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.

50 ml Milk & Honey Whisky
30 ml Triple Sec
20 ml Fresh lime juice

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!!!

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.

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.
