Lolli’s Friday Feast — Week Three
Warm up with Week Three of Lolli's Friday Feast — a hearty Tex-Mex chilli, a creamy onion dip drizzle, and a crisp citrus gin pairing. The ultimate cosy winter night in.
Week Three of Lolli's Friday Feast is here, and it's bringing bold, cosy Tex-Mex comfort straight to your table. Built around our Tex-Mex Chilli Mix, this week's feast layers warm spices, rich tomato, and hearty beans into a bowl that's made for winter nights in. A savoury Onion Dip Mix sour cream drizzle adds creamy depth, and we've paired it all with a bright, refreshing Botanik Citrus Gin & Soda to balance the heat.
Colourful, satisfying, and easy to pull together — here's everything you need for this week's feast.
Tex-Mex Chilli (Made the Easy Way)
There's nothing complicated about this one — just a warm, hearty, flavour-packed chilli made exactly to the packet instructions using our Tex-Mex Chilli Mix.
Serve it up in a big bowl with a crusty roll on the side for the ultimate winter comfort meal.

Onion Dip Mix Sour Cream Drizzle
This is the finishing touch that takes your chilli from great to unforgettable — a savoury, creamy drizzle that lifts every Tex-Mex flavour in the bowl.
Method:
- Mix 1 cup sour cream with 1 tbsp Social Eats Onion Dip Mix.
- Thin with a splash of water until it reaches a thick but smooth, drizzle-able consistency.
- Spoon generously over your Tex-Mex chilli.
- Top with corn chips and grated cheese for crunch and extra indulgence.

Drink Pairing: Botanik Citrus Gin & Soda
Bright, crisp, and refreshing — this is the perfect match for Tex-Mex spice.
Why Citrus Gin works:
- Cuts through the richness of the chilli
- Refreshes your palate between bites
- No added sweetness, so there's no clash with savoury spices
- Soda keeps it light and food-friendly (swap in a lighter Mediterranean Style Tonic if you prefer)
Method:
- Fill a glass with ice.
- Add 30–45 ml Botanik Citrus Gin.
- Top with soda or tonic.
- Finish with a lime wedge, if desired.
