| Six By Nico | The Forest

Last month Ciaran and I decided to treat ourselves to a Sunday date night and as usual head to our current favourite restaurant… Six By Nico.

I’m a bit late in getting round to posting this! By the time my post is live they will no longer be serving this theme, but I thought why not share it anyways!

As per the food and service was fab!

So without further ado let me introduce you to the last Six By Nico theme…

 

THE FOREST

 

Bramble Royale

Prosecco | Creme de Mure

 

| Boozy Bits | Wine Cocktail

The first weekend in November my Other Half and I took a trip up to the North East of Scotland to visit his family.  It was a fun filled long weekend consisting of plenty walks, food and of course booze…

While we were there my boyfriend put his cocktail making skills to the test. And he came up with a couple drinks to suit both mine and his aunties tastes.

His auntie is not much of a cocktail drinker as she only likes wine. But, this was just a fun little challenge for my partner as he rattled off a wine cocktail recipe he made up on the spot!

If you want a sneaky wee peek at what this contains and how to make, keep reading…

And so I’ve put together a wee list of my current fave winter warmers available at this present time…
