Have you heard the latest? Staying in is the new going out, again! As the cost of living crisis bites, many of us are already cutting back on our social spending and going back to entertaining at home with our nearest and dearest, or simply enjoying a cozy weekend at home in front of the telly. This can often involve some cheeky drinks, so why not make it a little more special, without breaking the bank, with Tails Cocktails?
I first spotted Tails Cocktails on Instagram and as I've always loved the convenience of ready-mixed cocktails, I thought I'd give them a go!
What attracted me to them the most was that they use the award-winning 42 Below Vodka which is used in bars across the world, so you're getting a premium-tasting drink with each serving. Both cocktails below are 14.9% vol strength. Preparing these cocktails couldn't be simpler; just measure 125ml per drink, add to a cocktail shaker with some ice, shake and pour - easy! Use your fanciest glasses and add a garnish for a finishing touch if desired.
Tails Cocktails Passion Fruit Martini Cocktail (50cl, £15)
Summer feels like it ended such a long time ago but you can bring those sunshine vibes back into your living room with everyone's favourite Passion Fruit Martini Cocktail. This fruity and zingy little number is bursting with tropical citrusy flavour and a hint of sweet vanilla to help balance it out. Wonderfully smooth, it tastes like a tropical dream that's reminiscent of a melted Solero - absolutely delicious! The vodka adds a satisfying kick but it's not too overwhelmingly strong, I thought it was spot on. I finished it off with half a passion fruit as standard.
Tails Cocktails Espresso Martini Cocktail (50cl, £15)
If I could only drink one cocktail for the rest of my life, it would probably be an Espresso Martini. I've tried so many different brands and concoctions and they all have their own little quirk and differences in flavour. However, I'd say Tails is a pretty damn good example of this classic drink. Like its Passion Fruit sister above, the Espresso Martini is wonderfully silky smooth with a nice frothy head; it goes down a treat put it that way! The premium espresso coffee used is the perfect match with the 42 Below Vodka and this one definitely tastes stronger than the Passion Fruit. Very yummy!
Overall Thoughts
If you're looking for some premium-ready mixed cocktails, you really can't go wrong with the quality from Tails Cocktails, and if you were wearing a blindfold, you honestly wouldn't be able to tell that they weren't served straight from an expensive bar. Each bottle contains around four servings which works out at only £3.75 per drink and there's no need for an expensive taxi home either! Save yourself some money and enjoy a weekend in.
Tails Cocktails are available from various stockists including Waitrose and Ocado
