Just nice cocktails, drinks and recipes

Desperatos - Beer cocktail

Bartender BTC — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 17:00:29 +0000

Desperatos is a beer flavored with tequila - at least it says so on the bottle. But as a bartender, serving a beer isn’t that funny, so why not make a nice cocktail out of it?

Try is at home:
Inspiratos

10 cl Desperatos beer
1 cl Monin peach syrup
½ lime
½ passionsfruit

Mash passionfruit, lime and syrup in the serving glass. Then add a lot of crushed ice and beer. Its a nice fresh drink, with a fine beer taste and note, but also sweetness and exsotic fruit.

Strawberry Julep

Bartender BTC — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:49:04 +0000

A Julep is a whiskey based cocktail, with lime, mint and sugar. It’s good as it is, but also good as a basic reciepe for other good drinks. Like this Strawberry Julep, which contain strawberry pure to add a more sweet and fruty flavor to the julep.

Strawberry Julep
4 cl Whiskey
half lime cut in pieces
Sugar (can be left out)
5 mint leaves
4 cl Strawberry pure (Monin og Funkin Pro)

Muddle lime, mint and strawberry. Add crushed ice to the top of the glass, and then add whiskey. Stirr a few times before serving this beauty.

Grand Passinger

Bartender BTC — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:52:50 +0000

Grand Marnier is a nice french liquor, which is a great mixer in many different cocktails. This cocktail I made is a bit strong, but has a really nice flavor of ginger, orange and passion.

Grand Passinger
5 cl Grand Marnier
4 cl Homemade ginger syrup
1 passionfruit
lime

Muddle passionfruit with lime and ginger syrup. Add a lot of crushed ice and then add Grand Marnier. Garnish with a half passionfruit.

Hendrick’s Gin & Tonic

Bartender BTC — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:52:37 +0000

This is one of my favorit drink, especially then i comes to Gin. Hendrick’s Gin is, as they prodly says, not a usual gin. It’s made with among others cucumber and rose pedals. This makes it good to add cucumber to your G & T, since it really freshen up your drink.

Hendrick’s Gin & Tonic
4 cl Hendrick’s Gin
14 cl Tonic water
3 pieces of cucumber

Muddle cucumber and Hendrick’s gin a few times (not too much), and then add tonic water. Now add ice, and stirr well.

Caipiruva - a Caipirinha inspired drink

Bartender BTC — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:52:23 +0000

If you like a nice cold Caipirinha, I bet you would also like this one. It’s a bit more sweet than the classic Caipirinha, since there has been added white grapes to it.

Caipiruva (uva means grapes in brazilian.)
4 cl Cachaca
8-10 White grapes
Half lime cut in pieces
Sugar

Muddle grapes with lime and sugar. Add crushed ice and then cachaca and stirr a few times before serving.

Bartender BTC — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 11:16:47 +0000

Ginger Smash

This is my frist contribution to the Mixology Monday MxMo XL - Ginger is June 15. My drink Ginger Smash is a powerfull drink, with ginger in almost every ingredient. Its fresh and strong, but still with a fine harmony with bloodorange and honey. It got a nice sweet start, then going over to a strong taste of ginger, and long after drinking you can taste the ginger in a perfect harmony with bloodorange.

Ginger Smash

3 cl Infused vodka with Ginger
2 cl Ginger syrup (Monin)
8 cl FireFly Health Kick juice (Bloodorange and Honey + ginger)
Fresh lime
Fresh Ginger

Muddle fresh pieces of ginger and lime with ginger syrup. Add crushed ice to the top, then add vodka and FireFly. Serve with a straw.
