Prepare the coffee beforehand and let it chill.

Ingredients
Method
Spread salt over a plate and rub the rim of each serving glass with the lime wedge. Dip to top of each glass in the salt to coat it well, then put the glasses in the fridge for 5 minutes or until chilled. Put the ice in a blender and pulse until crushed. Then add the Tequila, Cointreau and lime juice, and blend until just combined. Pour into your prepared glasses and serve immediately for an instant cool!

For the Cocktail:
Method
To make the peach purée, put the peaches, ice, lemon juice, and sugar into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add more sweetener or lemon juice as required. You can remove the peach skin if you like, but it’s not essential.
Make the Bellini
Pour the peach purée into a champagne flute and slowly top with sparkling wine while gently stirring to incorporate. If you fancy, decorate with a slice of peach. Serve and enjoy!
For tips on getting the perfect house for Christmas in Brisbane look no further than this season’s on trend Christmas décor.
Real Christmas trees, wreaths, decorative objects such as pine cones for your dining table or side tables…make your own or find them all through the shops this Christmas in Brisbane.
Decorative candles are massively on trend and work well with the natural décor look. Not only do they give your home a lovely warm feeling, even while the aircon is on full blast, they can also provide a beautiful seasonal scent.
Red and green are the traditional colours of Christmas, but a new colour hits the shelves every year and this year is blue! The blue colour trend brings sophistication and a modern spin on your traditional items. Blue and silver work especially well together.
2020 won’t be about minimalization, it’s all about maximalism! So, start early and make Christmas a feature of every room in your home!
And Christmas in Brisbane wouldn’t be complete without a playlist of wintery songs reminding you how lucky we are to celebrate Christmas in summer! Here’s our pick, in no particular order:
