Traditionally a Daiquiri should always be based on light rum but if I should feel like breaking with tradition and using aged rum, I find Embury's 8:2:1
Truly the milk of the Gods! Delicate bourbon with a touch of vanilla. Balanced rather than sweet, and milky rather than creamy.
A smooth creamy orangey dessert cocktail that is surprisingly boozy and far from overly sweet. However, be warned, it is thick and rich - just as a dessert
A classic Margarita with a hint of vanilla.
Ripe pineapple, rich vanilla and honey laced with rum. The use of mead in this drink inspired the 'Mediocre' name.
A banana-flavoured after-dinner sipper of cocktail with coconut water subtly flavouring and smoothing cognac.

Beetroot and vanilla are harmonious flavours, here rum-laced with balancing lime and an enlivening hint of spice.
Ginger notes are subtle while the caramel combines harmoniously with the aged tequila to make a truly delicious nightcap.
White tea stirred with new make spirit and passion fruit liqueur. The result is almost floral with tea tannins and underlying spirituous funk.
A sloe gin sour with a touch of almond. If you opt not to follow my addition of vanilla bitters, then consider dropping the orgeat to 5ml (1 bar spoon).
This after-dinner treat is creamy white and very nutty.
Mezcal fortifies and, depending on your choice of mezcals, provides subtle smokiness, while almond milk liqueur and bitter white liqueur contribute bittersweetness
A delicate, almond-flavoured Vodka Martini.
The chocolate rim sounds naff, but it makes this cocktail.
Vanilla, chocolate and a hint of nut. Enjoy as an altern'atini or add more sugar syrup to make this into a dessert cocktail.
Named after the London rhyming slang for port and brandy, its base ingredients. The love interest comes courtesy of orange and vanilla.
