What are your favourite cocktail recipe creations.

A couple of mine. The first one is my attept to recreate a cocktail I had in a local bar.

Orange and ginger old fashioned.

3 measures Bourbon/JD
1 measure Cointreau
2 measures Ginger Ale
1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
Couple of dashes Angostura bitters

Add everything to a large whiskey glass - stir together then add some ice (or preferably a large ice ball.)


Second is my own creation. It doesnt have a name, we just call it a ‘martini’ at home.

2 measues Vodka
2 measures Martini Extra Dry
2 measures Martini Bianco

Add to a cocktail shaker with loads of ice. Shake until ice cold. Strain into a cocktail glass. Add a cocktail stick with 3 cocktail cherries and stir.

I quite like a sea breeze https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Breeze_(cocktail...

4 cl Vodka
12 cl Cranberry juice
3 cl Grapefruit juice

[Teddy Lop]

Make a not dissimilar one myself:

Couple shots whiskey, Smokey black grouse is a good one for cocktails, or bourbon
Slug of blue Curacao
Juice of half a lemon
Dash of bitters
Agave nectar

Top with ginger ale.

Or mojito

Muddle brown sugar with mint in mortar and pestle
Lime juice
Rum, both.

I top with tonic, makes for a "murkier" drink than you'd get served but tastes good.

And jungle cocktail

Rum
Midori
Banana liqueur
Blue Curacao

Top with banana and coconut juice.

[NordicCrankShaft]

Midori Sour.

Double shot of Midori
Double home made sours mix
Ice
Top with soda water.

Mojito

1/2 lime cut into quarters, squeezed and thrown into glass then muddled with a few sprigs of mint.
double shot of lime sour mix,double shot of white rum (pref Havana club) top with soda.

The missus is well into her Aperol Spritz aswell.

[Kernowlokal]

colada

Best with cheaper ingredients, hence the name. We've tried it with good rums and it doesn't taste as good.

1 part spiced rum
1 part fake Malibu (I think it's called Coco bay in Aldi).
2 parts pineapple juice
2 parts lemonade

Vary the mixture to taste, but if you like coconut and pineapple, it's a winner.


Black Death

2 parts creme de cassis
1-2 parts vodka
2 parts apple juice
2 parts lemonade

Alcoholic ribena.



Berry Mojito

Punnet of strawberries
Punnet of raspberries
about 10-12 mint leaves
Juice of a lime
Sugar, to taste.

Chop up the fruit and mint and put all the ingredients into a saucepan with a little water, then simmer for 30-60 minutes. I then tend to leave the mix to cool overnight. When cool, put it through a blender until smooth, add to a large container, then add in white rum (up to you how strong you want to go), some mint leaves, a few chopped berries and soda water. I quite often make this one when we have big barbecues as it takes a bit of prep.
