We are going to focus on summer and Christmas over the next few weeks to help solve those entertaining pressures and also assist you in getting through the Aussie summer heat (or anywhere in the world for that matter!). Remember that easy cocktails can be the best with very little equipment required and without the expense of having to purchase ingredients that are rare or seldomly used.
Here is another heat crushing cocktail that will help you get through another day.
45mls Absolut kurrant vodka, 15mls Blackcurrant liqueur (any cassis will do), 30mls Pineapple juice, Cup of ice
Vigorously shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker [read more...]
Ok, so it is a national heat wave. Adelaide & Melbourne have seen all sorts of records tumble in recent weeks and the rest of the nation is following suit. Red wines are looking far less inviting and the crisp white wines & summery cocktails are becoming more enticing.
With this in mind, we have decided to give you a recipe for cooling off on those days where the heat becomes unbearable. Not only will you look cooler while consuming it, but it tastes cool & it will definitely help you relax and take the heat in your stride.

Classic Caiprioska
Jul 31
I know it’s a cliché and I know it’s been done to death, but the Caiprioska is possibly the best addition to the global cocktail scene in many decades. Not since the Margarita or Bloody Mary has a cocktail instantly instilled itself into the international bible of cocktail recipes. You cannot disagree that it looks comfortable amongst its peers. The reason it took off the way it did is because it is durable and malleable enough to bend, twist and contort with any number of additions and changes.
The thing I love about it is, it’s simple with only a few [read more...]
Chicago 1951
Jul 24
This is undoubtedly my favorite of the sophisticated cocktails. When I was creating the cocktail list for Bamboo Restaurant & Bar I found the recipe in an old cocktail book. I loved the name and am a little partial to a martini so the opportunity was there. All that had to be done was test the recipe, a couple of times in fact - just to make sure, and I guess you can figure out the rest. Here it is as this week’s cocktail.
Just be careful, after drinking one of these you may feel inclined to find a girl [read more...]
