Lemon Drop Champagne

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 14:44:58 -0400

I am not a big drinker, so this sounded perfect for me! Sandra Lee made this on her show today, and I will be making it this week!! (I had to guess on the size of the Champagne bottle....I don't have one on hand to know the exact size) -- posted by SkinnyMinnie

Two-Basil Sparkling Lemonade

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 16:03:34 -0400

A common herb used in an unusual way! I have two types of basil in my herb garden - lemon and sweet. I think these two would be perfect for this recipe. Others can be used also, for example - cinnamon or opal. Combine those with the sweet basil for this refreshing drink. You can also substitute dry vermouth for the tequila....DH and friends like the tequila. -- posted by SkinnyMinnie

Bourbon Slush

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 21:05:51 -0400

Delicious summer drink. I've seen a couple recipes on this site, but I think mine probably isn't as sweet. It's been described as "a long island iced tea with bourbon." We keep some in the freezer all summer long! -- posted by Raiko

Frozen Minted Lemonade

Thu, 27 Jul 2006 08:41:46 -0400

We had a nonalcoholic "bar" at our corporate summer picnic this year, and this was one of the most requested drinks. People came back for seconds, thirds, fourths.... Some might like more mint than the recipe calls for and some might like less. Quick and easy, I blend it up right before dinner and it is really refreshing! (Add 2 oz. of Vodka or Rum and it is a fabulous cocktail as well!) -- posted by Cooks4_6

Cafe Brulot (Café Brûlot Diabolique)

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 19:52:51 -0400

A Creole flambéed dessert coffee that is still served in grand style at some of New Orleans finest restaurants. This is a very special after-dinner drink, spectacular for entertaining. Can be prepared at the table with lots of fanfare to impress the guests. There are special brulot bowls made to prepare this drink, but a round, chafing dish works well. If you don't care about fancy presentation, you can just use a saucepan over low heat on the stovetop instead. -- posted by littleturtle

Leveque's Skip and Go Naked Cocktail

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 21:06:19 -0400

The LeVeque restaurant no longer exists in Portsmouth, Ohio, having closed its doors back in the 1980s.

Jasmine Martini for Lovers

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 23:03:40 -0500

My new favorite Martini. I'm a lover of gin and Campari and the 2 of these together is seductive. Campari's an Italian alcoholic aperitif obtained from the infusion of bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water. Secret recipe originally developed in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Milan. With its distinct red color, aroma and flavor, Campari is a symbol of passion. Campari is a bitter aperitif made according to a Campari is the result of a unique blend of aromatic herbs mellowed in selected spirit. Campari has an astringent, bittersweet flavor to me it's like pink grapefruit. -- posted by ~Rita~

Lemon Cream Martini

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 20:34:16 -0500

A yummy lemon alternative to a lemon drop - can you ever have too many martini recipes?? YUMMY!!! Thanks again to Sandra Lee for another fabulous recipe!! She featured an entire show of lemon based recipes -this one, Lemon Chicken Soup,Lemon-Herb Butter-Basted Chicken,Lemon Garlic Broccoli, and Lemon Pudding Brulee with Blueberries ALL of which I am submitting because I think it would make for an awsome spring/summer dinner party idea!! Enjoy- I know we will!! ** Note - she did use a Lemon Drop RImmer by Stirrings to rim the glass - check them out if you haven't ever used their products for your tini's - they have something to enhance your favorite - just a fun touch to make them that much more fun when throwing a party!! ***Update - original recipe called for 1/2 oz Limoncello, but everyone at our party agreed that it was MUCH better with at least double, so I changed the recipe to 1 oz. Make to suit taste. ;) -- posted by Mommy Diva

Cantaloupe Liquado

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 15:32:07 -0400

A refreshing drink with a unique flavor. Tou can kick it up a notch if you want with adding a little alcohol. I think that strawberries or maybe even a little more lime (or even lemon) would make this even tastier. -- posted by Topher

Homemade Advocaat

This is a is a rich and creamy liqueur. Found this on the web-tender. Normally made from eggs, sugar and brandy. Variations: Substitute 1/4 to 1/2 cup brandy or 1 cup of rum for same volume of vodka. Do try a flavored vodka or rum. Traditional way to serve it is in a wide glass with whipped cream and cocoa powder sprinkled on top. The Recipe #220603 is a very popular drink made with it! -- posted by ~Rita~

Carolina Veranda Lemonade (Alcoholic)

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 22:16:26 -0400

This is a great summer party beverage! Perfect for sitting around the veranda with guests. Pleasing enough for all different tastes, including those who do not drink. Pairs wonderfully with a backyard barbecue. The idea behind the drink was a quick Mojito for a crowd, without all the work. If you want to make a pitcher change the servings to 6. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Chilean Pisco Sour

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:27:35 -0400

Pisco is a clear brandy that is popular in both Peru and Chile. The white muscat grapes, from which pisco is distilled, were first grown in Peru by the Spaniards in the 16th century (at that time Peru & Chile were both part of Spains American empire.) When they became independent countries, both claimed the liquor as their own. Therefore the national drink of both Peru and Chile, is the rich Pisco Sour. However there is a difference in sweetness and the citrus used between the two countries piscos. I have posted both recipes so be sure to try the Recipe #243479 as well. Note: Egg whites are sometimes used in chilean pisco sours as well, but for the purist, they will say it is unnecessary adornment. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Slushed Slushy Slush

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 17:32:50 -0400

This is a great party drink recipe. You need to make it at least a day in advance. I like to leave a container of this mix in my freezer during the hot summer months. Whenever friends pop by (or if you've had a hard day!); it's easy to scoop out into glasses, add 7up or gingerale and you have a refreshing drink! I'm guessing at the serving amount, I just know that it makes A LOT! -- posted by LifeIsGood

Limoncello Lavender and Vanilla Cream Liqueur

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:12:35 -0400

I came up with this variation of this limoncello which is lusciously creamy with the essence of vanilla and lavender. After making Kim's Recipe #296066. This is to be sipped icy cold on a hot summers day with your eye closed. Relax Ahhhhh! Making it a comforting excellent aperitif. Served chilled from the freezer in a frosted liqueur glass. Keep refrigerated with in 1 month of freezer 6 months. Try to use 100-proof vodka, which has less flavor than a lower proof one. Also the high alcohol level will ensure that the limoncello will not turn to ice in the freezer. -- posted by ~Rita~

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

Looks like it takes some effort to make but gosh does this sound good! This came from a blogger named Patty on the vox site. Sounds like she knows what she is talking about. Her recommendations: Use only the best lemons, ones whose skins give off a lemon sent and smell heavenly. A neighborhood lemon tree is ideal. If not, go organic. Also, make a large batch as it will go quickly once friends get a taste. Makes great gifts. I am posting this for ZWT4 per a teammates request. -- posted by Kitchen Witch Steph

Aviation

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:58:55 -0400

This recipe is from Eben Freeman, bartender of Tailor Restaurant in New York City. For this classic cocktail, essentially a gin sour with a cherry garnish, Freeman believes that the quality of the ingredients is paramount. He prefers Maraska maraschino liqueur, which has a cleaner and less funky flavor than other brands, and he replaces the traditional, artificially flavored maraschino cherry with a homemade version. For instructions on making homemade maraschino cherries, see the bartender's note, below, or simply substitute a pitted fresh cherry. -- posted by Annacia

43 Caipirinha

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:33:13 -0400

Licor 43, or Cuarenta Y Tres, is a bright yellow liqueur made by Diego Zamora S.A. in Spain. It is made from citrus and fruit juices, flavored with vanilla and other aromatic herbs and spices, in total 43 different ingredients. It is 31% alcohol by volume at 62 proof. <br> Licor 43 has gained increasing popularity within the last years and is more and more often used as an ingredient for a cocktail named "Caipirinha 43", in where it replaces the commonly used cachaca. Although the liquor is popular and available all over the globe, it is only recently that this liqueur is finding itself in regular liquor stores in the USA. Previously it was found in specialty shops and liquor stores of notable size.<br> The history of this fine liqueur supposedly dates back to the ninth century B.C.E when Phoenician traders found Carthage. The culture that emerged soon found themselves noted for their libations. The Carthaginians were repeatedly invaded and overrun throughout history, but managed to hold onto the recipes of their liqueurs. One of these ancient recipes survived and ingratiated itself into the Spanish culture and was even present on the trans-Atlantic voyages of Columbus. The recipe contained forty three different citrus fruits, aromatic plants and other ingredients. It came to be known simply as Cuarenta Y Tres. <br> -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Limoncello

