Raise a glass: ready-made tipples

Ready-made spirit-based drinks are an easy way to enjoy your favourite tipple without doing all the mixing yourself, says Rob Buckhaven

1 Getting Red-dy Smirnoff Vodka & Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice (£1.87, Asda) has a balanced berry tang.

Blagger’s guide Cranberries are good for your teeth, with compounds to prevent plaque.

2 Drink Pink Greenall’s Gin And Pink Grapefruit (£1.85, Tesco) has pumped-up fruit notes.

Blagger’s guide Pink grapefruit has a bitter-sweet, acidic flavour that cuts through the gin, making them
a perfect match!

3 Ginger Linger Bell’s Whisky With Ginger Ale (£1.85, Waitrose) hits a spiced high note.

Blagger’s guide During American Prohibition, ginger ale was used to mask the flavour of illegal, home-made gin.
