As if the name of this cocktail alone didn’t have you picturing something utterly fabulous -it’s called Fabulous Gay Wedding after all – it then turns up in a glass adorned with fruit and a sparkler. This is a real shop-stopper of a drink, available at Chick N Sours, which has branches in London

At first sight, this cocktail – the Red Pepper – looks like a health drink.

It’s a beautiful cocktail befitting one of the capital’s most scenic bars – and makes for a great picture against the London skyline
