A Note From Mimi
'I hope that this has given you a few cheeky ideas for the winter evenings and the impending festive season. We always make sloe-gin every year so enjoy a few sloegasms by the fire on a cold winters evening!!
The champagne flute is ideal for the french 75 and Sloegasm and the middle champagne bowl (which I found last Christmas in Aldi can u believe!) is perfect for the clementine martini. Enjoy!'
