Want To Impress (WTI) presents… The Seven Deadly Sins Masquerade Ball, Saturday, December 5, 2009. WTI will transport you back to Venice circa 1650, tantalising each of your senses, in the opulent surroundings of Close House (www.closehouse.co.uk).

WTI will make this a night to remember whether you want to test your greed at the old-style gambling tables, sample the delights of pampering or just simply party with the resident or special guest DJ. WTI will ensure there is something going on to delight you.

To whet your appetite, I demonstrate how to make one of the many amazing cocktails which will be on
offer – the Masquerade Martini.

25ml Chambord
