Tanqueray Tiger Prawn Cocktail

There are only so many times that you can be caught reaching for the gin at 10am. Thankfully this time I was excused as I explained to my helper that the secret ingredient in any decent prawn cocktail is Mother's Ruin. Luckily she believed me. Click here for the recipe, which was my mother-in-law's, and serve it with your ripest avocados and your iciest iceberg lettuce, shredded, of course.

What you need:

1 ripe avocado

100g tiger prawns

2 tablespoons of mayonnaise

2 tablespoons of ketchup

1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice

Drop of Tabasco

Drop of Gin

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Pinch of salt

2 slices of buttered wholemeal toast.
