Cocktail Hour

'Tis the season to pop open some bubbly & spend festive evenings sipping drinks you'd never think of ordering at any other time of the year.
Yes ladies, it's Cocktail Hour and what better way to make sure you're the belle of the ball than to match your jewellery with your drink?! If you're thinking that this may be an excuse for the PoM staff to try our favourite cocktails...you'd probably be right, but we're sharing the recipes too so there's festive cheer all round.
Check out www.pom925.com, exclusive to retailers, to see all of our collections.

1. Champagne cocktail - The first cocktail has to be a classic and it's so easy to make, no acrobatic shaking or throwing required. Simply pop a sugar cube in the bottom of a champagne flute, add a couple of dashes of bitters, then 20ml of cognac & finish with enough bubbly to fill the glass. Pop a strawberry or raspberry in too for some extra flavour!

We're pairing this with our Crystal Heart earrings, they're sparkly, stunning & perfect for the party season.

2. Strawberry Daiquiri - This cocktail is a favourite with the girls as its sweet fruity flavours mean that it won't take your head off. Mix 50ml white Rum with 20ml Lime juice in a large glass, add 25ml strawberry puree & 10 ml cane syrup. Give it a good shake and strain over crushed ice & there you have it.

Match your strawberry daiquiri with this coral rose necklace for maximum impact, this vibrant design is super comfortable & guaranteed to add a vintage twist to any outfit.

3. Long Island Iced Tea - The rich golden tones of an iced tea are the perfect match for gold, bronze & brass coloured jewellery. Mix equal quantities of vodka, rum, tequila, gin & triple sec. Add a dash of lemon juice, lime juice & sugar syrup then top up with cola for a refreshing & very alcoholic tea!

This large glass ring is the perfect friend to an iced tea & the colours couldn't be better matched.

4. Kahlua Black Cat - What could suit a little black dress more than the Kahlua Black Cat? Best served in a martini cocktail glass this is one classy drink but not for the faint hearted. Mix 2 parts Kahlua with 1 part vodka & add a shot of espresso for the perfect black cat. Serve with a vanilla pod for garnish and you've got yourself something very special!

One of these needs very little help standing out from the crowd so we'll be wearing little black stars for understated style.

5. Mojito Sparkler -This refreshing cocktail is guaranteed to put a spring in your step! Place a few fresh mint leave in the bottom of a tall glass & add a shot of rum, then 1/2 tsp sugar & a splash of lime juice. Top up with soda water & add crushed ice...easy!

Our lime green crinkle scarf is the perfect accompaniment to this zesty drink. The vibrant shades of green compliment eachother perfectly.


6. Betty Blue - This cocktail is such a fabulous colour, we can guarantee that everyone will want to taste this striking drink! Mix one park vodka with one part blue curacao, add a dash of lemon juice & top with lemonade. Put a black cherry in the glass if drinking martini style, or pour over cruched ice in a tall glass for a drink with less of a kick!

We've brought out our most vibrant, blue agate statement necklace to match this drink and it's bound to attract admirers.

7. Hot Buttered Rum - Now this is a winter cocktail to warm your cockles! Whether you're sat with a book in front of an open fire, or getting back home from a brisk winter walk, this hot cocktail will bring a glow to your cheeks.
Place a small knob of butter in a heatproof glass, sprinkle over some brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg & allspice to taste. Mix well to form a paste, add a shot of dark rum & top up with hot water.

Our burnt orange scarf is the perfect shade for this cocktail & is guaranteed to bring warmth to any winter outfit.

Our PoM cocktail evening is bound to be a very stylish & slightly alcoholic affair with all these to choose from, why not give some of these a try and let us know how you get on. Please share your cocktail recipes too, we love to try something new!
