Oranges Everywhere


A little bit inspired by the oranges in The Godfather (In the three movies, each time oranges appear in a scene, someone dies), I craved for a sour with orange, but without actually using orange juice. 

Oranges everywhere

Ingredients
50 ml Milk & Honey Whisky
30 ml Triple Sec
20 ml Fresh lime juice
2 dashes Orange bitters

Method
Add everything to a shaker with lots of ice. Shake hard and fine strain in a tumbler with fresh ice. Garnish with orange.

Magical Blue Margarita

Margarita Mum Rhonda is a friend of mine and today’s her birthday. I couldn’t resist shaking up a very tasty Margarita today. 

Adding the delicious flavour of HPNOTIQ liqueur really creates some magic. Happy Birthday Rhonda!!!

Magical Blue Margarita

45 ml Tequila Silver
15 ml Hpnotiq liqueur 
15 ml Triple Sec
20-30 ml Fresh lime juice

Method
Add everything to a shaker with lots of ice. Shake hard for 15 seconds and fine strain in your festive glass of choice. Cheers !!!

Tip
I like my sours pretty sour. Don’t add sugar but lower the amount of lime if you prefer it a bit sweeter.

Orange and Cocoa Old Fashioned


When I spotted another great recipe by my friends at Delightful Drinks, I wanted to make my own version. I ended up with a really good drink. Of course I already knew orange and cocoa flavours always do magic together. 

Orange & Cocoa Old Fashioned

Ingredients
60 ml Matusalem Insolito Rum (Wine cask aged rosé rum)
10 ml Clement Creole Shrubb (Orange liqueur)
2 dashes Angostura Cocoa bitters

Method
Add all ingredients in a mixing glass with lots of ice. Stir for 15 seconds and strain into a chilled tumbler with fresh ice. Garnish with orange.

Winter Margarita


Happy New Year
- Time to start shaking our first drinks for 2022.

I often try out recipes which are shared or suggested by producers and distributors. Sometimes they can still be improved or simplified, other times they are spot on. I really liked this one. 

Winter Margarita

Ingredients
50 ml Tequila Silver
30 ml Triple Sec
20 ml (fresh!) Passion fruit

Method
Add both spirits to a shaker with lots of ice. Also scoop in 20 ml of fresh passion fruit. Shake hard for 15 seconds until your shaker gets really cold. Fine strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with orange zest. My excuses, your shaker will need a good clean after making this drink, but it’s worth it. 

Tip
The original recipe also adds a cinnamon stick to the shaker, but I don’t really think it adds that much. If you want to add a bit of cinnamon flavour, you get a tastier result by decreasing the Triple Sec to 25ml and adding 5 ml of Monin Cinnamon syrup.
