Nutty African (Coffee Drink)

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:04:23 -0400

If you are a fan of hazelnut flavored coffee you will love this recipe. Amarula is an African liqueur made from the marula fruit; it lends a creamy caramel flavor to this coffee.

Cucumber Martini !

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 15:35:32 -0500

Have you had Hendrick's gin? Not for everyone this Hendricks Gin, is a dainty distillation from Girvan, Ayrshire, in the Scottish Lowlands. Made and bottled there, infused with the traditional botanicals like juniper, coriander and citrus peel. The difference comes in with cucumber and rose petals. Making a wonderful iconoclastic (breaking with convention or tradition) gin. Would be a wonderful martini with rose petals floating in the glass. -- posted by ~Rita~

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~

Spiced Amaretto

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:02:46 -0500

I love Amaretto or other liqueurs for dessert. This could go either way, before or after dinner. I usually don't like the taste of most hard liquors, but the spiced rum with the amaretto was incredibly delicious! The addition of club soda makes it a nice before dinner drink, and, alternatively, the cream makes it a luscious dessert drink. (And I admit to using fat free half and half and it was great.) Thanks to Boomette's Disacolada for the inspiration! -- posted by DeeCooks

Another gem from the Pom Wonderful website, this is an easy and delicious non-alcoholic alternative to other juleps.

The lime juice adds a depth of flavor that nicely complements the flavor of the pomegranate. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

Pomegranate Mimosa (Mocktail)

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:01:33 -0500

Perfect for Valentine's Day or any special occasion, this very simple yet elegant non-alcoholic cocktail comes courtesy of the folks at Pom Wonderful. The amount of the cider is approximate -- the original recipe simply calls for "1 glass sparkling cider", which I've estimated at 6 ounces so as to better fit into a standard champagne flute. Feel free to adjust to your tastes. Using a champagne flute will allow the beauty of the drink to come through, with the dark red of the pomegranate juice filling the stem portion as the cider sparkles above. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen
