The perfect cocktails to enjoy this summer holiday

What is a summer holiday without a drink in hand while sitting by a crisp blue pool?

Cocktails are a favourite amongst the Breakfast with Martin Bester team, which is why they shared their favourite cocktails to enjoy over the holidays.

Here is each team member's favourite holiday cocktail:

Philicity Reeken

Philicity Reeken likes things a little different, so she decided to share her own cocktail concoction.

Ingredients: 

• Frozen pineapple juice 
• mint leaves
• lime 
• vodka/ tequila 
• dash of soda

Method:

Mix it all together and hope for the best.

Xola Ntsinga

Old Fashioned

Ingredients:

• two tsp sugar syrup or one tsp granulated sugar
• one-to-two dashes bitters
• splash of water
• 60ml Whiskey or bourbon
• soda water (optional)
• orange slice

Method:

Put the sugar, bitters, and water in a small tumbler. Mix until the sugar dissolves if using granulated. Fill your glass with ice and stir in the whisky. Add a splash of soda water if you like and mix. Garnish with orange. 

Gerda de Sousa

Mojito

Ingredients:

• juice of one lime
• one tsp granulated sugar
• small handful mint leaves, plus extra sprig to serve
• 60ml white rum 
• soda water, to taste

Method:

Muddle the lime juice, sugar, and mint leaves in a small jug, crushing the mint as you go – you can use the end of a rolling pin for this. Pour into a tall glass and add a handful of ice. Pour over the rum, stirring with a long-handled spoon. Top up with soda water, garnish with mint, and serve.
