Do you want to impress your friends with your drink-making skills? Or are you looking for a way to spice up the party this holiday season? This article has some simple, easy recipes that will do just that.
If you’re someone who likes an occasional cocktail, these drinks are perfect. They all use ingredients the beverage industry manufactures such as bottled water, sparkling drinks, syrups, energy drinks and more.
You can also find them in any grocery store, and they don’t require any special equipment or expertise to make them.
Pimm’s Cup
A Pimm’s cup comprises a mix of gin, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Stir all the ingredients together in a large pitcher with ice cubes until mixed and chill before serving.
Buttery Nipple
The Buttery Nipple includes Irish cream, butterscotch schnapps, and half-and-half. Mix all three ingredients with a whisk before pouring them into your serving glasses – you can best serve it chilled or on ice.
Gin Rickey
A Gin Rickey comprises gin, lime juice, lemon-lime soda (or ginger ale), and club soda. You’ll need at least one big block of ice for this drink because you’d be filling it up quite a bit!
Put your chosen liquid in first, then add the ice on top – that way, it will chill as long as possible while mixing everything more effectively. Garnish with an orange slice if desired.
Bloody Mary
This drink has vodka as its base liquor with tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco or celery salt for spice. It’s typically served on ice in an old-fashioned glass with some garnishes like olives and green peppers on top. You can also serve them by the pitcher if more people want to try it out!
Pina Colada
This fruity drink goes down smooth as silk! The recipe calls for two parts pineapple juice, three to four parts coconut milk (full fat), one-part white rum, chilled raw cane sugar syrup to taste (or other sweeteners), and crushed ice.
Combine them in an electric blender while adding some salt on top of the rim if desired. Pour into frosted glassware filled halfway with shaved or grated fresh coconut meat, then add more “frost” by pouring the drink back and forth between two frosted glassware.
Mojito
It’s easy to make a mojito. All you need is some mint, sugar, simple syrup, lime juice, rum (light or dark), ice cubes, and soda water or club soda. Mix in a large pitcher with ice until it reaches an even consistency; then put into glasses filled with crushed ice and garnish with lime wedges.
Fizzy drinks are always refreshing! They’re perfect for summer days when air conditioning can be dehydrating. These recipes call for ingredients that many people have in their pantry: club soda, ginger ale, and lemon-lime soda. The real trick here is how to turn them into an enjoyable drink.
Ginger Ale
This easy-to-make beverage is made from ginger beer mixed with lemon-lime fizzy drinks or citric acid and sodium benzoate solution that is chilled until slushy before serving. It can also be served over crushed ice, garnished with orange slices when desired.
In conclusion, these recipes are alternatives for those who don’t drink alcohol. It’s essential not only to keep hydrated but also to enjoy oneself!
