This is equal parts Bacardi Rum, Dry Vermouth and Orange Curacao!!

Sagatiba Cachaca, muddled lime and granulated sugar

After a long time, had a Tom Collins. This is one of the few citrusy cocktail I can deal with. Used Malfy gin today. Malfy gin uses 20% lemons from the Amalfi coast and 80% lemons from Sicily to give the distinct nose.

Gin, lime juice, syrup and soda…

Picked this recipe up from Melanie Milhorat of New York from Taste of Home. The drinks tastes great and even as importantly, looks great.

This cocktail is stirred not shaken. Fill three fourth of a stirring glass with ice and then pour two teaspoons of lemon juice, two ounces of coconut rum, two ounces of guava juice, a dash of syrup and couple of dashes of bitters. Stir it thoroughly and then pour it in a glass with a few pieces of ice already in it.

Got back to the guava juice Sharmila had bought. This is a relatively simple cocktail – two ounces of vodka, two and a half ounces of guava juice and half an ounce of sweetened lime juice – shaken over ice and served in a martini glass without any garnish.

Tried a variant on margarita. First off, used the guava juice that Sharmila got. Still experimenting with it. Second, instead of Tequila, used Casamigos Mezcal. And finally, used kiln fired rock salt for the rim of the glass.

Wet the rim of the margarita glass with a slice of lime and rotate the rim on a small pile of kiln fired rock salt so a little of it sticks all around. In a mixing glass, put ice, three ounces of guava juice, one and a half ounce of mezcal, three quarters ounce of cointreau and squeeze a slice of lime in it. Thoroughly shake it and pour in the glass.

This one is improvised from a recipe I found in a rather humorously named website.

Take two slices of lime in a muddling glass and throw in a spoonful of sugar in it. Muddle it very well. Add ice to it. Pour two ounces of rum and four ounces of guava juice in it and then shake it well.

Pour it in a glass of your choice (I used a margarita glass) and serve.

Great tropical drink. Probably more suited to summer days but I enjoyed it anyways.

The three ingredients of a Racquet Club are Gin, Dry Vermouth and Orange Bitters. Interestingly enough, you can make a Leaning Tower, Delmonico or an Astorio Bianco using those exact ingredients and nothing else. It is all in the proportions.

This one has 3 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of dry vermouth and 4 dashes of orange bitters.

Made a gin cocktail after a long time. Pour 2 ounces of gin with 3/4 ounce of Triple Sec, 3/4 ounce of Sweet Vermouth and a few dashes of Angostura bitters with ice in a shaker and our in a martini glass…

If you like cinnamon, you might like this. First, muddle a small cinnamon stick (they are very strong in aroma, an inch is more than enough) in your mixing glass. Pour half an ounce of fresh lime juice and three fourths of an ounce of honey syrup of honey liqueur (like Barenajager) and muddle it a little more. Pour ice and two ounces of rum and shake it. Pour into a coupe and top it off with champagne. Gently stir it and serve.
