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.

Simple Black

Not exactly what it sounds like, but just a momento of what has been an up and down, messy and one hell of a busy week(s) for me. A flood of drinks are coming, as I start to concentrate more power (and energy) on my creation of new drinks, and heres the first of a few to come.

Simple Black requires simple ingredients:

60ml Blackcurrant Cordial (any will do, although the concentration and strength differs from cordial to cordial so add to taste)
30ml Bombay Sapphire Gin
30ml Smirnoff's Vodka

Pour these liquids into a tall glass filled with ice to the brim, and top up with soda water to give it the necessary fizz. Ah. I've been waiting some time for this drink to calm my senses.

Cheers!

missJ (Apple Milk Martini)

This has got to be one of my favourite female drinks. At this moment. I know and I'm sure most of you have heard of the stigma that male drinks are mostly full-bodied and bold and BITTER, whilst female drinks (or should I say drinks for females) are predominantly sweet and a little more subtle and smooth. But what the hell I do like sweet drinks. And I sure do like this one. As follows:

Many thanks to my lovely friend Joan Chua for sort of giving me inspiration for this drink, although I cant remember how and what you said but still credit does go to you for this one. Haven't done the milk layering that I promised, but it will come soon, once I get some inspiration. Can feel it coming.

AppleMilkMartini

30ml Apple Juice
30ml Fresh Milk
15ml Elderflower cordial
1/3 of a nice crunchy apple, chopped (refrain from using fuji apples, use granny smiths instead or another other if you cannot get your hands on to any of those)
30ml Smirnoff Triple Distilled Vodka
30ml Bombay Sapphire Dry Gin

In a shaker, muddle the chopped apples, until you get a nice consistency. Alternatively, you could blend it as well. Once that is done, top it up with ice, and pour in the liquids in order. I prefer to use elderflower cordial as a sweetener here because of the extra flavour it brings to the drink, giving it more sophistication. If you cannnot get your hands onto elderflower cordial, feel free to use sugar syrup! Give it a good shake, and strain it into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of Apple. (I forgot the garnish!!!) If you're a guy, serve it to the ladies, be a real gentleman. But if you're a lady, please hang on to it, you definitely do not want anyone touching YOUR drink.

CHEERS!

F.R.O.Z.E

This came as a total brainwave. You got to execute this really quickly, so I would suggest that you take a good read through this whole recipe first before you start on it. Its a lot of work, but a lot of fun as well!

45ml Midori

4 ice cubes

Blend it until you get a nice smoothie consistency, then pour into a tall glas.

45ml Bols Blue

4 ice cubes

Blend it again, but now instead of pouring it into the tall glass, tilt the glass slightly, to around 45 degrees, and slowly pour the blue smoothie mixture into the glass. You should get your second layer.

45ml Bols Lychee

4 ice cubes. Again, blend this mixture till you get a nice white smoothie, and pour it into the glass the same way as the Bols Blue.

Take About 20ml of Grenadine Syrup, place it in a shot glass, and serve. The drinker has the honour of pouring in the Grenadine Syrup if he wants it, and then he will stir the drink. Best consumed with a straw

Sublime

I have a headache. And although this isn't the best way to cure a headache, time and time again it hasn't failed me. I have always believed that the best temporary cure to that niggling thing stuck at the side of your head would be a strong, powerful burst of extreme emotion, or in my case, flavour. In most cases, I would turn to a nice bowl of extra spicy curry or Tom Yam soup. However, in this case, I have decided to turn to a decently sour punch, with a hint of sweetness, though its important that it doesn't overpower the potential this drink can provide. Its potent, yet effective. Suitable after a hard day's work.

30ml Tequila

30ml Bols Blue

30ml Midori

60ml Sour Mix

60ml Cranberry Juice

10ml Grenadine Syrup

Pour your ingredients into a tall glass filled with ice, in this order. You should get a nice 3 layered drink of red green and blue. Stir well before drinking.

OMG its refreshing sweet.
