RECEPTION Shaken Not Stirred 11606 views

Brides looking for something a bit more contemporary at their wedding than the usual champagne, should try these new professionally prepared cocktails-in-a-bottle from west eleven.

Perfect for an evening reception, these tasty cocktails have maximum taste and zero fuss. There are three cocktails to choose from, each with a contemporary twist to bring them bang up to date: Passionfruit Mai Tai, Pomegranate Cosmo (very Sex & the City) and Elderflower Collins; and they all offer a super-chic and distinctive alternative to champagne.

No need for shakers, juicers, muddlers, or expensive barmen. Just make sure there are plenty of chilled bottles of west eleven to be shaken, poured over lots of ice and offered to your guests. (We recommend you get someone else to do the shaking and pouring though – you wouldn’t want to ruin your dress!)

Each bottle provides two servings so it’s a great cash-saving alternative to fizz, too. For a neat finishing touch, add a sprig of mint for the Mai Tai or a few pomegranate seeds on the Cosmo.

The three west eleven cocktails are now available from selected Sainsbury’s stores nationwide for £2.99 a bottle. Each one is made from the finest ingredients including 100% grain vodka, hand-blended Jamaican and Cuban rums and natural fruit. There are no preservatives, artificial colours or sweeteners so you can have a guilt-free tipple on your big day.
