Cocktail recipes for Christmas

Ruby Rosa Martini

Davison Plum & Vanilla Martini

45 ml of gin are shaken with 30 ml of Davidson Plum and Vanilla Martini cocktail mix, 60 ml of cranberry juice and ice. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to cool and mix the ingredients well. Strain the mixture into a previously chilled martini glass and garnish with a slice of dried lemon.

 

Gaia’s Magic No.2

Combining vodka or gin with a homemade pineapple-jalapeño cocktail mix, topped with sparkling water and served with lemon zest and fresh raspberries, can be an ideal cocktail proposal for Christmas.

 

To do this, pour 60 ml of vodka or gin, 30 ml of pineapple with jalapeño and 30 ml of sparkling water into a cocktail shaker. Shake so that all the ingredients are well mixed, pour into a previously chilled martini glass and decorate with lemon zest if you choose vodka or fresh raspberries if the main drink is gin.

 

 

Spiced & Roasted Pineapple Daiquiri

To make the roasted pineapple puree, peel and cut the pineapple into slices. Grill the pineapple slices in an oven or grill until golden brown. Then mash the roasted slices.

 

In a shaker, add 60 ml of white rum, 30 ml of pineapple liqueur, 30 ml of the roasted pineapple puree, 22 ml of spice syrup and 30 ml of the lime juice.

 

Shake for about 15-20 seconds to cool and mix the ingredients well and strain the mixture into a previously chilled daiquiri glass. Garnish with a roasted pineapple slice on the rim of the glass.

 

Margarita

Moisten the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge and sprinkle with salt. You can do this by dipping the rim of the glass into a plate of salt. Next, add 60 ml of blanco tequila, 30 ml of triple sec, and 20 ml of lime juice to a shaker. Shake well and pour into a chilled martini glass or any glass with ice and garnish with a slice of lime on the rim of the glass.

 

Velvet Jackets

In a blender with ice, combine the bourbon, cherry liqueur, sweet vermouth and a few dashes (meaning small amounts of the ingredient added to a cocktail using drippers) of bitter Angostura (a concentrated bitter used as a condiment to add flavor and aroma to cocktails). Stir the mixture well to cool it and mix the flavors. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice. Squeeze the orange peel over the mocktail to release its essential oils and decorate the rim of the glass with the peel.

 

 

 

Splashes

In a cocktail shaker with ice, add 45 ml of vodka, 15 ml of orange liqueur, 15 ml of peach schnapps, 30 ml of cranberry juice and 15 ml of agave or almond syrup. For a sweet touch.
