I rarely drink. Probably once every 4 months, if that, but here are some of my favorites:I've been wanting to try new drinks. Never been a fan of alcohol for the sake of it, but something more fruity mixed in.
What are your cocktail favorites and recipes?
I rarely drink. Probably once every 4 months, if that, but here are some of my favorites:
-Crown with Ginger-ale on ice, squeeze of lime, grate a small amount of ginger, stir. Crystallized ginger sugar on the rim.
-Blueberry vodka, strawberry simple syrup, squeeze of lime, ginger beer, and fresh blueberries over ice.
-Deep Eddy Tea Vodka, pear liquor, lemon juice, agave nectar, with rosemary infused lemonade.
-Blend cucumber with lemon and lime juice, and a few teaspoons of sugar. Strain out pulp leaving only the juice.
Slice a serrano pepper and place in a shaker with a few ounces of the cucumber juice. Muddle the peppers to draw out flavor, then pour over the rest of the juice and fill with ice. Add tequila and triple sec and shake. Add lemon lime soda and stir. Tajin on the rim of the glass.
-Coconut rum, cranberry juice, orange juice, sprite over ice, stir.
-Strawberry vodka, watermelon liquor, cranberry juice, sprite over ice. Stir. Strawberry pop rocks on the rim (for a touch of nostalgia and whimsy).

I created a cocktail that I call The Cosmonaut
1 jigger / 1.5oz / 44.5ml each of the following:
Serve over ice.
- Ciroc vodka or other French grape-derived vodka
- Cointreau
- limeade
- cranberry juice cocktail
- Fresca or other no-sugar carbonated grapefruit soda
It’s related to the Cosmopolitan. You won’t much taste the alcohol, so be careful! Each drink has 3oz / 89ml of distilled spirits.
edit: was a huge hit when I debuted it...for both women and men. I served it at a work Christmas party and fun was had by all.
Cheers,
Ian

I like it on crushed ice
Yuuum. If you like Tequila Rose, you'd like this.
What is cointreau?
View attachment 85884 A variation on the aviation cocktail:
A shot of creme de violets, three shots of vodka, a shot of maraschino cherry liqueur, shaken with ice.
I've served it to a couple of girls, and they love it's purple colour, and can't stop talking about how it's strong, but has such a gentle interesting after-taste.
It is lovely to look at.View attachment 85884 A variation on the aviation cocktail:
