We love drooling over food porn on IG at any time of the year, but the festive grub and glasses of booze on our goods are literally taking us to heaven right now. Warning: be prepared for an ultimate food coma.
1. Cheese, Chorizo and Sage Toastie

Our gift to you this rather dreary December day is the secret to our ULTIMATE ho-ho-hot chocolate we prep every Christmas Eve for when Father C comes to visit down our chimney.
We think our main man deserves an extra special lil’ summin summin when it comes to his hot beverage of choice during his crazy busy evening. So we turned to the one thing that brings forever love and solves *almost* all of life’s problems; <3 Nutella <3.
What’s Christmas without fizz and glitter? We’re totally crushin over this glam twist on a traditional ice cream float.
First of all, it’s pink perfection and secondly, if sugary treats are good enough for Buddy then they’re good enough for us. ‘Cos Christmas cals don’t count right?
Here’s what you’ll need..
INGREDIENTS:
Pink Lemonade (cloudy works best)
Vanilla ice cream (flavoured sorbet works well too)
Vodka/Grapefruit Gin/Elderflower liqeur (optional)
Sherbet/Kali
Edible glitter, fizzy laces, hundreds and thousands-anything pink!
METHOD:
– Pour pink lemonade into a tall glass either straight or mixed with your favourite tipple and a sprinkle of sherbet.
– Delicately top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
– ·Add the finishing touch with your selection of toppings for a drink worth celebrating.
TIPS:
Anything sugary will cause your lemonade to bubble and foam. The bubbles are a real show stopper so serve quick and have your insta at the ready!
Now you’ve got the basics of a boozy ice cream float you’ll be trying your new favourite combos over the holiday season for sure!
Don’t get us wrong, most weekends, we’re ‘out out’ and love nothing more than dressing up in our best OOTD and spending an hour perfecting our brows.
But a chilly winter’s night sometimes calls for onesies, Netflix and hot chocolate. Once you’ve had one hot chocolate you’ve had them all right? Nope!
It can’t get much better than this indulgent cocoa, blended with Oreo cookies. It’s TDF!
Here’s what you’ll need;
4 Oreos (we used chocolate, but mint is also the one)
250-300ml milk (enough to fill your mug)
3 large dessert spoons of mini marshmallows
Squirty cream
2 heaped dessert spoons of cocoa powder
Toppings of your choice
Here’s how to do it;
– Blend all your ingredients together minus your toppings, 1 Oreo cookie and your whipped cream.
– Gently heat the mixture in a pan. Be careful not to overdo it.
– ·Serve in a large mug (if only bottomless mugs were a thing!)
– Top with whipped cream, an Oreo for dipping and anything else you fancy, it’s nearly Christmas after all.
Top tips;
– Adding marshmallows creates a S’mores affect. YUM!
– · Don’t want a hot drink? Blend with ice cream instead for the perfect cookies and cream shake.
That’s your next girls’ night in sorted!
