We're doing carnival cocktails to celebrate Notting Hill carnival on Something for the Weekend this week and I'll be making some rum cocktails. In the meantime, check out my ultimate rum punch formula:

I'll be popping into the Â鶹Éç Food Q&A blog from time to time with tips and techniques for making fabulous cocktails. In the meantime, have you made any rum cocktails that you'd like to share here? What carnival food and drink makes your party go with a swing?

My OH uses one we found printed in a newspaper years ago and it's now lost so has to be mixed from memory only. I think it was said to be Richard Burton's recipe, so it wasn't for lightweights and I know it contained both dry sherry and cream of horseradish as well as all the more usual ingredients.
Infact as it's anything but festival weather here, I'm enjoying one now to take away the pain of the downpour on a lazy bank holiday Sunday.
I can't say I'm so keen on cocktails when we're out they often disappoint.
My daughter had one last week, a Gooseberry and Lemon Thyme Bellini, it was awful. The puree had large pieces of gooseberry skin and all sank to the bottom of the champagne coupe it was served in, no straw or anything to keep mixing it with...not very good, especially at £9.50.
They weren't offering a classic Mojito or a frozen Margarita so I stuck to champagne as at least I could be sure what I was getting.

This is because unfortunately many programmes have broadcast rights restrictions which don't allow us to show content to people outside the UK. Also, broadband content is expensive for the Â鶹Éç to stream, so we have to give priority to people within the UK, who ultimately bear the cost of us doing this through their licence fee.
There's some more information here:
I'm sorry that we can't currently make this video available to people outside the UK.
