Cocktail Menu ;)





Since my friend Kunal thinks my blog has become more of a menu card now a days... I thought of taking this as a compliment and sharing some of the cocktail and mocktail recipes I learnt so far.
So here it goes...


The first one is a SCREWDRIVER !!!
As the name suggests this drink can act as a screwdriver and loosen the nuts of your brain..! :p


All you need to make this drink is :
45ml vodka, 
120ml fresh orange juice, 
A teaspoon lemon juice 
Some soda if u like your drink fizzy.


Mix the vodka, orange juice and lemon juice in a mixer. Pour the mixture in a glass over lots of ice and add some soda to make your drink more refreshing.


VIRGIN PINA COLADA for some reason has always been my favorite mocktail. Its an easy to make drink and pineapple has never tasted better then it does in this drink.


Ingredients are:
60ml coconut milk
120ml pineapple juice
Soda (optional)


Simply mix the coconut milk and pineapple juice in a mixer. Pour on top of ice, garnish it with a cherry and a slice of pineapple, and a dash of soda to make it fizzy.
To convert this drink into a cocktail just add 45ml of rum to the mixer with the other ingredients.


Long Island Iced Tea, due to a high concentration of alcohol is a very strong drink.


The ingredients are:
15ml Gin
15ml Rum
15ml Tequila
15ml Triple sec
Lemon cordial
Splash of cola or soda


Mix all the ingredients except for soda in a mixer. Pour it in a long glass filled with ice and garnish it with a lemon slice.


"Sex in the City" may have made the COSMOPOLITAN famous, but this cocktail was always cool.




What you need is:
30ml Vodka
15ml Triple Sec
15ml Fresh Lime Juice
15ml Cranberry Juice

Mix all the ingredients and pour it a Martini glass with a strip of orange peel on the rim.



CALIFORNIA SMOOTHIE is a very yummy drink for winters and very simple to make.


All you need is:
1 Banana, peeled and sliced
1 cup Strawberries
1/2 cup Dates
4 1/2 tsp Honey
250 ml Orange Juice


Mix all the ingredients till it becomes smooth and it pour in a long glass filled with ice cubes.


If you like the taste of a MARGARITA, you’ll love this frozen version.


Ingredients:
120ml Tequila
60ml Triple Sec
90ml sweetened Line Juice


Mix all the ingredients in a blender and pour it in a margarita glass over some ice.




I hope you enjoy making these drinks..!!!
