Happy weekend, and welcome back to 3-Ingredient Happy Hour, the weekly drink column featuring super simple yet delicious libations. This week we're pairing summery strawberries with one of my favourite citrus liqueurs around: Pierre Ferrand Dry Orange Curaçao.

3-Ingredient Happy Hour: Mango Rum Mimosa

Happy weekend, and welcome back to 3-Ingredient Happy Hour, the weekly drink column featuring super simple yet delicious libations. This week I'm feeling a Bellini-inspired beverage that's just a bit more tropical, a bit more booze-y, and bit more rum-y.

Unlike its violently blue, much sweeter cousin, dry curaçao is balanced and juicy with a nutty warmth and a nice bittersweet flavour. It's tasty enough to be enjoyed on its own, but I like pairing it with muddled strawberries and fresh lemon juice before pouring it over crushed ice for an almost slushy-like experience. Not only is it tasty, it's a great use for any berries that didn't make it into a pie.

To make it, you will need:

  • Strawberries (4-5 small or 2 large)
  • 60mL dry curaçao (do not get any other curacao for this drink)
  • 22mL fresh lemon juice

Muddle strawberries in a shaker and add all other ingredients, along with some ice. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds, and strain into a lowball 3/4 full of crushed ice. Garnish with lemon zest from your juicing lemon, squeezing the oils over the finished drink before placing the zest in the glass.

The Best And Fastest Alternatives To The NBN

While NBNCo would like us to all wait patiently for their trucks to roll along our streets and connect us to the national network, the reality is that a combination of impatience and mixed reports of network performance have many people considering the alternatives. While the NBN garners lots of attention and a connection to your home is mandatory, you don't actually have to use that connection. There are alternative services that mean you can sidestep signing up with the NBN/RSP combination. Here are some of the alternatives.

ATO Hotspots This Year – Do They Apply To You?

Every Tax Time, the ATO focuses on certain "hotspots" where taxpayers are prone – either accidentally or deliberately – to make errors. These are the areas it will concentrate its audit firepower on and for those who have made claims in areas which the ATO will be targeting, they can be a wake-up call both to ensure that you get it right this year and that you go back and check that you did it right last year.
