As the UK spends yet another weekend in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic, to help limit the spread of the killer bug, many will find themselves staying home.

If you’re one of those people and are looking for something fun to do, you could always have a go at whipping up a batch of cocktails to enjoy.

A recipe for one specific drink has been doing the rounds on social media over the last few days and it looks really tasty.

Dawn Brizio shared her recipe for an alcoholic version of Drumstick Squashies sweets.

Writing in a post on the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she said: “I love these sweets so much I created an alcoholic drink version.”

So what do you need to make one?

Dawn’s recipe features 35ml Apple Sours, 25ml Vodka, a dash of Apple Monin syrup, 25ml Cherry Sours and 20mls Cherry-flavoured Monin Syrup, plus ice and lemonade.

Once you’ve assembled all your ingredients you can start making the drink.

First, mix the Apple Sours with the vodka and apple Monin Syrup.

They’re simple to make

Once all of these are mixed together, blend with ice to form a slushie consistency.

Put some crushed ice in a glass and add the drink mixture.

If so desired, you can also decorate with actual Drumstick Squashies if you have some.
