I'm not important. The drinks are.

Christmas White Hot Chocolate

With winter here, why not stay in side and drink instead of going out to brave the colds. While I was only prompted to attempt one of the following variations, I had to much time to think it over in my head and found more flavours that would also work with the chocolaty goodness of this drink.

4 cups Dairy ( milk, cream, heavy cream) 8oz/250g white chocolate chips 1 tsp Vanilla extract 1oz of any of the following: Peppermint Schnapps, Grand Marnier, Disaronno.

If you plan to make whipped cream from scratch, do so first and put it in the fridge. Add an extra dash of booze you plan to use to it if you want to "enhance" the flavours.

Take 4 cups dairy (we did 3 cups 2% milk, and 1 cup heavy whipping cream) and add them to a pot. Add the vanilla and chocolate chips. Bring to simmer. Add to your glass. Add one once of your desired liquor to the mix. Top with whipped cream. Garnish with Candy Canes for peppermint, Orange zest for the Grand Marnier, or almonds and caramel if using Disaronno.

Even if you don’t add the alcohol, this is still a delicious drink. Creamy, chocolaty, and reminds you of Christmas.

Hot Toddy:

Winter is rather on and off this season. Currently it is cold, so when you need something to warm up, the Hot Toddy is a great choice. Jeffery Morgenthaler has a small series of videos I watched and I have found that I quite enjoy his version of this drink, so it is the one I make myself when I want one.

1 1/2 oz Whiskey (Your preferred whisky) 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice 1 oz ginger honey syrup 1 tsp The Bitter Truth Pimento Dram (I don't use this but you might enjoy it) Boiling water.

Take you specialty coffee glass and add boiling water to keep it warm. To make the syrup, combine equal parts ginger, honey and water in a blender. Strain through a fine mesh strainer.   Fill up your shaker tin with hot water. Add all your ingredients except the boiling water to your mixing glass or another tin. Stir ingredients in the glass over the hot water in your tin. Pour out water from your mixing glass and replace with the mixed drink. Top up with more boiling water.

Garnish with a lemon peel or orange peel.

Raspberry Limonade:

Whether you had a Valentine or not for yesterday's festivities, this is definitely I drink I got to enjoy yesterday. Didn't have anyone to share it with so I made a double serving for me and myself.

Single serving 5-8 Raspberries 1/2oz Home made grenadine 1oz Limoncello 1oz Citron Vodka 1/2-1oz Lime Juice (to taste)

Chill your coup glass while you make the drink. Add raspberries and grenadine to your mixing glass and muddle well.   Add the remaining ingredients with ice and shake. Double strain into your chilled coup glass.

Garnish with a raspberry and lime wheel.

Jager-rita:

For my Jager fans, this is for you. After watching a short series named "The Morgenthaler Method", I found this gem at the end. Jager tends to have a bit of a stigma, mixing with Goldschlager for shots of liquid cocain. However this use of Jager highlights the herbal qualities of Jager and makes it something most can enjoy.

1 1/2 oz Jager 3/4 oz Cointreau 3/4 oz Lime Juice 2 tsp 2:1 Simple Syrup

Chill your coup glass while you make the drink. Add all ingredients to your shaker with ice and shake. Double strain into your chilled coupe glass.

Irish Coffee:

It's cold outside now. Why not come inside and warm up by the fire with a nice Irish Coffee. Definitely a drink that everyone should try at some point in their life.

2oz Irish Whisky Sugar to taste Coffee Whipping cream

I would suggest that you warm up your glass first so you don't lose to much eat while you add your ingredients. You can do this with warm water. After your glass has been warmed, add your sugar and coffee and stir to combine. Add your whisky. Float the cream ontop of the coffee very carefully by using the back of a spoon. Drink as is. Dont stir in the cream.

Miami Vice:

Summer has pretty much ended, I figured I would get one last drink out before we move into Fall. A mix of two drinks, Pina Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri, that remind me of warmer places give us this creation, the Miami Vice.

Red side: 4-6 Strawberries 2oz White Rum 1oz Lime Juice 1/2 - 1oz Simple Syrup (to taste) Crushed ice

White Side Pineapple juice Cream of Coconut 2oz Rum Chata Crushed ice

Add all of the Strawberry Daiquir's ingredients to a blender, blend, then set aside. Do the same with the Pina Colada's ingredients. For vertical separation, carefully pour both drinks in your hurricane glass at the same time. Otherwise simply layer one ontop of the other.

Garnish with a strawberry and a cocktail umbrella.

Blueberry Mojito:

I have been pretty busy over the last couple months but I still found time to make a couple drinks. One of them is this classic cocktail with a twist. I like Mojitos as they are but I also find they lend themselves to be experiment with. Like adding blueberries.

1oz Fresh Lime Juice 1/2oz Simple Syrup 2oz of you favourite Rum 4-6 Mint leaves. 2-3 Lime wedges (optional) Club Soda

Add Blueberries and mint leaves to your glass and muddle gently.   Add Rum, lime juice and a couple lime wedges to the glass with ice and shake. Pour into a collins glass. Top with Club Soda Garnish with a another lime wedge and a small sprige of mint.

