The Dirty Dancer - Strictly Come Dancing Themed Cocktail Recipe
For those times when you’re watching Strictly and want something a little elegant to sip on. This is what you’re after.
I’m not referring to the Saturdays where you’re sat in your P.J’s covered in Wotsit crumbs. No no.
I’m talking about when you slip into something sparkly to watch Strictly. When you’re sat up and fancy something classy to sip on. This is the ballroom of cocktails. The Anton du Beke of beverages.
But also… it’s perfect for those times when the dancing gets a little saucier. You know what I mean, when the chemistry gets a little bit close during that Paso Doble…

Great For Making at Home
Most importantly and I’ve said it with all my Strictly cocktails. This is perfect for making at home.
No point having a delicious Strictly Come Dancing themed cocktail if you can’t make it at home on a Saturday night whilst watching Strictly. So relax, because this is going to be a breeze to make!
Dirty Dancing on Strictly Come Dancing
What’s in a name?
Like I said, this cocktail is inspired by those elegant dirty dances on Strictly such as the Argentine tango. In-fact, if you were to pair this drink with just one dance, it’s that. The Argentine Tango.
Hence the name - The Dirty Dancer. Not to be confused with the movie dirty dancing.
Dirty Dancing Movie
That being said I’m sure someone out there thinks I meant dirty dancer as in the movie dirty dancing.
Which hey, you can use it for a Dirty Dancing party or movie marathon. It works. Maybe just add a little watermelon juice in there. If you know, you know.
The Strictly Pack
Okay so I’ve mentioned it enough, time to talk about that Strictly pack I’ve been banging on about.
The reason I’m doing this in the first place is because every year I spend my Saturday locked indoors watching Strictly and every year I make it more and more of an event. Each week with drinks and games. Almost like a mini Strictly party every Saturday for 13 weeks.
This year I’m putting all of those props, games, and drinks into a pack which you can get so you’re able to have your own mini Strictly Saturday’s every week.
