Celebrate the solstice and warm summer evenings to come, with a cold Margarita, just as the sun goes down. Branch out and make yours with St Maur, to put a little drop of England’s heart® into the end of a long day.

Recipe:
25ml St Maur Elderflower Liqueur
50ml Tequila Blanco
25ml freshly squeezed lime juice
A splash of Cointreau

Add all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled (that’s the drink, not you). Salt half the rim of your favourite Margarita glass dampened with lime juice. Gently strain the mixture into the glass, over more ice if you wish, and garnish with a lime slice wheel. Enjoy until chilled (that’s you, not the drink).

This weekend we celebrate the New Year with Chinese members of our family and friends. Each year in a new tradition we craft an exquisite St Maur cocktail for the occasion, and to share and enjoy throughout the coming year. This year, the Year of the Dragon, it’s time for the Dragon and Phoenix. A complex dance of taste and flavour, surprisingly easy to make, and a joy to serve.

Recipe:
50ml St Maur Elderflower Liqueur
2 tbsp scoops of red Dragon Fruit pulp
25ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 or 5 mint leaves
Sparkling rosé wine

Scoop the Dragon Fruit pulp (make sure you use red Dragon Fruit for this recipe) into a cocktail shaker, and gently muddle before adding the liquid ingredients except for the sparkling rosé. Gently crush the mint leaves and add to the shaker along with ice. Shake hard for 15 seconds. Fill a chilled champagne flute half way with the sparkling rosé wine, then gently double stain the liquid from the shaker into the flute. Top up with the sparkling rosé as required. Garnish with a peel of Dragon Fruit and a sprig of mint.

Best wishes to you for the Year of the Dragon.
