I was recently chuffed to be contacted by The Hoopla to provide a canapé and drink recipe for their Happy Hour section.
I immediately knew that I wanted to do my Mini Vietnamese Pork Buns, which are so easy and unbelievably delicious, but which cocktail would go well with them?
Eventually, I settled on a summery watermelon daiquiri. They taste great and are such a pretty party drink – watermelon daiquiris immediately make you want to kick up your heels and throw your head back with laughter.
So here it is. Enjoy!
