Thirsty Thursday - Berry Xmas Cocktail!

Hiya!

Now if you don't have a man/woman/dog/iguana (not gonna judge) to cozy up to during Christmas, do not fret! This alcoholic beverage will make you go get one (just kidding!). This cocktail is my own personal blend of tacky and class that will make everybody go "What the heck is that?!"
You will need

  • 15ml of strawberry liqueur or syrup 
  • 15ml of raspberry liqueur or syrup
  • 15 ml of cherry liqueur or syrup
  • 15ml of the finest cognac you can get your hands on 
  • 15 ml of brandy
Again, mix up all of the above in a shaker and shake it (Duh!). Now if you do decide to use syrups instead of liqueurs, you can always upgrade to 30mls of cognac :) And if you want the "brain freeze" experience, you can add crushed ice to the glass and pour the concoction over it. It tastes equally yummylicious without the ice too. Top it off with cherries or strawberries or raspberries or whatever else that floats your boat. Garnishes always make a drink look so fancy.. 
To a boozy Christmas! Merry Christmas everybody!
Ciao!

Thirsty Thursday - Chocolate Martini!

Hiya!
This cocktail isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea..ahem.. alcohol I mean. Dedicating this to the ladies especially during those chocolate craving days..do not even bother denying it! A word of caution though.. I haven't sipped through this but gulped it down..here goes nothing..

To make this yummylicious drink, you will need

  • 15ml dark chocolate liqueur
  • 15ml white chocolate liqueur
  • 15ml Bailey's Irish cream
  • 15ml coffee liqueur 
  • 15ml vanilla flavored vodka
You will need a shaker for this one, just like all martinis. Combine all the ingredients and mix it in the shaker with ice. Strain and pour it into the glass. Serve with a chocolate curl or shavings. If you want it to be a bit more chocolatey, then you might as well chuck in some chocolate syrup. If you do find it difficult to find all the ingredients above, you can always substitute the Irish cream and coffee liqueur with chocolate flavored vodka and a bit of cream (but will definitely taste a bit different). To a boozy weekend! Ciao!

Thirsty Thursday - Rum and Coke with a twist!

Hiya!
Thought of having a theme for each day and the jobless person that I am, I thought why not alcoholic Thursdays. I know.. it doesn't have to be alcoholic and I am sure to come across some mocktail that I will like but till then alcoholic posts it is! I need no excuse to drink...right ladies??! Ahem.. just to get it out of the way, I am of age to drink and some days I feel too old (probably why I need a drink so badly..wink wink). I would strongly recommend teenies to click out of this article as we shall have no underage drinkers!

OK! Here goes nothing :
To make this wonderful concoction you will need :

  • 45 ml of dark rum
  • 45 ml of Malibu rum (coconut flavored Carribean rum)
  • ~150 ml of coke
  • 5 ml of ginger syrup
  • 5 ml of lemon juice











We are going to have this on the rocks! Yes we are! So shake the rum, Malibu rum, ginger and lemon juice. Shake it till you make it! Then add in the coke and pour it on the rocks (douchey way of saying ice me thinks). Serve it up. 
Enjoy!
