Thirsty Tuesday
Since we are coming up on the one year mark of corona/quarantine/the never ending pandemic I figured it was a fitting time to share all my favorite cocktails that got me through those first months! Cheers!
Ginger Cosmo
A new twist on an old classic!
1.5 ounces vodka
1 ounce triple sec
1 ounce ginger liquer ( I use Domain de Canton)
Splash of cranberry
Squeeze of a lime
Shake it up and pour in a chilled martini glass
Basil Gimlet
A little sweet and super fresh!
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce triple sec
Fresh lime juice
fresh basil leaves (roll them up before putting them in the shaker to get all the flavor and aroma going)
Shake it up and top with a splash of soda water
Creamsicle
Tastes just like the ice cream, but with booze :-)
1.5 ounces vanilla vodka (I use Stoli)
1.5 ounces orange vodka (I use Stoli for this too)
Splash of simple syrup
A healthy splash of OJ
A heavy squeeze of whipped cream right into the shaker
Shake up vigorously and pour in a martini glass or over ice in a cocktail class. Top with an extra pop of whipped cream
Chocolate Raspberry Martini
The perfect after dinner drink- dessert in a glass
1.5 ounces raspberry vodka (stoli is my fave)
1.5 ounces godiva chocolate liquer
.5 ounces chambord
Shake and pour in a chilled martini glass, garnish with fruit
Pomegranite Martini
This picture is before I added the pomegranate liquer which is why its not pink!
1.5 ounces vodka (I use tito’s for this)
1 ounce pomegranate liquer (I use PAMA- its my fave!!)
.5 ounces triple sec
squeeze of a lime
Shake up and top with a splash of soda water. Add a spring of rosemary or basil for some extra freshness
