Every great cocktail tells a story. But for one couple, a signature drink captures the very essence of their family’s journey. Talented mixologist Harold Davis revealed that their romance began during a series of lively, vodka-fuelled nights out, where the pair first met and fell in love.

Fast forward to the conception of their twin boys, and vodka once again became part of the memory-making backdrop. 

The real inspiration for the cocktail, however, came 18 months later from an unlikely source: the toddlers themselves. Watching the twins eagerly devour their favourite yoghurt sparked a creative culinary idea.

Why not blend that rich, creamy texture with the spirit that started it all? By mixing smooth yoghurt with vodka and a few secret touches, a unique family cocktail was born. Today, it stands as a delicious, drinkable timeline of their relationship.

Vodka (60ml)

Oreo/Biscuit Crumbs- to garnish.

METHOD:

Begin by crushing a piece of an Oreo biscuit until it becomes fine crumbs. Rim a whisky glass with honey, then coat the rim with the crushed biscuit crumbs.

In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, honey syrup, drinking chocolate and yoghurt.

Add a few ice cubes and shake well until the mixture is smooth and chilled.

Carefully strain the creamy mixture into the prepared whisky glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with a piece of Oreo biscuit and sprinkle additional biscuit crumbs on top of the cocktail.
