Drink recipes

The Martini. We touched on this earlier. I believe the art of making a Martini is to do as little as possible with it.

An Aperol Spritz is your friend on a summer afternoon. But with just a few effects, you can turn it into something very special and wonderful.

We’re in the wild back roads with this one. The taste is wild and fierce, and you just can’t stop making this cocktail because it tastes so good.

The original is made with Scotch whisky and Drambuie. In this recipe, the scotch is swapped with D Aurum. The result is a fresh taste of summer, with lots of kick and fruit.

Pimm’s is as English as tennis and cricket, and the thing to drink when watching those great sports. Make it in a large bowl for a garden party.

Martini is the ultimate challenge among bartenders. How can you be creative with only three ingredients? My answer is to cheat a little, and add a twist.

An Old Fashioned Cocktail is a beautiful thing, especially because its simplicity means it can be made to be very difficult.

The 20th Century Cocktail is a fun and weird experience. Another train drink like the Alexander Cocktail.

This is for drinking, and it beats the traditional cognac by a long way.

Forget everything you usually use, and make something fresh and spicy. Lemon, ginger and spices – your guests will want more!

A youthful, aromatic, feminine and refreshing spring drink with dill aquavit.

Perfect for lunch, especially at Easter when lots of fish are served. A dry Sekt has been used in the recipe, but a standard sparkling champagne is just as good.

Use a sorbet made from sweet apple juice, and together with the bitter/salty/sharp taste, it is the perfect ending to a great meal.

After your Easter lunch and before the chocolate eggs are eaten, there is nothing nicer than a little break in the sun. Gather your guests, and give them each a drink. You will be crowned the year’s host.
