Help needed...Cocktails?

Question

I'm going to a BBQ on saturday and voluteered to do the Cocktails.

I need the recipies for about 1-5 of your favourite Cocktails,

Vodka, and a choice of 2 other spirits, any juices any other things like mint leaves etc.

I will serve the top 5 from this list but will need instruction on how to make them best.

Thanks s****..

Answer 1

There is a cocktail I discovered in Canada that is simple to make and delicious. You need Vodka and a can/bottle of Clamato juice. Clamato is a blend of tomato juice and the juice from clams (+ seasoning). Sounds awful but it's great! Mix one part vodka to four parts Clamato juice. Add Tabasco, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice. Mix in a cocktail mixer with ice. Serve with salt around the rim of the glass over ice and with a stick of celery. It's called a Bloody Caesar.

You can get Clamato juice in Waitrose if you live in the UK.

Excellent and refreshing!

Make a pitcher of Lipton Green tea (use the powder mix, it comes out better). Make a little stronger than it says. Pour however much vodka you guys like, and serve in a big glass over ice. Its great on a hot day.

1 - Bacardi Mojito -

You will need: 1 Bottle Bacardi, A few bottles of Soda water, about 5 limes (quartered), Mint leaves, Sugar (just the average you use in your tea) Lots of ice (crushed),some straws Pref a muddler but if not something to really mix the ingredients with.

What to do: take 3 quarter limes, 1 tbsp sugar, 10-12 mint leave sprigs and put them in your glass, take the muddler or something that will really crush it all up and crush away. You will need to really give it a good crush to release the lime juice and mint flavour. Take your spoon and mix the mixture all around so it is well blended and the sugar is all over the glass not just at the bottom.

Put in your ice, fill it about 3/4 to the top. then pour in the bacardi until it is about 1/2 - 3/4 full. (this may seem alot but the ice is causing the illusion to make it look like a lot of bacardi) give it 1 last mix with the spoon, top with soda water and finish with a sprig of lime at the top and a straw.

Enjoy.

Forget all those heavy drinks with tomato juice as the main ingredient...not good for a hot day...or with BBQ.

Your best bet is to make Vodka the main staple for most of your drinks...that way the guests can mix their drinks up, by trying more than one, and reduce the risk of getting sick.

I have 2 sure-fire hits!! ;)

Everyone loves lemonade...and there is nothing more refreshing and lip-l*****g than:

**LEMON DROP LEMONADE!...

~~Make a big batch of lemonade from lots of fresh-squeezed LEMONS...include lots of the pulp!...mixed with SWEET&SOUR Mix, SPRITE, and plenty of real SUGAR...no artifical stuff.

~~Add ABSOLUT CITRON Vodka

~~Serve well-chilled over ice...make sure you shake/stir it continuously, so that the sugar does not all sink to the bottom.

~~For an added touch, strain into a sugar-rimmed martini glass, and garnish with a lemon twist. (A "twist" is just the curly rind of the lemon, without the fruit.)

Another humongous crowd pleaser is:

**"SNOW WHITE'S APPLE"...

~~Equal parts SMIRNOFF APPLE VODKA & DEKUYPER APPLE PUCKER

~~CRANBERRY JUICE COCKTAIL

~~SWEET&SOUR MIX

~~SPRITE

*It is FABULOUS, and tastes exactly like a sweet and crisp Johnathon Apple...everyone LOVES IT!

Trust me...I am a bartender, I INVENTED THIS...and I sell a million of them! =) YUMMY!
