'I’ve also been dropping some to my family and neighbours by leaving them on their doorstep.'
With the help of her 14-year-old brother Lee, Georgia has posted ten how-to guides for her delicious cocktails - which include classics such as strawberry daiquiri along with more adventurous flavours of frozen Vimto decorated with tangy sweets.
She said: 'I just enjoy coming up with different ideas. I love going out for cocktails with the girls and I’m really missing it during lockdown so I thought I’d try my own.'

Revealing how she develops her flavour combinations which serves one to two depending on glass size, Georgia added: 'I just think of my favourite drinks and flavours and I just try to make them into a cocktail by adding the basics - my mum is loving them!'
Georgia, who is living at home with her parents Paula and Harry along with brother Lee, said it takes just five minutes to whip up the cocktails if she is not filming, but added uploading them to Instagram and TikTok is more time-consuming.
Speaking about her favourites, she continued: 'They’re all quite easy to make and put together.

'I don't know which one I want first,' wrote one, while a second penned: 'Need to make me one of these after lockdown is over.'
