Born at the Boujis bar in Kensington, a favourite haunt of the young royals, the Crack Baby is a delicious blend of vodka, passion fruit puree, strawberries, Chambord and champagne. Light, sweet and extremely moreish.

Said to be Kate Middleton's favourite drink before she settled into motherhood, the Crack Baby has already built up quite a following! Served in a giant syringe, it doesn’t quite evoke the sophisticated royal image that you’d expect.

Cocktail Colin says:

5/5

The Crack Baby cocktail offers a tantalizing mix of sweet and tangy flavors, with the passion fruit juice and strawberries balancing the rich notes of Chambord and fizzy champagne. The vodka provides a smooth backbone, making it irresistibly refreshing and dangerously easy to drink.
