Percy Pig cocktails are perfect Bank Holiday treat - and they're so easy to make

Lockdown might have been extended for another three weeks, we might all be really fed up of our own homes, but at least the internet always has some fun new task for us to have a go at.

No, we're not talking about those bizarre challenges that have seen people purposefully wetting themselves, we're talking about making cocktails, obviously.

And the latest recipe doing the rounds online features everyone's favourite Marks & Spencer snack - Percy Pigs.

If you love alcohol and sweets then this is probably going to be the perfect thing for you and the best part is, it's really simple to make.

The pink drink was first shared on Instagram by @emmascakesandcocktails.

Emma is using the account to post everything she's been making during lockdown - including a Percy Pig cocktail, which she calls The Pigtini.

In her post, she explained how to whip one up, writing: "The perfect drink for how I’m feeling just now.

"This is more of a dessert than a drink, but so so good!"

She added that the drink could be adapted, to be made into a sweet mocktail for kids.

To make it, she puts four to five strawberries in a blender, along with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, a handful of ice, a tablespoon of Percy Pig sauce and two shots of Tequila Rose.

Next, Emma blends all the ingredients together.

To serve, she decorates a Martini glass by swirling more of the Percy Pig sauce in it, before pouring in the mixture and garnishing with Percy Pig sweets.

Voilà, one pretty pink cocktail.

People on Instagram were really impressed with the creation.

"That looks tasty," replied one user.

Another said making it was "a must".

"OMG," proclaimed a third.

Someone else added: "Holy smokes!"
