Midori Martini

A melon flavoured “martini” that packs a rather solid punch

The Mash Bill:

3oz Vodka
3/4oz Midori
3/4oz Triple Sec

The Work Order:

  1. Fill shaker with ice
  2. Pour all ingredients into the shaker
  3. Shake vigourously until frost forms on the outside of your tin
  4. Strain into a martini glass
  5. Serve

My Thoughts:

The original recipe that I tried only used 1/4oz of midori, and I wasnt really tasting the melon, so I increased it by 300% and it tasted pretty good! :P

Apple Martini

A very simple “martini” that has an apple flavoured theme to it

The Mash Bill:

1.5oz Vodka
1oz Apple Schnapps
2oz Apple Juice

The Work Order:

  1. Fill shaker with ice
  2. Pour all ingredients into the shaker
  3. Shake vigourously until frost forms on the outside of your tin
  4. Strain into a martini glass
  5. Serve

My Thoughts:

This cocktail was ‘average’ in my opinion, I think this is to do with the apple schnapps that I used; Im going to have to buy a differnt brand and try again :)

The Strawberry Daiquiri

Tonight I decided to be a bit creative and branch out from my usual Bourbon and Coke, to try something a bit more exotic. Where did I end up.. With the Strawberry Daiquiri, a simple drink with a fruity flavour and a bit of a punch.

The Mash Bill:

2oz – Rum (Usually White Rum, but I only had Dark Rum on hand)
½ oz - Fresh Lime Juice
¼ oz – Simple Syrup
6 – Fresh Strawberries  or Strawberry puree from the bottle-0
Ice

The Work Order:

  1. Cut the strawberries in quarters after removing all the green bits
  2. Put them in the bottom of your cocktail shaker and muddle (crush) them
  3. Pour in Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
  4. Pour in Rum
  5. Mix with muddler or spoon
  6. Fill shaker with ice and shake til frost forms on your shaker tin
  7. Strain into a Cocktail glass
  8. Enjoy the refreshing taste of fresh strawberries

This was a drink I wasn’t to sure on, as Im not a big rum drinker; I was refreshingly surprised at how smooth this drink was going down and how good it tasted, next time I will add a little more simple syrup to the mix to make it a little sweeter
