Bloody Mary Sundays and Clothes Swapping
The Cocktail Ponders of Miss
Bella-Rouge pt9
Primark To Prada- Macmillan
Clothes Swap
A few months ago some girlfriends
of mine came up with the idea of getting together and swapping clothes, we were
all feeling the money pinch yet we all had a tonne of clothes leftover in our
wardrobes that had never been used!
Here was born our evening ‘Primark
to Prada’. Hosted at Circo we decided to really go for it, getting sponsorship
from Brugal Rum’s, with all the proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer support.
Our very own specialist cocktail
menu was printed by Brugal (Maxxium Brands) and they donated a case of rum for
cocktails that people could make a donation towards on the evening.
Our menu consisted of a Clasic Brugal
Mojito,
A Macmillan Daiquiri- Made with home made Mate
Gomme (a South American Tea) and
A Double Brugal Mai Thai
Needless to say the menu went
down a storm and encouraged people to be generous with the raffle we did. We
had a tonne of prizes donated by local businesses and drinks companies which
was so generous. We had a local salon offering eyebrow threading and nail treatments alongside Anthony Milner from AKM Photography with a
mini studio ready to snap at the girls in their new found items of clothing and perfectly threaded eyebrows! Anthony
actually does great fashion shoots in their own Bath studio, and he even teams
it up with cocktail master-classes at Sub 13 in bath! https://www.facebook.com/fashionphotographeruk
In all we raised nearly £500 on
the evening and everyone went away with some great clothes and full of yummy
rum drinks!
Bloody Mary Sundays
I have recently decided that
Sundays are the day of the Bloody Mary. Cool, crisp and spicy beverages that
slip down so easily at Brunch with Eggs Florentine!
At Circo Bloody Mary Sundays have
taken off with the staff enthused by the complexity of ingredients you can use
to make a good Mary.
The name "Bloody Mary" is associated
with a number of historical figures — particularly Queen Mary I of England, who
was nicknamed as such in Foxe's Book of Martyrs for attempting to re-establish
the Catholic Church in Britain — and fictional women from folklore. Some drink
aficionados believe the inspiration for the name was Hollywood star Mary
Pickford. Others trace the name
to a waitress named Mary who worked at a Chicago bar called the Bucket of
Blood, however, we think our home grown bartenders’ recipes stand out from the
crowd….indulge in one of ours…or even build your own!

After trying them all, in a
vigourous tasting session, my favourite has to be the Ninja Mary. Although
Ninjas don’t consume any alcohol this cheeky mary hits you with salty celery
tones balanced with sweet cherry heering and sake. Its just gorgeous!
Try out your own measurements
