting staff were great too, we had a waiter and a waitress, I didn't catch their names but they were absolutely lovely - up for a laugh and super attentive!
Happy Hour was nearly ending, so we may have ordered in a few drinks to keep us going. The cocktails are incredible, there is something for everyone. Fruity, sour, sweet, creamy, frozen, all sorts! Even one they set on fire, make incredible sparks fly then get you to blow out the fire and drink the shot (That's the Flaming Mon, a favourite!) Happy Hour makes them half price so for around £3.50 each, you seriously can't go wrong! 
Food arrived and oh boy, It was great. I had a Bacon and Cheeseburger. Juicy beef burger, crunchy lettuce, crispy bacon, molten cheese and special sauce and of course, extra pickles, all in a brioche bun, which makes it taste even better! Fran went for the Falafel & Halloumi Burger which she said was also absolutely delicious and full of flavour. It was tough to pick from the yummy sides, but we went for sweet potato fries which were super, super tasty.
So If you're planning a trip to Brighton and you're looking for a great place to grab a bite to eat or have some fruity cocktails, I'd definitely recommend Burgers & Cocktails!
