I started with the French Martini and not only do I remember the recipe now but I actually sold 4 of them or 25% of the people I served last night. Here are some more.

Some Drink Recipes

Here are some drink recipes that I have to recite by heart in the very near future. I will put some recipes on today and a few in a week from now. They are quite intriguing to say the least.

Luxury Martinis


The Maple Berry Martini

Belvedere Vodka , Absolut Raspberri , muddled cranberries , maple syrup and cranberry cocktail.

The Grape Ice Martini

Ketel One Vodka , Vidal Ice Wine , muddled green grapes and white grape juice.

The Euroberry

Wyborowa Exquisite Vodka , Grand Marnier , Creme de Cassis , muddled blackberries and cranberry cocktail.

Of course any of the vodkas above you can just use the vodka you drink. No need to go out and buy the premium brands mentioned above. Also the measures are all equal parts as far as the liquor goes.

Here are a couple of Flute Cocktails I need to know as well.

The Cherry Samba

Sagatiba Cachaca ( this is from Brazil and made from sugar cane ) , Cherry Brandy , freshly squeezed lemon juice , white cranberry cocktail and an egg white froth. Obviously a shaken drink to get the froth.

The Passionate Bubbles

Alize Red Passion liqueur , Campari , Freixenet sparkling wine , Island Originals passionfruit , freshly squeezed orange juice and cranberry cocktail. This would be shaken and topped up with the Freixenet.

I will have 5 more next week. Tonight it is back to work. Last week was good so let's see how this week goes.
