Cocktail of the week with Fabrizio Musoralla

Brandy Punch
Costumes, music, lighting and finger food: you might have already arranged everything for tonight’s party on the last day of Carnival, even the bar corner. I always suggest it is easier to decide early on what to serve. But maybe it’s not too late to add a little twist to your drinks repertoire with a cocktail punch. They’re always a success, easy to prepare and they look great in a punch-bowl to serve to your guests. Salute!

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
