What is Gin Rickey Cocktail? Gin Rickey is a very popular, classic gin cocktail with 3 basic ingredients and easy to make. A colonel named Joe Rickey invented this cocktail in 1883 with the suggestion of his friends. Initially, when Joe Rickey started to drink it, bourbon was the main ingredient but in time it evolved to rye whiskey and […]
Simple and Appetising Negroni is one of the most popular and classic cocktails, created at the beginning of the 1900s by twisting a classic Americano to be stronger. An Americano is made of Campari, Sweet Vermouth (or red as you can see in some recipes, they’re the same) and Club Soda. To make a Negroni, all you need to do […]
A Competition? Why not… There is an account on Instagram I have been following since I have started my blog. They have lots of inspirational ideas and creative recipes. The account’s name is Cocktail Alchemists and they ran a competition last week, asking the participants to create an Ancient Rome cocktail. The creations they asked needed to include the lifestyle […]
Grenadine for Raspberry Syrup Davis Cocktail is one of the old but surprisingly (for me) not such a popular drink. I have searched and tried so many cocktails when I first started making them at home that it was impossible for me not to try something with such a nice colour. You may come across two main recipes where one […]
Sweet or Sour, It’s All Up To You Another citrus-based drink I love and this one can be sweet or sour by easily adjusting the recipe. Getting closer to warmer weather, refreshing and citrusy drinks take more place in my mind. Lemon Drop was created in the ’70s, described as a type of martini made with vodka. Sweet and Sour […]
Delicious Gin & Tonic with a Market Garnish No matter how complicated the recipe is and how carefully prepared a cocktail is, there is not much that can beat a well prepared Gin & Tonic for me. When I saw the Gin & Tonic Garnish at Sainsbury’s, the first thing I thought was “Well, how bad can it be? And […]
My Favourite Kind of Martini Anyone who knows me well knows that my favourite colour is orange. So why not have a martini in orange? Considering that Cointreau is one of my favourite liqueurs, Orange Martini seemed to be a strong candidate for my list of favourite cocktails. I can assure you that you will see Cointreau used in lots […]
Combination of Lime and Blue Curacao Wherever you search, you’ll see that margarita is one of the world’s most popular cocktails of all time. A classic margarita is one of my favourite cocktails by far, too. I’m a Mediterranean person who grew up with lots of citrus fruits. No surprise that I love sour cocktails more than sweet ones and […]
Power of Women and the Meaning of Colour Purple Every year, the 8th of March is honoured as International Women’s Day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It has great importance to raise awareness about women’s equality and accelerate gender parity. This year, we don’t have a chance to gather with people physically to celebrate […]
Indulging in the Flood of Flavors When it comes to exquisite ingredients for martinis, the berry liqueur Chambord holds a special place in my heart. Its petite and captivating bottle only adds to its allure. Among the various Chambord recipes, there’s one that truly stands out: the Chambord gin cocktail. As a cocktail enthusiast, I adore the brand, its tantalizing […]
