Our editor pretty much never drinks.  When she does, it's rum.  MALIBU with pineapple.   She doesn't like wine or beers or most other mixed drinks.  But, Quaint knows many others like to drink and try new mixed recipies so we've given you this cocktails page.  If you're going to have a dinner in with a special someone or some of your friends, come here first to see what quaint drinks we suggest you serve them. 

 

 

This first thing that cought our eye this year is PINK!

 

    

    Men: Girls have a new best friend that you should know about. If you want to win her heart this Valentine’s Day serve Pink - the sparkling wine that makes every occasion special.

Pop the cork to release the sweet aroma of strawberries and citrus fruit, pour a chilled glass of this glimmering rosé blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz and fall in love all over again. Finally, serve with fresh strawberries for the perfect Valentine’s evening.

Pink is soft ice pink in the glass and has a delicate bead. Distinctive Pinot Noir aromas of strawberries with a splash of citrus bubble under the nose develop into refreshing fruit characters of berry and lime, with a hint of lemon. Chardonnay flavours provide the backbone to this delightful and surprising wine.

Make the evening even more special with our Pink Elderflower Fizz cocktail:
