Grenadine Cooler

Fri, 15 Jul 2005 13:19:07 -0400

This drink is very popular in Saudi and is served in most restaurants. Different syrups are used in this manner to create different variants but this one is my favourite. The other popular variation is to use club soda instead of the lemonade soda, which makes it dry. I prefer the lemonade soda -- posted by lemoncurd

Pina Colada Bubble Tea

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:34:57 -0400

A refreshing new twist on an old favorite. This is for the Asian tapioca pearl drink that is very popular in Taiwan now. Bubble Tea isn't hard to make at home and it is a lot more healthy and fresher tasting to make at home. If you don't have a cocktail shaker just use a 16 oz tightly sealed thermos or jar. I used a thermos and it works great! I will include recipes for the tea base. Note: You have to purchase the Bubble tea straws to drink up the large tapioca pearl. Otherwise you can use regular pearls, but that's not as much fun! -- posted by Bubblehead17

Bubble Tea Sugar Syrup

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:38:20 -0400

This is the liquid sweetner used in all Bubble tea drinks. It is used both to cover the tapioca pearl and sweeten the drink. You can use all white sugar for fruit flavored drinks and green tea base drinks. It can be easily made diabetic but substituting Splenda for the sugar in the recipe. This is how I make it but not everyone is okay with Splenda. This recipe has been borrowed from www.ellenskitchen.com/recipebox/bubblet.html -- posted by Bubblehead17

Traditional Tea Base for Bubble Tea

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:38:45 -0400

This makes about 30 servings. You can cut it down to suit how many servings you would like. It is a strong boiled tea base which you use 1 cup of ice to balance it in each single 16 oz Bubble tea. It can be made with green tea, red tea, chai tea, oolong tea, Thai tea blend, yerba mate or coffee. Make sure to weight the tea bags to get correct amount.

This is a popular asian flavor and it reminds me of oreo cookies. It may sound odd but it really is delicious. Try it and you may just love it! Note: Black Sesame Powder can be found in Asian Grocery stores anywhere. The tapioca pearls are Minute brand found in Asian Grocery stores. They are grey in colour. I will post my recipe for black sesame paste shortly. -- posted by Bubblehead17

Pistachio Bubble Tea

Thu, 09 Aug 2007 10:20:45 -0400

This is a delicious bubble tea flavor. It has more texture than the normal bubble teas. The excess pistachio pudding mix adds another creamy texture at the bottom of the glass. For my OCD purposes I have added a drop of food dye to get that green pistachio colour. Note: You can use sugar free pudding mix. The tapioca pearl are grey in the package and can be found at asian supermarkets. -- posted by Bubblehead17

The Raffles Hotel Original Singapore Gin Sling Cocktail

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 14:15:17 -0500

The Singapore Sling is one of those wonderful drinks that we probably have all heard of, but perhaps have never had. And because this recipe is often incorrectly recorded in most recipe books, even if you've think you've had it, you probably haven't. One of the key, and often overlooked ingredients in this drink is Benedictine. While the resulting flavour is not overly predominate, it does add a certain taste profile that would be totally missing without this secret ingredient. None dispute that the Singapore Sling was originally created by Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon for the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. However that is where the agreements end. The exact date is in question, with some people claiming it was in 1915, some 1913, while the hotel itself claims that it was created sometime prior to 1910. There is also plenty of disagreement as to how closely the current version of this drink that is served at Raffles is to what was originally served. Apparently the original recipe was lost and forgotten sometime in the 1930's, and the drink that they currently serve at the hotel's Long Bar (see recipe below) is based on memories of former bartenders, and some written notes that they were able to discover. Whatever the truth may be, this "iconic" drink is still enjoyed today, as much as it was back in the early 20th century! Maybe, the only way to really appreciate this cocktail, is to sip it slowly whilst sitting in a rattan chair, under the ceiling fans in the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel! -- posted by French Tart

Crouching Tiger

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:46:41 -0500

The Crouching Tiger is a simple shooter to make, but unlike many others, it tastes really, really good. Maybe too good. It's simply a shaken tequila and lychee liqueur shooter that is so sweet, it can replace any candy any day. However, it is so tasty that you may find you've had one too many; they are addicting. -- posted by Julie B's Hive

Summer Breeze - Kunpu

Tue, 27 May 2008 01:44:46 -0400

In Japanese kunpu is the breeze that wafts in during the early summer months, carrying with it the aroma of just opened leaves. The main ingredient is matcha, a powdered green tea used in the tea ceremony. It has beautiful color as well as certain bitterness and depth. You can purchase matcha from Japanese markets or online. I like using brand specially used for cooking/baking/drinks as shown on the photo. If you prefer your drinks stiff, you can skip club soda. I enjoy both ways. If you need info on where to obtain matcha, you can zmail me. -- posted by Rinshinomori

Authentic Cypriot Taverna Brandy Sour Cocktail

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 02:19:16 -0400

These were without doubt the most popular drink that we served in the restaurant I ran in Cyprus! They are known as the National Drink of Cyprus, and are delicious as well as being very refreshing. We used to make these with the local Cypriot brandy, which is not as strong as normal French brandy or cognac and has a delectable caramel taste to it. We also used the local angostura bitters, known as "Cock Drops", which as you can imagine, brought raised eyebrows and howls of laughter from overseas guests and tourists! A little history behind the cocktail: The Cypriot Brandy Sour style was developed following the introduction of the first blended brandy made on Cyprus, by the Haggipavlu family, in the early 1930s. The cocktail was developed at the Forest Park Hotel, in the hill-resort of Plátres in the beautiful Troodos Mountain range, for the young King Farouk of Egypt, who often stayed at the hotel during his frequent visits to the island. The Brandy Sour was introduced as an alcoholic substitute for iced tea, as a way of disguising the Muslim monarch's preference for Western-style cocktails. The drink subsequently spread to other bars and hotels in the fasionable Platres area, before making its way to the coastal resorts of Limassol, Paphos and Kyrenia, and the capital Nicosia. With increasing numbers of tourists visiting the island in the last thirty years, and the large garrison of British servicemen stationed on the island, the Cypriot Brandy Sour is now known around the world. This is how we used to make them in our restaurant - a trade secet shared!! -- posted by French Tart

Green Tea Mojito

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:05:27 -0400

We've all heard of the health benefits of green tea these day, haven't we? Yes we have...thus I will dare to rationalize my little cocktail as being healthy in my mind! LOL. The flavor of the green tea is apt to get lost with the strong flavors of the rum and lime so resist the urge to add more of these ingredients. I recommend Tazo Zen Green tea blend as I think it has enough umph to stand on its own here. Original idea came from the Mellow Monk. Adapted to suit my tastes. -- posted by Kitchen Witch Steph

Flaming Volcano
