Royal Strawberry Fizz – Fusion’s Cocktail of the Month

Banish those Winter blues with a decadent twist on a champagne cocktail as once again, the Fusion team managed to do what they do best and accomplished the very difficult task of tasting some more cocktails to see what our favourite is for this month. 

We will be testing more cocktails at our Christmas Shopping evening, 39 Molesworth Street, Wadebridge, Cornwall, on 29th November – 5 till 8pm when we will be handing our customers delicious cocktails and canapés as well as giving them 20% of all purchases on the evening. If you like shopping and cocktails like us then come and visit too.    

Now here’s the recipe:

November: Royal Strawberry Fizz

1. Muddle 4/5 strawberries
2. Add 20ml vodka
3. Squeeze 1/2 lime
4. Fine strain into flute
5. Top with prosecco or champagne and garnish with strawberry

Such an easy and quick cocktail to create, making it perfect for pre party drinks with the girls, so why not give it a try!

Walk On The Wild Side This Winter!

Animal print has long been regarded as a trashy and tacky print – Bet Lynch’s fashion faux pas are primarily to blame!  But this Autumn/Winter 2013 things are changing and leopard print is returning in a fabulous way!

Leopard Print was featured heavily in London Fashion Week 2013 with sexy and sophisticated designs! Ensuring animal motifs are now statement pieces in most people’s wardrobes, Fusion’s Wardrobe www.fusionswardrobe.co.uk being one of them!

There are prints to suit everyone! From classic tiger and leopard prints to the recent introduction of pop art leopard prints. This is an innovative twist on the iconic motif as colours are being introduced with enthusiasm.

It is a great way to update and create some interest in a simple look! For example adding a statement motif to a monochrome piece you are creating a simple, smart, stylish outfit that is cutting edge and most importantly getting away from that garish out dated view of the print.

Accessories are the most simple way to add the print to your outfit! So, for example accessorise with some leopard print boots or bold scarf. But remember - Never over do it! Or keep it simple and keep warm with a single piece of bold leopard clothing, for example this stylish bold Saint Tropez leopard sweater available in Fusions wardrobe. http://www.fusionswardrobe.co.uk/shop/women/knitwear/STK2517_Saint-Tropez-Leopard-Sweater.aspx                           

How to wear it? What to wear with it? Is less more? How do I know? No need to worry all your questions can be answered here! For a little inspiration look below!
