Polish Princess cocktail, inspired by Alexis Saint-Pete
Embracing the hyper-sexualised, the powerful, the intimidating, the standout divas of our generation, Alexis Saint-Pete (a contestant of season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK) crafted her drag persona from the female icons of early 2000s pop music.
Embracing the hyper-sexualised, the powerful, the intimidating, the standout divas of our generation, Alexis Saint-Pete (a contestant of season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK) crafted her drag persona from the female icons of early 2000s pop music.
Not a façade in the slightest, Alexis is all of those things, but her aesthetics and style of performing are just one side of this Polish sex siren. Alexis is a kind soul with a warm, loving nature and this was the inspiration behind the flavours in this sweet cocktail. She’s naughty, she’s nice, she’s a little bit Alexis!
