Ginger liqueur, bourbon and lemon juice. Cherry is the usual garnishing – I tried with olives.

This is a decidedly rainy day drink. The whiskey gives the strength and the blood orange smooths it out…

Scotch whiskey, blood orange liqueur, simple syrup, lemon juice and mint leaves. Garnished with a slice of orange wheel doubled and a sprig of mint.

Usually served in a old fashioned double glass.

Had to throw away twice before I got the right mix of the edge of the whiskey and the softening of taste by other ingredients…

The classic drink with one twist. I used Sriracha Vodka! Yes, there exists such a thing!!!

Peach schnapps, vodka and orange liqueur topped up with pineapple juice. Perfect for a sunny warm outdoor settings like today.

I have no idea what the name is. Got the recipe from the alcohol shop owner Gasan Awad. Tastes pretty good. Gin, muddled basil and grapefruit juice.

Brazil’s national drink!! Cachaca, lime, sugar and ice!

The recipe for this tropical drink comes from my good friend – Gasan. It has orange juice and sprite mixed with vodka, peach schnapps and blue curaçao…

This is a good sweet and spicy cocktail. It has ginger, cucumber, chillies, and mint. Vodka is the alcohol base and some sprite to top it off!!!

Marlenetini – vodka (keeping in mind, Monica’s request), pineapple juice and ginger ale.
Sharmila is out. Ergo, I am forced to consume my creation 🙁

In deference to Monica Riskay’s wishes, today’s featured drink is based on vodka.
It is vodka, triple sec, lemon juice and finely granulated sugar. Usually served in a martini glass rimmed with sugar. And garnished with a lemon peel.
I took the short cut today and added lemon drop martini mix instead 🙂
The taste came out great. But the one that Alexis makes at Milton’s has a distinct taste that both Sharmila and I like. Need to find out from her what proportions she uses… Meanwhile, Cheers!!
