We all enjoy a martini, a sex on the beach or a cosmopolitan. But as our taste buds become too accustomed to these usual flavours, isn’t it about time we take a walk on the wild side and try a drink with a twist this summer. We’ve rounded up a selection of the most adventurous tastes currently doing the round on the bar scene. Now you may have to give the bartender some instruction on these less known delights, but we are sure they’ll go down a treat - no matter how they are made up! Red Velvet Shortcake A cake flavoured vodka? Yes, please! If you’ve got a sweet tooth, then you’ll absolutely love the Red Velvet Shortcake - which is made with cake flavoured vodka, Red Velvet Zing. It’s one of the sweetest cocktails around - and much more exciting than a strawberry daiquiri! Simply pop two strawberries in a cocktail shaker, add vodka, lemon juice and shake well - and garnish with a strawberry. Ingredients you’ll need… 1 1/2 ounces Red Velvet Zing Vodka 2 ounces of Creme Soda Splash of Lemon Juice 2 strawberries. Hot N Sassy For the more daring, sample the Hot N Sassy cocktail is complete with one of the spiciest ingredients you could imagine; jalapenos. We know, we’ve never thought about adding one of these into anything we’ve ever drank before - we are more accustomed to have them on our nachos! But we are always willing to try something new, and this tongue tickling delight will be a true wake up for your senses this summer. Ingredients you’ll need… 1 ounce of pucker vodka sour apple 3 slices of jalapenos 2 slices of clementines Splash of lime juice 1 ounce of lemon-lime soda The Gold Rush Who wouldn’t love a cocktail with the word ‘gold’ in its title! This little tickle goes down a treat and is a real joy for the palate whether you’ve just eaten or between your other nightly drinks. It’s sweet, tangy and strong - a real summery pleasure for when you’re out and about over the next couple of months. Ingredients you’ll need…1 ounce of Buffale trace bourbon A dash of Honey syrup ½ cup fresh lemon juice Lemon Juice 4 spring fresh mint (for garnishing) The Half Windsor We are big advocates of cocktails that aren’t made up of your usual mixes - lemonade, soda, and the like. So we sampled the half windsor and were presented with a glass of cucumber juice, we were pleasantly surprised by its summer, refreshing tang. A perfect choice for an evening in the garden...served chilled for the perfect taste. Ingredients you’ll need… 1 ounce of Voli Vodka 3 / 4 ounces of fresh cucumber juice 1/ 2 ounce of agave nectar 1/ 2 ounce of lime juice Plenty of ice Cucumber slices (for garnishing)
