Cocktail week is upon us, and I’ve seen and tasted so great cocktails lately. Many establishments have hit the cocktail trail. The spirit of the old times is holding sway the classics and their reinventions and twists are all the rage at the moment. One kind of cocktail I enjoy the most is the after dinner tipple.
The kind of cocktail that you have after a glorious meal with fantastic company. You just don’t want the evening to end, so you order another drink so it can stretch the proceedings a little bit longer. Or indeed if you missed dessert a cocktail will finish a meal in style.
Coffee is high on my agenda, a cup of coffee after a meal sounds ideal, so I created a dessert-coffee-cocktail to celebrate this year cocktail week with the help of House of Fraser who provided me with some beautiful glassware and a very ‘on-trend’ cocktail shaker. I also made a little sablé in finger format as an added indulgence.
Just in case you missed dessert, cocktail

What a lovely cocktail I like the sound of dessert cocktails.
I am not a big fan of coffee, but have several coffee-holics in my family that this would be perfect for! It does look delicious though!
