Young Ladies About Town

A Royal stir
Are you eating/sleeping/breathing the Jubilee? Well, now you can drink it too.
The mixing maestros at The Botanist, in London's fashionable Sloane Square, have created a range of cocktails inspired by members of the Royal Family.
This week we were lucky to taste all the provocatively-titled tipples. Bitter and Twisted (The Camilla), Strong and Stoic (The Duke of Cambridge) and Ginger Nut (Prince Harry - who else?) were all delicious, but our favourites were those representing The Queen and The Duchess of Cambridge.
What's more, we managed to get hold of the recipes, so you can recreate them at home. Enjoy!
