A marteani anyone? – A splash of tea with an edge: The perfect partner, to a coffee-themed cocktail, this marteani is in essence a martini with tea.

Sophisticated, tasty, and a nice touch to any soirée, Nigella’s marteanis will be a must-try at the event. 

More mojitos please – A taste of the exotic: A light and refreshing, summer cocktail that’s ideal for any occasion, mojitos offer a citric burst that will quench your thirst and keep you wanting more. Nigella uses a generous dose of mint leaves, lime and dark rum to give this Cuban cocktail its zesty flavour.
