But this one might be your new go-to.
Mum-of-two Eleanor Tracey, 40, an office manager from London, has shared her genius hack for an easy bellini.
Rather than faffing about with buying syrups and purees, Eleanor adds baby food to prosecco to craft a delicious cocktail.
Yep, baby food. Stay with us, we’re not talking about mashed up carrots.
Eleanor was at a friend’s house for dinner when she came up with the trick, squeezing some Ella’s peach pouches into glasses of prosecco to make a tasty treat.
Eleanor said: ‘I had a very rare night off from mummy/work/wife duty to hang out with some other mum friends and moan about work, kids, lack of sleep, never having any us time and we thought we would use Ella’s peach pouches to pimp our Prosecco and make some Bellinis – we have named them Ellinis.
‘We all thought it was a brilliant and hilarious idea – it turns out we’re not the first people to use these in alcoholic drinks and we certainly not be the last.
Replicating the drink is as simple as it sounds: Pour a glass of prosecco, squeeze in some Ella’s Kitchen peaches – which are just pureed peach and a dash of lemon juice – and you’re done.
Since then Eleanor has also made strawberry vodka cocktail using the strawberry pouch puree, vodka, tonic water, sugar syrup and mint and is planning to try pear martinis on the next mums night.
She added: ‘I am always up for finding more cost effective and time saving tips and tricks to help make being a working mum easier so I can spend more time with my kids.
‘Shopping to a menu saves money, doing a food menu means the husband can start cooking if he gets home there is no excuse he doesn’t know what’s for dinner, batch cooking at weekends saves time on a work night, washing up liquid is great for stains pre -wash, always take snacks/picnic saves hanger tantrums and a small fortune on last minute snack shops, put a picnic blanket on the sofa when potty training save any accidents on your expensive sofa.
‘The best old wives tale is when your kids have a cough at night chop an onion in half and put it in a bowl under the head end of the child’s bed and this stops them coughing.’
After the smart idea to use baby food to get tipsy, we’ll do whatever Eleanor says.
