Alcohol can be addictive if abused, and over-use may lead to chronic health problems. Don’t over-indulge, don’t drink and drive and don’t encourage or allow your guests to do so. While we are at it, don’t operate machinery after drinking alcohol either.

Well-made cocktails can taste deceptively low in alcohol. Most cocktails contain between 1½ to 3 shots (37.5ml – 75ml) of distilled or other liquor, which can be up to 40% alcohol.

Guidelines for use by a normal, healthy adult advise no more than three units of alcohol per day for a man, or two for a woman. 1 unit of alcohol is the equivalent of 1 shot (25ml) of 40% liquor, or a glass of 12% wine, or a glass of 5% beer. Alcohol is especially harmful to pregnant women, and should never be taken by anyone who is also taking drugs, medication or who is receiving psychiatric treatment.

Exercise extreme caution when making drinks, especially when shaking, muddling, using blenders, knives and flamed drinks or garnishes. Always make sure you have a colleague standing by to help if things go wrong

Enjoy your cocktails responsibly – they taste better that way!
