Resident Joyce Randall, 75, was delighted with her personalised cocktail called strawberries and cream martini.
She said: “I always loved to have as a special treat of strawberries and cream on my birthday or for special occasions when I was younger, and to this day whenever I have strawberries it always brings back those happy memories for me."
Homemaker Sharon Kendall added: “I talked to Joyce about some of her favourite memories and these conjured up happy thoughts around family and summertime when the strawberries are at their best.
“We had a very happy day and enjoyed sharing our stories and the cocktails were a superb treat.”
