Instead of gathering your friends around the TV to watch the British entry be awarded nil points, why not support the more light hearted entry from Russia; Buranovskiye Babushki (The Buranovo Grannies).
They will be singing for their country on May 26th and you can support the delightful bunch by voting for them on the night and raising a toast with Russian Standard Vodka. Not only will they be singing for Russia, these sweet Babushkas are singing to raise money to build a church in their village – could there be a better reason to vote Russia?
Why not mix up some of the delicious Russian Standard Vodka cocktails below to keep the Eurovision night going?
