We are well and truly in the festive season! We’re in the middle of Hanukkah and Christmas is one week away! Christmas trees are up, ugly Christmas jumpers are on, office parties are getting going and my house looks like a post office with all the packages building up (yay for online Christmas shopping). Whether you’re the kind of person who has the tree up before the Halloween decorations are down or you’re a real holiday scrooge, or somewhere in between – I think we can all agree we need a few good cocktails to get us through the season with our sanity intact!

So, mince pies? Some of you on the other side of the pond might be wondering what these weirdly named treats are! Well, they’re a classic British Christmas treat in the form of individual pies. They’re usually made with shortcrust pastry and filled with dried fruits, spices, sugar, and sometimes beef suet – the filling is called mincemeat. Yep, sounds totally weird I know. Personally, I’m not actually the biggest fan of mince pies, they just don’t do it for me. I made my own version a couple of years ago which strayed completely from tradition and were really yummy. However, I love all the flavours that go into a mince pie so a Christmas Mimosa along that theme is a real winner in my books!

These Strawberries and Cream Sorbet Mimosas are a little taste of summer, and that’s exactly what we need in the UK right now!

I think summer might be over for us, but who knows whats August will bring. But, for now, we can at least enjoy some summery drinks! I was inspired to make these Strawberries and Cream Sorbet Mimosas by these amazing Rosé Raspberry Sorbet Mimosas from Fox and Briar – make sure you check them out!
