Thank you so much to everyone that joined us for Dirty Dancing with Cocktails on Saturday night. What a night!?
As promised, these are the cocktail recipes so you can recreate them at home:
Kellerman Cooler - the perfect arrival drink at Kellerman's Resort Hotel
60 ml white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
15 ml good vodka (cheap vodka will be the only thing you taste)
15 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
12.5 ml elderflower cordial
15 ml orange juice
Stir the above ingredients in a tall glass with cubed ice and top up with a dash of Sprite or 7UP to sit on the top with a sprig of mint to garnish
'I Carried a Watermelon' Daiquiri - Nobody gets into a Dirty Dancing party without a Watermelon!
40 ml white rum, we used Barcardi
20 ml Aperol
20 ml sugar syrup (buy ready-made or make your own 50/50 sugar and water brought to the boil and left to cool)
20 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
50 ml watermelon juice (one large watermelon will give you approx one litre of juice - blitz it and the sieve it but you can buy watermelon juice in cartons)
Pop all the ingredients into a shaker, do the 'mashed po-tater' with your shaker, pour into a martin glass, tumbler or small wine glass, top up with crushed ice and add a piece of watermelon to the rim or a Haribo Watermelon Sour
Thyme of My Life - we had to shoehorn this in somehow!
15 ml runny honey
15 ml sugar syrup
50 ml white rum
20 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
25 ml apple juice, not from concentrate
Add the above ingredients to a tall glass, stir well and then add ice. If you add honey to a glass with ice you'll have a sticky lump in your glass that won't dissolve. Top with a splash soda. Use a sprig of thyme to garnish but not before giving it a few slaps in the palm of your hand to release the oils and aromatics from the herb.
Nobody puts Baby in the Corner .. Star Martini
40 ml vanilla vodka, we used Absolut
20 ml Passoa
15 ml Monin passion fruit syrup
20 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
Shaken vigorously over ice, poured into a martini glass and served with a shot of ... Babycham
