The Coronation is coming up soon, and if you want to make the most of the celebrations over the holiday weekend then you're going to want to whip up a cocktail or two.
We've got cocktails that'll sit nicely alongside any Coronation recipes you're planning on making. A classic Pimm's Cup always works well at a picnic or alongside a classic dish like Coronation Chicken, and we love the idea of serving a batch of Lemon Drizzle Margaritas alongside Coronation-themed bakes at an afternoon tea.
A jug of Triple Berry Sparklers or Bramble cocktails would make you very popular at a street party, or if you're planning a sophisticated dinner party to celebrate the big day then perhaps a tray of Classic Martinis or Clover Clubs would do the trick.
Whatever sort of celebration you're planning to mark the Coronation, we've got a cocktail recipe to match. Keep scrolling for 17 Coronation cocktail recipe ideas that'll knock your socks off.
