Mix up a few ingredients, carefully, of course, and you may be up for moments of happiness. I love cocktails and am frequently asked which are my favourites. I cannot answer that – it would be like asking a mother to choose their favourite child – so for this article, I chose 10 Cocktails from around the world. (The photos aren’t great – look at the date of this post!)

Travel for me is all about the memories – the times shared with friends and family. Meeting for drinks is one of my favourite past times – and one I am particularly good at.

1. Mango and ginger Mojitos in the Maldives – perfect to watch the sunset.

Mango mojitos? Yes, please

2. Punch in London – going back in time is not a bad thing.

How fab do they look? And I can assure you, they were delicious.

3. A Kir Royale with a view in France. Because one needs to rest after skiing.

4. The perfect Gin & Tonic in Madrid. Because Gin tastes better in Spain (the glasses must have something to do with it).

This is what I call a gin & tonic

5. A very dirty martini in Beverly Hills. Where were you all my life?

Very dirty martinis... loved them!

6. The first summer Pimms of the season, at home in Henley on Thames. British summer in a glass.

7. A mango margarita in Mexico. The juice was freshly squeezed, which makes it count towards your 5-a-day, for sure.

8. Lychee caipirinhas in the Maldives. Possibly the best drink ever.

9. A glass of Taittinger on board. Because you know it will be a great flight.

(2019 EDIT: BA no longer serves Taittinger champagne. What a shame)

I got the window seat and the wall (just the way I like it)… and the bubbles too!
I am off for 8 hours. Do not disturb.

10. Vermouth at 11.30 am in Madrid. Would be rude not to partake in a national pastime.

Vermouth in Madrid, just go with it

Based on the memories, and the moments around each cocktail, I cannot help but smile – life is to be enjoyed with people you love and make you happy.

Which shared moment comes to your mind? And where? Would love to know!

Why is hiring a car such a painful part of the travel experience?

I missed seeing water so so much. And today we had our first hint of a beautiful spring day. Absolutely glorious.
Which Mille crepe flavour? Vanilla or chocolate? Have you tried them? Divine 🥰
One of my favourite meals in the world which takes me right back to #Portugal.
A very brief in and out of #Marylebone (for a medical appointment)- but lovely as always. It’s just all so odd - feels like a Sunday with shops closed. Traffic is not so quiet anymore - but I can’t wait for things and #London to return to what we knew and loved.

Fair to say it was a very cold but a gorgeous day in #London today, as witnessed by @champagne_and_travel on her ‘government approved daily walk’. And oh so quiet. Who else misses London? #lovelondon
My friend @anitapatrickson sent me this photo taken yesterday at De hoop nature reserve in the Western Cape, in South Africa. Absolutely stunning. I miss the beach so much. And the sound of the waves. You?
