The Cocktail Creation Thread

[Tonyator]

Anyone ever made their own Grenadine? Seems like it's just pomegranate juice and sugar, so I might give it a go...

And cocktail wise I've been enjoying (sort of)Mojitos recently using my home-made alcohol... and tesco value lemonade... It's not a proper Mojito but still tastes good, and costs almost nothing

White Russian
One of my favourites

2 parts Vodka
1 part Kahlúa
1 part cream/milk.

Over ice.

Ignoring this;

So, for the purpose of this thread a cocktail shall be any drink made from two or more different liquids. Water may be included in the cocktail but it must not be one of the two liquids required to qualify it as a cocktail. This is to prevent any smart arses (you know who you are ) from suggesting orange squash as a cocktail.

A cocktail is made up of 4 elements; a weak, a strong, a sweet and a sour.

One of my favorites to drink is a Caipirinha:

*2 heaped tsp granulated sugar
*8 lime wedges
*3 count of Cachaça (white or gold)

Muddle lime and sugar together in a old fashioned glass,fill 3 quarters with crushed ice, mix together than top off with more ice. They also taste great if you muddle in a fresh passion fruit with the lime and sugar.
