Love this cocktail (and Ab Fab). I added a little Chambord and called it a Sweetie Darling :)

Sweetie Darling sounded so absolutely fabulous we had to try it...you can now find our version by searching 'sweetie darling' in the search box above. We're sure Patsy and Eddy would approve. Thanks for the inspiration Lea!
