Cocktails – Non-Alcoholic And Otherwise
Well done – you've finished all your domestic cleaning London and your house is sparkling. And what better motivation for having a good clean up than preparing for an elegant cocktail party? But what are some good cocktails to serve at a cocktail party, including some for the designated drivers or teetotallers who would rather stay off alcohol? Here's a few classic recipes.
Alcoholic cocktails:
* Manhattan: seven parts rye whisky to three parts sweet Martini. Mix over ice then add a dash of Angostura bitters. Stir together, then pour into a chilled glass. Traditional garnish: a cherry.
* Martini: 9 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth. Stir together (unless you are serving the martini to James Bond, in which case it should be shaken, not stirred) and pour into a chilled glass. Traditional garnish: a twist of lemon (peel and maybe a bit of the juicy part) or a green olive on a toothpick.
* Cosmopolitan: 3 parts vodka, 3 three parts cranberry juice, two parts triple sec/Cointreau, two parts lime juice (not lime cordial). Shake together with ice and pour into a chilled glass. Traditional garnish: a slice of lime fitted over the side.
* Margarita: 4 parts tequila, 3 parts triple sec/Cointreau and three parts lime juice, with a splash each of egg white (which will make it froth slightly) and sugar syrup. Shake together. Traditional garnish: dip the rim of the glass into lemon juice then into salt – do this before pouring the margarita in.
* Pisco sours: 8 parts Pisco (a variety of Peruvian brandy – you can use whisky, in which case, you are making whisky sours), 4 parts lime juice, 3 parts sugar syrup, white of one egg. Shake together, then garnish with a splash of bitters, if desired.
* Mojito: Put a handful each of fresh lime (chopped) and mint leaves into a tall glass. Put in two parts of sugar, then add in six parts white rum and two parts lime juice. Fill with ice. Traditional garnish: a sprig of mint.
* Bloody Mary: 3 parts vodka, 6 parts tomato juice, 1 part lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Shake together, then pour over ice and add celery salt. Traditional garnish: a celery stalk.
* Sangria: red wine (plenty), orange juice (moderate amount), sparkling mineral water (optional) and brandy or triple sec (smaller amount). Mix together in a large jug and add chopped fruit, usually apples and oranges, but you can also try peaches, kiwifruit and banana. The brandy or spirits can be omitted for a less potent version that contains so many antioxidants it's almost healthy.
* Piña Colada: 3 parts white rum, 3 parts coconut cream, 3 parts pineapple juice. Shake together with ice. Traditional garnish: a slice of pineapple and a cherry.
* Daiquiri: 9 parts white rum, 4 parts lime juice, 1 part sugar syrup. Garnish with a wedge of lime.
Non-alcoholic cocktails:
* Virgin Mary: 6 parts tomato juice to 1 part lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Shake together and serve over ice, and add celery salt. Garnish like a Bloody Mary (which it is based on).
* Virgin Piña Colada: equal parts coconut cream and pineapple juice. Serve with ice. Garnish like a regular Piña Colada.
* Shirley Temple: two parts ginger ale, one part orange juice and a splash of grenadine. Shake together. Traditional garnish: a cherry or a slice of lemon.
* Roy Rogers: a mixture of grenadine and cola. Traditional garnish: a cherry.
* Dolce and Gabbana: a variation of the Roy Rogers, using diet cola instead of "regular" cola.
* Jefferson: iced tea and orange juice.
* Faisal Ali: equal parts orange juice, ginger ale and cranberry.
* Pomme Noir: apple juice and cola
For a good cocktail party where people don't get too messy, it's important to make sure that you have plenty of nibbled handy, and think beyond the traditional nuts and prawns – some people are allergic to fish and/or nuts.
