The World Cup has dominated Summer 2014 to date, but while the Cup goes on we’re turning our attention to the glass!
Though we know many women are glued to the screen cheering on their pick in the office sweepstakes, it’s fair to say plenty of others are skipping the matches altogether and crying out for an alternative plan this weekend. Here’s where Centra come in.
Our pals at Centra have just launched their summer cocktails brochure. In store you’ll find everything you need to become a real mover and shaker in the drinks department, and the pleasant surprise is that it’s much easier on the wallet to be a cocktail connoisseur that you might have imagined!
So, save the taxi money and the nightclub entry fee, save your feet from the pain of heels and save your soul from a million pictures you didn’t want to be in anyway. Instead, do a ring around and get your girls over for a cracking night of fun, chats, comfy clothes and killer cocktails.

You’ll find everything you need to channel your inner Tom Cruise right here, but to get you started, here’s one of our favourite recipes from the collection.

- Centra Raspberry Punnet 125g – 1
- Centra Strawberry Punnet – 1
- Ginger Ale – 10 millilitre

A tall glass is perfect for this one!
Crush 2 strawberries and 4 raspberries in the glass until it is in a paste.
Add in the Zaconey and lemon juice. Fill the rest of the glass with ice and top it off with the ginger ale and stir well.
Garnish with a lemon slice and remaining berries.

It’s the perfect summertime treat, and though it’s quite simple to make, it looks so impressive that your pals will think of you as the ultimate domestic goddess. Wins all round!
