Few stylish ladies sparkle like Ms Kylie Minogue and we at Style Towers are massive fans of the pint sized pop princess

And we're not the only ones William Chase, founder of Chase Distillery has created a cocktail just for Kylie, inspired by 'Pink Sparkle' the singer's latest fragrance.

'Kylie's Kocktail' consists of: 2 Parts Chase Vodka, 1 Part White Peach Liqueur, 1 Part Pink Grapefruit Juice, Fresh Raspberries, Fresh Pineapple, Top up with Rose Champagne. Then to add the sparkle - take a handful of Raspberries and muddle them with some finely chopped pieces of pineapple.

Add White Peach liqueur and Chase Vodka. Add ice and then shake. Strain into a chilled martini glass and top up with Rose Champagne.

A few of those down you and chances are you'll be able to dance around in teeny tiny gold hotpants too. Or you will think you can....
