“I first saw this done in Sweden and I knew I'd have to try it out. These decorative, icy bottle coolers are an impressive way to keep your spirits chilling. ”
Cut the top off a 2-litre plastic bottle or carton, pop the bottle of vodka, gin, tequila or whatever you fancy in there.
Fill inside the plastic bottle with water then shove leaves, sprigs of herbs, holly branches and berries, and sliced citrus or zest all around the side.
Stand this carefully in the freezer and leave it for a few hours so everything freezes around the bottle.
When you're ready to serve it, simply run the sleeve quickly under a tap then slide the plastic off. You'll have a perfect ice wrap around the bottle to keep it cold for the night – and look gorgeous!
