Any good cocktails for the summer?

Answer 1

Try Crushed ice with champagne (or Cava) Vodka Lemonade and Pineapple it is absolutely brill and you only need a couple to get rocking yum yum I want one now.

Answer 2

YES! Do you like jello shots? Make a package of jello by using the standard method: empty the jello in a bowl - add 1 cup of boiling water. Than add 1 cup of vodka or pucker as the cold water. Stir well. Pour into small cups (ketchup containers work well and if you spray them with Pam - the jello comes right out). Add a squirt of Rediwhip before you serve :)

Answer 3

Oriental Cocktail

2 shots whiskey
1 shot lime juice
1/2 shot curacao
1/2 shot sweet vermouth

Shake together well with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass.

Answer 4

Daquiris are nice. Lime juice, a bit of cocktail syrup, crushed ice and rum (to preferred strength) in a blender. Blend until smooth and serve in a margarita glass. Add fresh strawberries for a nummy fruity daquiri.

Answer 5

Pimms+lemonade+trimmings.

Answer 6

French 75 - put a champaign flute to chill in the fridge then when its ready, twist the top in some sugar to 'frost it'. Pour in a measure of gin, a measure of lemon juice and then top up with champaign (or sparkling wine) add a slice of lemon and an ice cube and away you go - this is really refreshing and really nice too!

Any cocktail is a good cocktail ~ my personal favorite is still a Marguerita, or a frozen Marguerita (if it's a really hot day...)