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:46:28 -0400

Traditionally served in the hot summer months, this also makes an excellent sipper during the cooler months of fall and winter when you may want to reminisce with a taste of summer. This is so easy to make--just make sure to plan ahead because it does take some time. It also makes a fantastic hostess gift or stocking stuffer. If you can find Meyer lemons, use them in this recipe; they add a wonderfully fruity flavor and aroma to the finished drink. If they are not available, standard-issue lemons from the grocery will work out just fine. Make sure your lemons are washed well to remove any stamping or wax; and when removing the zest, long strips work out best and are easiest to strain out of the finished product. EXTRA: To get the most out of your lemons, juice them after removing the zest. Strain out the seeds, freeze the juice in ice cube trays and then transfer to a freezer bag. They will keep for several months and each cube will yield about a tablespoon of juice whenever you need it. Enjoy ice-cold as is or mix with club soda or sparkling wine; also tasty drizzled over fresh fruit or sliced pound cake for a quick dessert. -- posted by Hungry Hogareno

Prohibition Party Punch

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:25:02 -0500

This recipe is from an old cookbook I found. Homemade wine or beer was legal as long as it contained no more than one-half per cent alcohol. From Every Woman's Cook Book by Mrs. Chas. F. Moritz (1926) p. 617. If you can find a bootlegger in your area, I think some rum or whiskey would really perk this up. This recipe makes a LOT!

In this grown-up float, "sorbato" (a cross between sorbet and gelato) stands in for the ice cream, and bubbly Prosecco is used in place of soda. These look so pretty, served in champagne flutes! Bon Appetit Magazine. April 2009 edition. ;) Get the ice cream machine ready! -- posted by Manami

Nirvana Lemonade - You'll Only Want This Lemonade 4eva!!!!

Sat, 02 May 2009 02:59:32 -0400

OMG! My friend in Germany took my to a Thai restaurant that had lemonade with ginger and basil. I thought to myself "What a wacky combination!" So I decided to try it. OMG! OMG! The ground moved, the clouds parted and I heard angel voices singing in 4 part harmony. It was that good. This, is as close as I can come to replicate that glass of beverage perfection I found in Germany. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. (The only thing that could make this more perfect is vodka.) -- posted by BBCFan

Amaretto Sweet and Sour

Tue, 05 May 2009 14:00:21 -0400

I was craving an amaretto sour sooo bad but was unsure how exactly to make one and none of the recipes here on Zaar sounded quite right so I made up my own. You can adjust the sweet to sour ratio to your tastes by adding more lemon juice or more simple syrup. I know this isn't traditional but it's darn good. Serving size is approximate. I used a tall 'pepsi' glass per person but you could easily split into two smaller glasses. Enjoy. -- posted by Bekah49036

Purple Basil Lemonade

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:21:31 -0400

From Cooking Light Magazine's July 2009 edition: "In this recipe, basil is crushed with sugar to release the oils. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, process the basil, sugar and about 1/4 cup of water in a food processor or blender." I am eager to serve this at my next party. The recipe doesn't indicate this, but I would personally place the strained lemonade into a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve. When having a party, it's always best to prepare ahead if possible! -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

Homemade Limoncello

I have enjoyed tasting a good friend's Limoncello and since I have a very productive lemon tree, I decided to make it myself. It is delicious and in a side-by-side, blind taste test with the store bought liquor, my husband preferred this homemade recipe! -- posted by CaliforniaJan

Lavender and Strawberry Fruit Cup from Wolds Way Lavender Farm

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:14:53 -0400

A boozy lavender fruit cup made with vermouth, herbs and fresh strawberries! How good is that! This is another gem of a recipe that I discovered on a recipe card from Wolds Way Lavender Farm in North Yorkshire, England which is just 10 minutes from my parent's cottage. The delicately flavoured drink is the perfect way to unwind after a long, hard day........It is almost better than Pimms, and, as Pimms is my favourite summertime tipple, that is really saying something! Sit back, relax, sip and enjoy! -- posted by French Tart
