FYBF – The Mocktail Edition

August 30, 2013 By: mamagrace7127 Comments

Fridges, I’ve pleasantly discovered, gottahelluva lot more cool (Do ya like what I just did there? Do ya? Do ya???)

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to the official launch of Samsung’s Sparkling Four Door refrigerator –  holding 890 litres in capacity, it’s the only one that features an in-built sparkling water dispenser, the first of its kind available through retail outlets in Australia.

Samsung Sparkling 3

And what goes with sparkling water?  Cocktails and mocktails, of course!

Carolyn of Desire Empire and I were side by side, getting a first hand try in making one.

Samsung Sparkling 1

And despite my lack of shaking skills, my raspberry vodka concoction didn’t turn out too bad!

    I’m a sucker for a pina colada – it might be quite nice without booze, I have to say I’ve never had a mocktail – GASP IN HORROR! I’m too lazy to make one 🙁 Loving all these vlogs Grace – very clever you are 🙂

    Having a few health issues and on a completely fluid diet at the moment. I like to call/think of my blended food as mocktails, if only they tasted as good.

    Those fridges look so cool, I would absolutely love one but sadly I don’t think our budget would ever stretch to one, too many other things that would trump it sadly!

    Looks like you had a lovely day!

    I was so disappointed not to be able to make it to that event. We are in the market for a new fridge and I want the biggest one we can fit in our kitchen. I’m soooo sick of our tiny freezer and not being able to stockpile dinners for the week ahead. When there’s four of us at home it is a constant battle for shelf space.
