Fresh Shot – Strawberry
This is the first of our Fresh Shot range of recipes. We like to have these as shooters.
But sometimes we don’t want to buy a whole bottle of liqueur for one cocktail. With a few common ingredients you can whip this up and use it in your strawberry daiquiri, Strawberry Sour or over ice cream.
Because this contains fresh strawberry it cannot keep like liqueur. However, it can be kept for a week in the freezer. I’m not sure if it lasts longer as I’ve never had it that long. Hehehehe!
Recipients: Newly arrived guests. Welcoming them with a shot sets the pace for the rest of the visit.
Type: Shot
Read MoreOld Codger
This is our unsophisticated, easier drinking version of the popular, classic, finicky drink, Old Fashioned. It is so easy drinking you can use lower shelf all the way to underground bourbon.
Admittedly, this is not a beautiful looking drink. But it tastes great, drink after drink, even to people who don’t ordinarily drink bourbon, like us.
Recipients: People who need bourbon conversion that can handle their alcohol
Read MoreGin Fusion
A combination of gin and fruit tea infusion results in fresh, old school type cocktail.
We created this drink especially for Maya from Faraaz Tea. It uses their Fruit Tea. It’s the tea infusion that provides the rich red colour.
Faraaz Teas can be purchased online here.

Recipients: Gatsby fans, women that are often described as, “Ladylike.”
Type: Mix In Glass
Read MoreFab Ferreira
This is Fab. It does the job well and looks even better, just like it’s namesake. This cocktail is named after a football player a few of us follow, Fabio Ferreira. It is quite sweet, a bit salty and exotic. Saude!
Please try it. It is a revelation.
Recipients: Those that like eye catching glamour and really nice drinks.
Type: Shaken
Read MoreTea Rose
This is a subtle, long sipping drink for a hot day, maybe a lawn party if you are that sophisticated. Hahaha!
We created this drink especially for Maya from Faraaz Tea. It uses their Rose Bud tea, which has a delicate perfume. The spirit and mixer are deliberately light in flavour to let the rose aroma shine.
Faraaz Teas can be purchased online here.

Read MoreDefibrillator
This is our version of an espresso martini, except we can’t call it a martini since it contains not one martini ingredient. However, you might be left shaken, not stirred, after a few sips. 🙂
Recipients: Coffee lovers and those with strong cardiac muscles
Type: Made In Glass
Read MoreGin Genie
Magically, this has only 74 calories.* It is utterly drinkable and looks chic to boot. If you’ve made some New Year’s resolutions regarding healthy living, I can’t help you much. This contains gin.
Confession: Adele Bradshaw made us gin and tonic garnished with mint and cucumber. I loved the aroma so much I couldn’t stop thinking about it. But I wanted it in a relaxed, sipping drink instead of searching for it within the mouth puckering shock of tonic. Here is the result of my non original idea, my current favourite mixed drink.
Recipients: People sitting by the water, successfully wearing white and the rest of us.
Type: Made In Glass
