New Years Cocktails
The New Year is upon us, and the expectations for an explosive party can slowly felt. But you just have a few beers, some (perhaps French) bubbles and otherwise just the usual splash?
Here are our suggestions on how you can make some really nice drinks for the last day. Of course there will be bubbles, but also suggestions for what drinks to suit different times of the evening.
Get started with one of these delicious welcome drinks:
Proposal 1, fresh and bitter.
10 cl dry sparkling wine or champagne. For example. Martini brut or Jacob Creek Brut.
3 oz Campari
1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 sugar cube
Orange peel Spiral (eco)
The cooled champagne glass out back and a sugar cube determined in. Pour Campari and lemon juice in the glass and top with your choice of balloons. Shear finally orange peel spiral over the glass and let it fall into the jar afterwards. This welcome drinks are for you who do not have a crazy sweet tooth but want something fresh and slightly bitter taste.
Proposal for a welcome drink no.2 – Fresh and sweet
10 cl Demi sec sparkling wine or champagne. For example. Jacob Creek Demi-sec or a Rosé.
3 oz triple sec liqueur
2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
Lemon Must Spiral (eco)
The welcome drink is especially good if you are into citrus fruit freshness and the sweet champagnes gentle bubbles. In a chilled champagne glass, add ingredients and lemon peel spiral twist over the glass before it executed in.
Proposal for a welcome drink no.3 – Royal Mojito
6 oz dry sparkling wine or champagne
4 cl Havana Club rum
2 oz Peppermint Syrup (see mojitoguiden recipe or use Monin Mojito mint syrup)
8 mint leaves
½ lime in both
Crushed ice (see guide to easy and fast ice here )
Mos boats with lime syrup in a good solid glass. Fill the well with crushed ice in the glass – 3 / 4 parts up. Now add the rum and stir well into the glass with a harsh. Top up with crushed ice and fill the champagne in. Stir a few times and serve with straws.
During dinner
Would you typically do not drink as many drinks as beer and wine in most cases will be the best choice. But do you want a little variety, maybe you’re not a big fan of beer or wine, so here’s a few suggestions what you could do!
Proposal 1 – øldrinks:
You can actually make good drinks with beer, and they fit especially well with food, as there naturally is a lot ølsmag back. But the aftertaste can pep up and be delicious.
12 oz beer (lager avoid, unless you love them. Try. A corona)
2 oz Citrus vodka Danzka
A pair of lime
1 fresh passion fruit (passion fruit syrup can not replace the fresh version!)
Mos glued to the bottom of a shaker and add vodka and then all the flesh from passion fruit. Shake with ice and strain into a cold beer glass. Fill in with Corona.
Proposal 2 – Moscow Mule Light
Try this lovely Russian with Ginger Ale, which has a nice fresh taste.
2-3 oz vodka (eg. Green Mark, Russian Standard or Stolichnaya)
2 oz fresh lime juice
13 cl Ginger Ale (Take one of the ecological, they are so much better than all the others …)
Fill a highball glass with vodka, ice cubes and lime juice. Stir a few times and add ginger ale soda. Garnish with a slice of lime.
Good drinks for dessert
Sweet drinks are a dessert in itself, so in what follows, I recommend two drinks which could go as a dessert and two drinks is not so sweet to offset the sweet dessert you probably still have to face.
Dessert drinks proposals 1
10 oz Chocolate Milk
15 cl good vanilla ice cream + a ball
4 oz Coffee Liqueur or in the same genre (for example. Fangelico, Drambuie, Amaretto or Aramula disaronno)
Whipped cream whipped with orange syrup
Grated chocolate
Blend ice cream, chocolate milk and liqueur together. In cold tall glass, place a ball vanilla ice cream in the glass, and milkshakes lucky. Put whipped cream on top and garnish with grated chocolate. Serve with a few straws.
Dessert Drinks proposal 2
Piña Colada is sweet and creamy, and lend themselves quite well as a dessert. Serve the possible. in a hollowed-out pineapple, it’s really festive.
4 oz light rum – eg. Havana or Flor de Cana.
6 oz Coconut Cream
8-10 oz Pineapple Juice
Blend the above with some ice cream has the consistency is smooth. Server in a cold hurricane glass filled with ice. Garnish with a piece of pineapple, pineapple leaf and cocktail cherries.