Ginger Lemon Twist:

After starting down the trail of nice cocktails, I often look for new things to try at the restaurants I frequent. One such restaurant had this a drink and it caught my eye as I had been playing with ginger a lot. After trying the drink, I found that it was lacking in that very ginger department, so I wrote down the ingredients that were listed in the menu and remade it at home. Making my own ginger syrup allowed me to boost the wonderful spice of the ginger. Balance out that spice with the lemon, and you have one delicious drink.

1oz Fresh Lemon Juice 1oz Ginger Syrup 2oz Vodka

Measure out and add all ingredients to your mixing glass. Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass over a large chunk of ice. Double strain if you are not a fan of ice chips in  your drink. Garnish with a long twist of lemon.

I found equal part ginger syrup to lemon works well. The vodka does take a bit of a backseat, but this drink is all about highlighting the ginger and the lemon. You can also add club soda for an even lighter drink that would still be great for the summer.

Cheers.

Saint's Expression:

I have found some pretty amazing cocktail instagram pages while posting my own cocktails, and sometimes they are even nice enough to leave a recipe. @therocksglass posted this drink a while back. Looked good enough to try so I did. Man was this a tasty drink. Thanks for sharing!

1oz Fresh Lemon Juice 1/2oz Sweet Vermouth (I used Dolin's in this case) 2oz Gin (Dillon's) 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar 10 Black Berries 2-3 Dashes of Angostura Bitters

Add Black Berries, sugar and bitters to your glass and muddle hard. Add the rest of the ingredients and ice and stir till the glass is cold. Double strain into a chilled Martini or Coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon peel or zest. Additional black berries optional.

The White Lady:

Had a bottle of Cointreau sitting my shelf not doing much. Other than a Margarita, this was on of the first drinks I found that also used it. I will definitely be revisiting this drink in the near future.

2 oz Gin 1 oz Cointreau 1 oz Lemon Juice 1 Egg White.

Add all ingredients and dry shake to emulsify the egg white. Shake again with ice (wet shake). Strain into chilled coupe glass (double strain optional). Take lemon peel. Express the oils over the drink. Drop it in for garnish.

The drink is quite light and fruity. Makes for easy sipping.

The Negroni:

Its a bit late, but we will try to sneak it in shortly after. Last week was Negroni week. So while trying to squeeze it in a bit late, here is how I enjoyed my Negroni last week.

1oz Campari 1oz Gin 1oz Sweet Vermouth

Add all ingredients and ice into your mixing glass and stir to chill and dilute the drink. Strain into a rocks glass over a large chunk of ice. Take an orange peel. Express the oils over the drink. Drop it in for garnish.

This drink is quite bitter, so just be ready for that if you decide to give it a try.

The Manhattan:

Finally managed to get a hold of a great bottle of Rittenhouse rye. What better drink to test it out with than the Manhattan. While you can use any whisky for this drink, Rye is the preferred one as this would be the spirit the drink was originally made with.

2oz Rye whisky 1oz Sweet Vermouth

Add both the whisky and vermouth to your mixing glass. Add ice and stir. This will keep the appearance of drink nice and crispy while chilling it and giving it the needed dilution. Strain into your chilled coupe glass.

Garnish with a cherry. Or two.

The Algonquin:

Was looking for something to use my bottles of sweet and dry vermouth in. Found this drink pretty quick. While it doesn't use sweet vermouth, it still is a surprisingly good drink.

1 1/2 oz rye whiskey 3/4 oz dry vermouth 3/4 oz pineapple juice (unsweetened)

Add all ingredients to your mixing glass. Stir this drink to prevent the pineapple juice from foaming up. Strain into chilled coupe glass.

Garnish with a cherry. Preferably the good cherries.

3oz White Rum Pineapple Juice Cream of Coconut Pineapple Slices (Optional)

Add all ingredients to a blender with crushed ice and blend.

Garnish with as many colourful and fun things as you can.

Weather was kinda grey for a few days and it started to rain. Decided it would be a good time to bust out a drink with a fitting name.

Garnish with a lime wedge.

The Clover Club:

For a fruity drink that isn't overly sweet, I would recommend this one. While this isn't the recipe for the original drink, it's still a good one.

1 1/2oz London Dry Gin 1/2oz Dry Vermouth 1/2oz Sweet Vermouth 3/4oz Lemon Juice 1/2oz Simple Syrup 1 Egg White 5 Fresh Raspberries

Muddle raspberries with simple syrup. Add the rest of the ingredients and dry shake. Then add ice, shake and double strain into a chilled coup glass.

Garnish with a few raspberries on a cocktail pick.

The Grasshopper:

Was looking for an easy drink to make for myself one night and as it would happen, a video on youtube explaining the history behind this drink showed up. Decided why not?

1 1/2oz Green Creme de Menthe 1 1/2oz White Creme de Cacao 1 1/2oz Dairy (we used milk in this case)

Combine all ingredients in your tin. Shake until cold and strain into a chilled coup. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
