Fun and favourite camping cocktails and mocktail recipes

When it comes to camping cocktails, you don’t need the pretty glasses, or a swag of ingredients. Here are seven of my favourite recipes – perfect for summer! Each recipe makes one serve! Garnishes are optional, (unless you like it that way) and so are cocktail shakers as you travel. I don’t know about you, but I don’t camp with a food processor – so just use what you have. If you are after a mocktail, simply omit the alcohol or replace it with a non alcoholic spirit or bubbles. Also, if you want the cocktail to have

The Easiest & Quickest Seafood Recipe Ever

Thanks to Terry Conway for this recipe. He told us: “I am an enthusiastic cook, in and outdoors, we have a home-made Wok burner, pizza /bread oven, smoker etc. I make sourdough regularly, and I preserve our olives and make prosciutto etc.” And another tip from Terry: “Weber BabyQ is the bees’ knees, but make sure you put a chain on it!” IngredientsFresh green prawns or scallops (or both)Japanese Kewpie mayonnaiseOlive/avocado/peanut oilSkewersGas gun/blowtorch Method Skewer 2 or 3 prawns on each skewer so they lay straight.

San Choy Bau Recipe

San Choy Bau is one of those dishes my kids keep asking for again and again. It’s a great one for camping because the ingredients store easily (oyster sauce should be kept in the fridge), and you only need one pan. The same amount works as a starter for a large group (gem lettuce leaves work better for this) – or feed the family as an easy carb-free lunch. I normally use chicken mince but pork mince works well, too. It can be made ahead of time and reheated when you want it! Ingredients 1 packet dried shitake mushrooms

You can spend a weekend or see it in a day trip – just bring an empty belly – there is good eating and good camping to be had. Check this out online at https://cooloolafarmtrail.com.au/farm-trail/ This trail was on my priority trips, last year.
