Cocktails For Mums

Cocktail recipes that use easily found ingredients. Written and tested by mums : -)

We have a blog that's purpose is to keep track of cocktail recipes that work, and have them on hand.

Over the years we’ve enjoyed drinks made for us by expert alcohol artists while out and about. So much so, we’ve had to reinvent, appropriate and amend drinks we’ve enjoyed, approximating their flavours and textures using ingredients in our pantries.

I find it difficult to have a cocktail bar’s full range of liqueurs, mixers and garnishes at home. Not a purist, I’m happy enough to have a tasty cocktail or two on the weekend. It doesn’t need to be built the way a mixologist first created it in a 1920s speakeasy inspired by a visiting dignitary.

These recipes are mash ups and short cuts but we’ve used them, a lot. I’m not including anything that isn’t downed with gusto.

We hope you try one or two and please send us your recipes so others can enjoy what you’ve discovered.
