Sugarfree Paloma Cocktail – Tequila & Grapefruit

Sugarfree Paloma Cocktail – Tequila & Grapefruit

How about this Sugarfree Paloma Cocktail for the perfect summer drink.  It’s chilled, light and fresh and makes the perfect aperitif as it’s not too sweet – a delicious palate cleanser to prepare you for dinner.  I can’t drink cocktails with sugar in so this

Forest Fruit & Blueberry ‘Cheese’Cake

Heading to a hen party tomorrow, I wanted to make something a little bit special (but still healthy – so that I could eat it).  I’m not usually a huge fan of sweet things, and would always pick cheese over a dessert, but I knew
