COCKTAIL O’CLOCK

If you tune into MiNDFOOD on Facebook each Friday around 6pm you’ll catch me chatting about the four or more wines I’m tasting in real time, but I always start by making a cocktail. Whether you prefer your drink blended, shaken, stirred or built, making your own cocktail is part of the journey to a great drink. Sometimes it’s better to have it done for you, so when that need arises next, be sure to look out for the Batched brand and range – its motto “equal parts delicious and convenient” says it all. I suggest you road test its espresso martini first, then graduate to a salted grapefruit margarita or its classic whiskey sour. batched.nz
