Kick in the streets

6 cherries

6 pieces of Hami melon (alternatively you can use rockmelon as well)

15ml Campari

30ml Smirnoff Vodka

Mash up the fruits till you get a nice bit of juice mixture from both, then add the campari and vodka, top with ice, and shake well. Strain it into two shot glasses. In a separate shot glass, add about 5ml of Grenadine syrup to sweeten, or to each person's taste. Just be careful not to overpower the taste of the fruits.

Red Bubble Head

60ml Campari
60ml Coca Cola
30ml Elderflower Cordial

Blitz with ice till you get a smoothie consistency, and serve. This drink has this herby after taste from the campari, yet when you drink it initially, you get the full blast of the sweetness of elderflower. A simple yet sophisticated drink.

Peanut Butter Rum Shake

60ml Amarula

15ml Bacardi Oro

1 heaped teaspoon of peanut butter (I used the one with grape jam in it, reason being it just tastes so good together)

1/2 teaspoon of condensed milk - for sweetness

Put it all into a blender and blend. To the volume of liquid present, add same amount of ice to it, such that the liquid covers the ice barely. Give it a good blend, and you should get your nice peanut butter rum shake.

Peanut Butter Shot

This was an idea given to me by Terence (cheers) from his trip to Butter Factory. I couldn't resist the temptation to make it and try it myself. I haven't actually tasted the one at Butter, but boy it took some time to make a smooth one! Enjoy!

This should make about 2 shots.

1 small teaspoon of peanut butter(although you can vary the amount of peanut butter in it to vary the sweetness but I do prefer mine a little less sweet and a little more smooth)
30ml of Baileys Irish Cream

A tiny splash of vodka
3-4 Ice cubes

Place all this into a blender, and blend it until you get a smooth consistency. Pour it into two shot glasses, and serve it immediately. POP!

I decided to go one step ahead to make it a little more interesting by adding about 15ml of Bols Blue to it. It gives a little bit of colour to the shot, and also a fruity aftertaste. My suggestion would be that the blue shot be the masculine side of the drink and the original the feminine. Any strong protests do feedback!

Maybe Maileys

Alright. This is a really crappy name, but here goes.

I wanted to have a sip of baileys again, but I didnt want it plainly on the rocks. So I decided to ransack the fridge for a little inspiration. And there it was. Mango juice. I decided to do a little half and half with mango and baileys, following it a splash of sambuca, shake with ice. The results were fantastic. What you got at the end is a smoothie consistency, unbelievably smooth maileys. Maybe.

Irish Creme de la Creme

Baileys has to be one of my top 5 favourite liqueurs, because of its versatility. We probably can mix many different flavours with baileys. Here's one so far:

30ml Caramel Vodka

30ml Baileys Irish Cream

30ml Bols Peppermint

Place all the liquids in a tall glass filled with ice, stir and serve.

Black milk

This drink is part of the milk-based cocktail faze. I love a bit of froth in my drinks, just like I do with my coffee. If you feel like living on the dark side for just one night, try this.

30ml Blackcurrant syrup

30ml Milk

15ml Cointreau

15ml Amaretto

Place the liquids in a shaker, shake it nice and hard, till you get a frothy mixture. (You could blend it if you're making it in bulk it works wonders). Strain it into a cocktail glass and serve.
