Autumn weekend cocktail recipes to try with Tattam’s
Last weekend I popped into my lovely local & Hobbs store located in the super pretty village of Shere nestling in the Surrey Hills, to have a bash at making cocktails with the fab cocktail pop-up Tattam’s Bar. They were surprisingly quick and easy to make (even for a duffus like me) so I thought this weekend this blog post should be more of a public service announcement imparting all we learnt right to your desktop, so that you can have fun with a little weekend mixology too and try these cocktail recipes.
