Cocktails

Shaken or stirred, these drink recipes cover all the bases. Martinis, margaritas, all the standards are here along with some you've never heard of.

Chocolate Raspberry Martini

There are two versions of Chocolate Raspberry Martini recipes out there. One of them is clear and has just two ingredients. The other adds some color, plus a touch of Tia Maria.

The Kir Royale combines the flavors of black currant and champagne to make a fascinating aperitif – but you can drink it anyway you like. If you’re looking to impress someone with a sophisticated cocktail, Kir Royale is a great choice.

Negroni classic cocktail recipe

The Negroni has a bittersweet taste from the Campari. It can be an acquired taste, but it’s definitely one you should try.

Blue Russian drink recipe

So you’ve got your White Russians and your Black Russians, but have you heard of a Blue Russian? This cocktail is definitely one of the lesser known Russians. It uses Blue Curacao as its liqueur.

Purple Pushover drink recipe

The Purple Pushover is a rum cocktail, with orange and pineapple juice, red raspberry liqueur and grenadine. The taste is fruity, sweet and mellow.

Soho Martini recipe

The Soho Martini has a light orange and vanilla flavor, but if that makes you think “Dreamsicles,” stop. This is not a candy drink. It’s not even very sweet.

Fox River Cocktail

The Fox River Cocktail is bourbon based – specifically, it’s based on two ounces of bourbon and not a lot else. This should tell you two things about the drink.

Lemon Drop Martini

The Lemon Drop Martini is an extremely well-established classic. It actually tastes very much like the candy for which it was named.

Butterscotch Coffee Cocktail

The Butterscotch Coffee Cocktail blends two liqueurs with a full serving of hot coffee. It’s a fairly lightweight drink that’s perfect for cool evenings or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Cabo Cocktail recipe

The Cabo Cocktail is one of those drinks that makes you feel as good as it tastes. Tequila is a fun spirit, and here it’s blended with pineapple juice and just a touch of lime.
