To help you join in with the upcoming #FridayNightCocktails on the 15th April, we’ve compiled the ingredient list in two formats:
- Separate ingredient lists for the four cocktails we’ll be making, but without quantities or the cocktail names.
- Combined the ingredients into an alphabetical list so as to not “give the game away”.
We’ve hidden the two lists behind toggles so you can choose which list you want to use; this is a new method and we’d appreciate feedback on how well you think it works.

There can be quite a few spirits used each time we do a Friday night cocktails, but the same spirits are generally used over and over again. Strong spirits like whiskey, gin, vodka and so on will last months to a year or two once opened (how long will depend on how often the bottle is opened.
Fortified wines such as dry and sweet vermouth, port and Dubonnet will keep for a few weeks before deteriorating. If stored in the fridge, dry vermouth will be good for about four weeks, sweet vermouth and Dubonnet for two months and port for up to three months.
