White Russian: £43.25 £31.70 at Amazon (save £11.55)
A White Russian is made with five parts vodka, 2 parts coffee liqueur and 3 parts cream – milk works best in the UK though, where we don’t sell half-and-half as readily. 

The drink is a smooth milkshake-like combo that goes down so easily. This bundle saves you money on some fairly premium ingredients for this simple cocktail – all you need then is the milk.
Caffe Borghetti Italian Coffee Liqueur: £21.75 £15.70 at Amazon (save £6.05)
Smirnoff Vodka: £21.50 £16 at Amazon (save £5.50)

Greener Lagoon: £72.98 £57.98 at Amazon (save £15)
I don’t actually know what this cocktail is called, I’ve been making it so long – it’s a twist on the Green Lagoon, but with the delicious Midori melon liqueur instead of Blue Curacao orange liqueur. Simply mix two shots of vodka, one shot of Midori, a splash of lime juice then fill to the brim with lemonade – with loads of ice, of course.
Midori Melon Liqueur: £36.99 £29.99 at Amazon (save £7)
Ciroc Premium Vodka: £35.99 £27.99 at Amazon (save £8)

Gin and Tonic with a twist: Various at Amazon
Gin and tonic is rightfully a classic drink – not a cocktail, as it only has two ingredients – but it’s always worth varying something up if you love it. Case in point, Amazon has loads of flavored gins – we’d recommend checking one out if you want to spruce up your G&T.

Hazelnut Dark and Stormy: £57.16 £45.60 at Amazon (save £11.56)
Frangelico may be best used to give a coffee a nutty and boozy kick, but it’s also a great way to spruce up a dark and stormy drink too (especially if you used spiced rum, though some prefer dark). To make this, muddle (or crush) some lime in a glass, then top it with a shot of Frangelico, three shots of ginger beer and some ice – then use a spoon to spread two shots of dark rum in a dark layer over the rest of the drink. There’s a knack to layering drinks in this way but it gets easier with practice.
Kraken Black Spiced Rum: £32.86 £24.30 at Amazon (save £8.56)
Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur: £15.99 £12.99 at Amazon (save £3)

Peanut Butter Old Fashioned: £32.15 £25.96 at Amazon (save £8.19)
When I saw Peanut Butter Whiskey on offer, especially at this discount, I knew I had to think of a drink for it, and a classic Old Fashioned is probably best (though you’re technically meant to use bourbon or rye whiskey). You make it by putting a cube of sugar in a glass and adding two dashes of bitters – mix it into a paste, add ice, then pour over the whiskey. The traditional drink uses a cherry and orange twist as the garnish.

Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey: £22 £16 at Amazon (save £6)
Angostura Bitters: £12.15 £9.96 at Amazon (save £2.19)