Drinks for a sweet dessert – Proposal 1
10 cl Demi Sec Champagne / Sparkling wine
1 oz Fresh squeezed lime juice
2 oz passionfruit syrup
1 oz Ginger Syrup (recipe ginger syrup here )
Serve over ice cubes in a champagne glass. Pour the champagne in the end, and stir a few times with a harsh.
A hammer good cocktail
It requires a lot of shopping, but when it is said, this is one of the best cocktails I’ve tasted in recent memory! Great interaction between the ingredients creates a harmonious cocktail is certainly a new year celebration value.
4.5 oz Gin (Geranium is quite excellent)
1.5 cl Brandy
4 oz Fresh strawberry juice
4 oz Pineapple Juice
1.5 cl Gomme
1.5 cl Fresh lime / lemon juice
Twist: lemon peel, which is twisted over the glass
Shake all ingredients with ice, and strain them into a chilled cocktail glass. The result is a very harmonious cocktail that is both visual, scent and taste is second to none. Smells of lemon mousse, summer and citrus.
Drinks for after dinner but before 24
Sometimes you get eaten too much of the good nytårsmad and it is therefore a good idea to focus on light drinks that are not too sweet and fatty. The classics Mojito and G & T is here obvious, but try also one of the following delicious drinks:
Ginger Smash
3 oz Infused vodka with ginger
2 oz ginger syrup (Monin, homemade or Danisco)
8 oz Organic ginger ale soda (eg. Natural fresh)
Fresh lime
Fresh ginger
Mash with ginger syrup and lime. Add ice cubes, vodka and lastly ginger ale. Stir in the glass, and serve with straws. A nice high-performance drink that gives taste buds a kick!
Blackberry caipirinha
Caipirinha – classic without blackberries is also a good drink, but you are not quite so fresh-bitter drink, try this delicious variety.
4 cl Pitu (or Ypioca / Sagatiba) Cachaca rum
2 oz blackberry syrup (Monin)
Fresh blackberries
Fresh lime
Possibly. Cane
Mash lime and blackberry (save a few for garnish) in drinks glass. Add crushed ice and you Cachaca’en. Stir well, garnish with a few blackberries at the top of the glass, lying on the crushed ice and serve with straws.
Kl. 24 and later
True to tradition, you enjoy a glass of champagne at 24th Is not the dry brut, one can always choose a Demi Sec or Rosé. However, there is also opportunity to make his champagne, or especially if it is not French, sweeter. Add 1-2 oz fruit syrups for your champagne, and you have a nice round flavor. Do not forget the classic, Kir Royale, which include 2-3 oz blackberry liqueur, and the rest of champagne.
Now that the champagne bottle certainly is opened, here are a few good suggestions what you can do with it.
Buck’s Fizz
8 oz Champagne
4 cl Orange juice (freshly squeezed, especially in this appelsintid!)
1 cl Grenadinesirup
Add champagne and orange juice in a champagne glass. Then add grenadine.
Champagne Charlie
8 oz Champagne (Piper Heidsieck)
2 cl Apricot Brandy (eg. Bols)
Added to a chilled champagne glass.
Frenchtown 75
10 cl Champagne
2 oz Gin
2 oz Lemon Juice
1 harsh brown sugar
Shake sugar, lemon juice and gin with large ice cubes. Strain this into champagne glass and then add the champagne. Are not you so much for gin, so you can replace it with bourbon (Frenchtown 95) or cognac (Frenchtown 125).
When you get tired – but will not give up
When they get tired, but you’re not ready to go to bed, try these lovely hot drinks with coffee. They taste wonderful, and gets tired on standby.
Westerhaws coffee
15 cl hot coffee as you like it (without sugar, milk, etc.)
3-4 cl Westerhawsolie (shot at 35%, with a taste of English liquorice)
Power coffee
1 / 3 of hot coffee
1 / 3 part Baileys
1 / 3 part Kahlua
Sweet, hot coffee drink that turns away. So low it is not your biggest coffee mug.
We wish you a happy New Year and we hope you have been just as happy now as the old year we have and look forward to an even more exciting time in the coming year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
