Muddled mango, triple sec, lume juice and mango infused vodka

Was reading up some cocktail books to decide what drink to make. Looking outside, the fast growing dark clouds and winds picking up force reminded me immediately of what might an appropriate drink. At least the name is appropriate!!

This is a variation of Moscow Mule and is made from dark rum and ginger beer.

Bourbon, elderflower liqueur and bitters…

Creme de Cassis, gin and ginger ale. Light, refreshing drink.

With the name of a famous warrior from the days of the Moors (eleventh century) in Spain, why this drink has gin instead of Tequila, I will never know. Anyways, this is a lighter cocktail (with much lesser amount of alcohol) comprising of dry gin, orange juice, Midori liqueur and lime juice.

This traditional – and a popular version – of martini has gin and vodka and white chocolate liqueur.

With a distinct East European name, I figured there must be an intriguing history behind the drink. So far, I have not come up with anything in the internet. Do any one of you know?

Vodka, Apricot flavored Brandy, lime juice and simple syrup.

This is a repeat drink from about three months back. I have changed up the garnish but the main contents are still Anejo rRum, Orange Curacao, Orange juice, Lemon juice, Bitters and Sugar Syrup.

Between the absynthe, gin and triple sec, this drink does not even attempt to show any complexity. This is pure alcohol designed to cool your nerves down in a hurry. Would recommend it if you are looking for something to quickly give you the buzz so that you can catch up on your forty winks sitting in the sun by the pool. Provided you like the taste of aniseed. Else, find yourself something lighter 🙂

Strawberries, Cachaca and granulated sugar.
