KOPPARBERG TROPICAL RUM PUNCH Has quite a strong strawberry flavour, which isn't tropical to me, and a strong alcohol taste despite being 5%. With these kinds of drinks, I don't think you should really taste the alcohol, that's the beauty of a fruity cocktail. #cocktails #cocktailSky

NIO CHRISTMAS IN MANHATTAN Not my cup of tea, basically a Manhattan with a touch of creme de cacao. Maybe I'm biased, I don't really like whisky outside a sour. #cocktails #cocktailSky

NIO WINTER SIDECAR So simple you could easily make it yourself (I'm pretty sure it's just brandy and triple sec) but this is very drinkable. I've been impressed with Nio so far. #cocktailSky

NIO APPLE RUM PUNCH Not bad, it's got a decent ABV and a perfectly acceptable taste. Christmas cocktails are arguably an abomination, but can also be quite tasty. #cocktails #cocktailSky

WHITEBOX SQUEEZY'S MARGARITA Now *that's* a cocktail. A real Margarita in a can. Sure, it's not as fresh as the real thing, but it's the closest I've come to in a can. #cocktailSKY

M&S SMOKED PINEAPPLE DAIQUIRI I don't know whether I like it or it's just overpowering me, but it's certainly something. Not a daiquiri, the main flavours are pineapple and smoked whisky, but this is certainly a cocktail. Served with a slice of pineapple this would definitely impress. #cocktailSky

FUNKIN' LIME MARGARITA I don’t know why you would feel the need to infuse a margarita with nitrogen, but it’s a very easy drink, helped by the fact it’s only 5%. In my opinion, it's not really a cocktail though, it's a cocktail-flavoured alcopop!

A can of Funkin' Lime Margarita. It's says, "infused with nitrogen for a velvety texture and a smooth head"

I'm just so happy for them

M&S MOJITO Not very nice. I think maybe I don't like Mojitos, but there's no acid and the mint flavour is really artificial.

The CAIN thrillers, starting with THE FLORENTINE A series of fun, tense, break-neck thrillers about a retired CIA agent who keeps getting himself into trouble, then having to get himself out of it. The *perfect* book for your dad. Nuff said. #books #christmas #presents #booksky #booklover

THE FORBIDDEN ZONE At a summer camp in rural Sussex, something evil is hiding in the woods. Two best friends must face it together. Perfect for lovers of Stephen King, this is a great book for any friend you've known since childhood. #books #christmas #presents #writing #booksky #booklover

THE BENEVOLENT DICTATOR A novella about power, politics, and the lies we tell ourselves. Perfect for the cousin or brother who loves to read "proper" books about weighty subjects. It's a smart book for smart people, but one they won't have read before. #christmas #presents #booksky #books

The BRIGHTON'S NO.1 PRIVATE DETECTIVE trilogy Raymond Chandler-esque hard-boiled detective stories set in present-day UK. Perfect for the angsty teen in your life who wants cool books full of swear words, sex, and violence, with a hero who doesn't give a fuck about anyone. #christmas #booksky

MOTH ESPRESSO MARTINI Not very nice at all, just tastes like drinking neat coffee liqueur. I've been really disappointed with MOTH so far. #cocktailSky

Tom Trott @tomtrott.com · 23/11/2024

M&S WHISKY SOUR Very drinkable. More of a whisky lemonade because the first ingredient is carbonated water. For that reason it lacks the punch of a real whisky sour (possibly my favourite cocktail), but still nice. Would be great at a party. #cocktailSky

Tom Trott @tomtrott.com · 20/11/2024

Ditto. I actually bought a 2 pack of their Welsh boxer briefs this week. They're great.

MOTH MOJITO I really wanted to like this, but I didn't. I can't say it tasted particularly of mint or lime. There's just zero freshness to it, sadly it tastes very manufactured.

Tom Trott @tomtrott.com · 09/11/2024

SERVED MARGARITA Very nice. Lovely tequila flavour. Could do with more acid (no surprise), but pleasantly surprised. It's not a proper margarita but it scratches the itch. #cocktailSky

Tom Trott @tomtrott.com · 08/11/2024

Very easy to drink, but lacks the acidity that fresh lime juice brings to a Mojito #cocktailSky

Tonight's offering is a Whitebox Straight Up Daiquiri. On the surface, Whitebox seem to be the only company making proper, full-strength cocktails in a can. This drink is a proper lip-smacker! Probably something you could make easily enough at home, so is it worth the price? That's up to you.

The daiquiri poured into a frosted coupe glass with a lime wheel.

I need 26 pre-orders in the next 7 days to double the pre-orders from my last book. If you can spare 99c (or 77p) and like "straightforward spy hero fun, ideal for thriller fans as an uncomplicated, adrenaline-fuelled summer beach read" then consider pre-ordering VAMOS! tomtrott.com/pre-order
