Lumia Shrub Cocktail


Recipe for a Miss Pink.WARNING: This may or may not work in creating your very own Miss Pink clone. I am not held responsible if it doesn't.
One part straight shooting, add in a gutsy kick of pink, a squeeze of cuteness, and a wedge of glittery zing. Blend some freshly picked honesty, a sprinkling of cleverness and cracked sense of humour over the top.
Pour over ice.
Goes great with vodka.


Image found here and may not be of an actual Watermelon Sherbet Martini.
Or you could just go for a drink like the Watermelon Sherbet Martini from Lumia Shrub.
Russian Standard Vodka shaken with watermelon oleo saccharum, pomegranate, lime sugar, fresh watermelon finished with a watermelon wedge.

Goes great with a Miss Pink.


It's no secret that I'm a cocktail girl. Any kind of catch up where there are cocktails involved and I.am.there. Because of this I've also started to get a very specific idea of what sort of flavour combo's float my boat, and which one's....well have me riding the porcelain train.
The Lumia Shrub Watermelon Sherbet Martini ticks all the boxes for me, and then some. The mix of my poison of choice, the fruity sweetness that isn't too sweet, and the zing of lime to bring it back down. Yes, this is one of those rare harmonious combinations you think you're tasting ten drinks in, but that I could actually taste on my very first sip.

What kind of Lumia Shrub cocktail floats your boat?

  3. That sounds sensational. I love a toblerone cocktail but IT can't have too many or I just end up bloated! Also keen on the strawberry daquiri, yum, or a margarita!

  4. When I was young free and single I loved cocktail nights with the girls. Some of the best cocktails I ever had were ones I got the barman to make up on the spot (some of the worst too :-) One day, when my children are older and we're all sleeping through I'll re-discover cocktails! x

  5. Oooh, I like a cocktail. As long as I dont have to walk or try to say anything sensible after one. Hope you do well in this comp. I am partial to strawberry daquiries and when they were served pre-dinner at our daughter's wedding I got into mine like it was, ummm a cooling drink. I then realised, I needed to remain more in control as MOTB so, reluctantly stopped at one. Denyse x #TeamIbot

  6. Mr Black is a big Strawberry Daquiri fan! You wouldn't pick it to look at him, and he looks quite funny with the drink in hand.

  8. Oh Den, you should have sucked those cocktails down. If you can't let lose on your daughters wedding night when can you?

  9. Oh this sounds awesome! I'm not a huge cocktail fan, cause often they taste too alcoholic (I don't like to taste my alcohol), but vodka is usually pretty safe.
    Good luck! Hope you win!
