Cocktail Friday: Kiwi lemongrass Caipiroska
Cocktail Friday broadcast is going out slightly later than usual today. Busy day busy, busy day All the more reason
This is another super easy cocktail which doesn’t call for a shaker and only one spirit – vodka. If you happen to somehow have Kiwi Schnapps in your cupboard feel free to add some but I can’t say I have ever come across anyone who does…
