As we head into the party season, there will be no shortage of festive cocktails and 10 ingredient mixers.
Supermarkets everywhere are offering miniature variations of your favourite wines and premixed beverages designed for a single drink – so when you say you are only going for one, you actually mean it.
They also come in particular handy for when you don’t want to open a whole bottle, or you are going to a festival, dining al fresco or have a long train journey that will be livened up by a mini tipple.
There are a huge variety of options on the market, so we have taken it upon ourselves to choose our favourites to minimise that post-night out regret.

The gin uses exotic botanicals like cubeb berries from Malaysia, coriander from Morocco and cardamom from India with natural fruit flavourings. In this single serving option, it is paired with a premium tonic and given a zesty orange twist.
