COCKTAIL OF THE MONTH NEW

~GOOD NIGHT KISS~
A Goodnight Kiss cocktail - looks like Yoshi Lis is going to try something new today...

Need:
4 oz Champagne
1 splash Campari® bitters
1 white sugar cube

(the only white sugar and even in cube form i managed to find in our cupboard (made in France - actually it's one of Paris cafe's lame souvenirs from 2006.. hope sugar does not have an exp date and hopefully woolworths sells something in this fashion) :))  
1 drop Angostura® bitters
Do: Place a drop of angostura bitters on a sugar cube and drop into a champagne flute. Add champagne and splash of campari. i also decorated the glass rim with ice sugar - to look frosted. (i did not use flute, just martini glass)
cocktails... m-m-m-m, but there comes my non-alcoholic alternative - blood orange freshly squeezed with our new Phillips super juicer: ta~da! no decorations as it is a rhapsody for eyes on its own...

and one more - pink grapefruit in a tall beer glass...


weekend 'brighton good guys' visit ended up with
Phillips Juicer NEW
i have to admit it is the best - we went through many and we bought this one... our we-could-not-do-a-better-quality-price-match surprise was not full as after opening the magical box at home Alex discovered some familiar faces on the cover of the book - Juice Master Australia and Julie D will love these pictures :) - Philips is quiet and powerful, hard working and the juice is coming out very thick and not waterish ... so yum-yum-me... i lyavvvvve my new juicer... :)

I want to feature one new cocktail each month, try it and prepare it for our next upcoming event for everyone if it is good enough:
