Winter Cocktails
We had great fun in our Holiday Cocktail Classes this season and here are the recipes that were the class favourites.
The Holiday Season is a fantastic reason to dust off your martini shaker and bar tools and enjoy some delicious cocktails. Below we have some of the class favourites from our Holiday Cocktail classes. All of these cocktails are easy to make and are certain to bring that "wow' factor to any winter get together.
A Holiday classic, this easy to make drink is a delicious winter sipper.
1.5oz Advocaat
3oz Chilled Sparkling Lemonade.
Pour lemonade over Advocaat in cocktail glass. Serve with sprinkle of nutmeg, candied cherry, or toasted coconut. (drink can be served over ice)
(Advocaat is a creamy yellow liqueur that is made from egg yolks, sugar, brandy and vanilla and has a soft custard flavour. It can be also used poured over ice cream, pound cake, cheese cake or even waffles.)
1.5 oz Ice Wine (white or red)
1.5 oz vodka
Frozen grapes (raspberries if using red ice wine)
Pour ingredients into shaker with ice and shake well together. Strain and pour into martini glass and garnish with frozen grapes or raspberries.
