Heya! Hope you all had a great christmas and are looking forward to New Years!
So as the thread title says, cocktails for new year? Obviously some of us can't be knocking back a nice Cosmo or two, so trying to think of some non alc ones as well..?
I've been having a talk with some of my buddies, and they gave me some nice recipes for some simple cocktails that taste GREAT!
Capucine: Shake a shot of peppermint cordial and 4 shots of cream in a cocktail shaker, add crushed ice and decorate with grated chocolate.
Appleade: Chop up 2 large apples and pour a pint of boiling water over them. Sprinkle in a tiny dash of sugar and leave to stand for a few minutes. Strain the liquid, leave to cool and serve with lots of ice and apple/lemon garnish
Berry Surprise: Blend 1 cup of strawberries, a cup of pineapple chunks, half a cup of raspberries and a splash of lime cordial together and serve over ice.
Jungle Juice: Place 1 banana, 4 tablespoons of orange juice and a dash of ginger in a blender and whizz on a medium speed until liquefied. Pour into a glass (with ice if it's a hot day) and enjoy!
Golden Glow Punch: Mix 3 shots of orange juice, 3 shots of lemonade, a shot of apple juice and 2 shots of ginger ale in a bowl and serve over ice.
Orangatang: Place half part orange juice and half cranberry juice in a blender and whizz until thoroughly mixed together. Serve with a straw and crushed ice.
Strawberry Sparkle Punch: Puree 4 cups of strawberries in a blender and place in a large punch bowl. Dissolve 3oz jelly in boiling water and stir in 6oz lemonade. Add the mixture to the punch bowl stirring in 28oz of cranberry juice, 2 cups of cold water and 28oz of ginger ale.
More will follow, only I'm having difficulty trying to find where I left my sheet of cocktails as I moved everything in my big tidy up of the house for xmas lol...
