The trouble with whisky in cocktails

Whisky cocktails may not be plentiful, as whisky doesn’t play nicely with other ingredients. However because we like it, we work hard to find great cocktails based around whisky. Here are some of our favourite recipes and finds. To help you celebrate Burns Night.

Casino night – themed cocktails

How about cocktails at your themed party? We’ve been to a Casino and cocktail night in Leicestershire and recently we provided cocktails in Northamptonshire for a ‘Girls night in’ where the party hostess also booked a make-up artist to come along. Themed parties with cocktails to help get your guests in party mood.

Cocktail news views from us on Facebook

Cocktail Shaker Boys puts all the goings-on and party shennanigans on our Facebook page. Less about the business than our website we’re keen to share with you our new recipes, great cocktails we’ve tried, pics of parties we’re run and generally what we’re up to. We try to keep it relevant so nothing about what we’re having for breakfast, or that we’re feeling emotional. None of that
