Electric Blue Margarita
2007-11-12 13:08:43
Some times I ask myself: ”А навіщо платити більше?” (А-а-а… Why pay more?) This cocktail was proving ground for investigating of this question. :) Electric Blue Margarita 20 ml Cointreau 20 ml silver tequila (Jose Cuervo) 10 ml peach schnapps 10 ml blue curacao 80 ml sweet and sour Shake and strain over ice. Very funny drink! I have two… But so expensive … Cointreau 33 USD 1 l and Jose Cuervo Blanco 27 USD 0,7 l… Ok! Lets try Siroco Triple Seс 9 USD 0,7 l and El Charro Silver 24 USD 1 l. Admirbable drink! :) Try to find 3 differences…


Golden Dawn
2007-11-11 17:01:22
This amazing cocktail was winner of ICC 1930 (London). Nine year later Walter Madigan prepare it without calvados and won ICC 1939. I think now it is pure classics, symbol of magnificence of cocktail… It has complicated taste with undertones of fruits (rape apples, dried fruits, grape, apricots) and fabulous appearance with little summer sun in your glass. Interesting relative post from Paul Clarke. Golden  Dawn 25 ml gin 25 ml apricot brandy 25 ml calvados 25 ml fresh orange juice 3 drop of grenadine Shake (without grenadine). Cocktail, drop grenadine for effect of dawn.

Kamikaze with Balalaika
2007-11-21 17:51:21
Today`s post has very intresting name - Kamikaze with Balalika… It is clear in one`s mind - austere Japanese with russian folk musical instrument. Great and beautifull picture, of course… :) This two ”real” cocktails have only one differences - juice. Balalaika is older cocktail than Kamikaze, and as balalaika has three strings it has three ingredients - vodka, cointreau, fresh lemon juice. Kamikaze include fresh lime juice instead lemon juice, and I have no idea as Balalaika turn into Kamikaze in this way. Our goal on today`s frosty evening is a copmarsion of this cocktail. Balalaika 25 ml vodka 25 ml Cointreau 25 ml fresh lemon juice Shake vigorously and strain in cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon slice. Kamikaze 25 ml vodka 25 ml Cointreau 25 ml fresh lime juice Shake vigorously and strain in cocktail glass. Garnish with lime slice. Conclusion: Both drink are admirable. Balalaika has reach smooth citr


Two champagne cocktails
2007-11-20 14:32:47

Flaming Sambuca
2007-11-26 15:21:51
В общем сегодня пост будет посвящен одному из самых веселых и э-э-э-э… рідною мовою карколомних напитков - самбуке. Я не буду тут долго расказывать про историю этого напитка, любопытные уже все и так прочитали, ибо я явно не первый в выдаче гугла по ключевому слову самбука :) Итак дадим фотоинструкцию как имбайберствовать данным нектаром. Я практикую свой способ, главное отличие которого в отсутствии кофейных зерен (ну, не люблю я их раскусывать, не люблю!), кофейный же вкус добавляется кофейным ликером (например Калуа). Шаг 1. (Step 1) Для употребле


New Yorker
2007-12-04 16:38:54
Today I was purshased very interesting thing - the bottle of CAPEL Pisco Reservado. Pisco is specific grape brendy produced in Peru and Chile from muscat grape and aged in figuline which are coated with wax.   Signature cocktail for Pisco is Pisco Sour, Pisco Punch, Pisco Bum… But I think that it is non original. What why I prepare enother drink.   New Yorker (exotic) 20 ml Galliano 30 ml pisco 30 ml fresh grapefruit juice 15 ml fresh lime juice 10 ml gomme syrup Shake. Cocktail glass.


Angel`s Tit
2007-12-02 15:00:09
  One of the most popular afterdinner cocktail of Prohibition, Angel`s Tit is not so simple as you can think.

Angel`s Tit 40 ml maraschino liqueur 20 ml whipped cream Build in cordial glass, garnish with maraschino cherry. Feel yourself like maffiozo.

Milky Way Martini   40 ml Dooley’s Toffee Liqueur 20 ml chocolate liqueur 10 ml vodka Shake. Cocktail glass with a maraschino cherry on the rim.

Fruit Daiquiri
2007-12-22 15:00:51
Фруктовый Дайкири, или Радуга у вас в бокале. Не секрет, что в северном полушарии и в частности в Украине зима. Серые краски окружающей действительности, серое небо… Рацион бедный фруктами… Все серое и коричневое, под ногами, над головой и в тарелке. Очень скучаю по лету, по яркому солнечному свету, горам фруктов, ярким краскам и огромным освежающим коктейлям. Все это привело к интересному проекту, которым я, моя жена и наши друзья занимались целую неделю. Смысл - больше ярких красок, свежих фруктов и рома! Лучший вариант - фруктовые даÐ

Sangre de Agave
2007-12-16 13:45:55
This cocktail was found on my favorite imbibers blog - The Cocktail Chronicles some weeks ago. Paul`s description of this cocktail is so intriguing and compositions seems me very interesting. Unusual combination of heavy rum and reposado tequila with creme de cassis and lime (Paul`s limes were lousy… hm-m-m-m… my favorite words for describing bad quality ungredients) promise interesting taste. Sangre de Agave 45 ml reposado tequila (Sierra Reposado Gold) 15 ml dark, heavy rum (Angostura 1919) 20 ml fresh lime juice 15 ml creme de cassis 3 ml gomme syrup Shake. Cocktail glass. Admirable! Very rich and interesting taste. But relatively to Angostura 1919 rest ingredients are lousy :) may be except lime…
