I'm shaking all over!
Yes, it's quite true.

I've made smoothies for Cooper since he was a weaning baby, but making milkshakes is a new craze in this house.
Earlier this month I shared my Chocolate and Avocado Super Shake with you and today over at Baby Centre I shared the Top 10 Milkshakes for Babies and Toddlers, although to be fair they are perfect for most adults too.
Today's fresh shake is mango and apricot with a pinch of spice. I used frozen mango chunks and a tin of apricots in juice that I was getting sick of looking at in the cupboard. I think a PR sent them to me when I was trying out a recipe for them and they have sat there glaring at me accusingly ever since.
If you are wondering about the fat lump on that straw, it's a banana pop. Never heard of them? Cooper has a post where he shows you how to make them with step-by-step photos, if you're interested.

Now for a more adult drink.
It's my hubby's birthday today and Waitrose kindly sent me some Champagne to celebrate as well as some birthday pieces. I decided to make him a Ginger Mango Champagne Cocktail, but it didn't go to plan.
I whizzed up some fresh mango with apple juice and then I topped it with some ginger beer and some champagne.

Hey ho, we'll just have to drink the rest straight!
If you want to make a rather more successful champagne cocktail, head over to Waitrose where there is a collection of Champagne recipes that won't go wrong. They also have a selection of Champagne recipes for savoury dishes and desserts that would be perfect for Valentine's Day.
Disclosure: Waitrose sent me some Champagne, party accessories and a photo frame for Graham to enjoy on his birthday. I was not required to write a positive review and any opinions expressed are my own.
