Ehhez nyújtunk most segítséget évvégi könnyed angol leckénkkel: bemutatjuk néhány népszerű koktél elkészítését angol videóval, amiket szívesen szürcsölgetnek a világ számos pontján és hazánkban is: itt van a híres Sex on the beach, az ütős Lond Island vagy pedig a Mojito. Koktélozz Tom Cruise-zal és Velünk! Ezzel a bejegyzéssel kívánunk Boldog Új Évet minden kedves Olvasónknak! A következő évben is tartsatok velünk! ;-)
