No Comments
LONG ISLAND ICED TEA

The Long Island Iced Tea (also: Long Island Ice Tea) is a type of alcoholic mixed drink typically made with vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, juice and a splash of cola, which gives the drink the same amber hue as its namesake. Although its name suggests this, it does not contain tea, but it looks like iced tea because of the cola it contains. The five “white” (clear) spirits rum, vodka, gin, tequila and triple sec. are, usually in equal proportions, added with juice to a large long drink or fancy glass filled with ice cubes and a splash of cola. Lastly, it is decorated with the lemon slice and a straw, after stirring with bar spoon smoothly.

INGREDIENTS

  • 20 ml/ ¾ oz. white Rum
  • 20 ml/ ¾ oz. Vodka
  • 20 ml/ ¾ oz. Gin
  • 20 ml/ ¾ oz. Tequila
  • 20 ml/ ¾ oz. Triple Sec.
  • 10 ml/ ¼ oz. lemon juice
  • Top half with orange juice and half with Cola

METHOD

  1. Add all ingredients into highball glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir gently.
  3. Optionally garnish with lemon slice.

NOTES

There are numerous legends about the origin of the cocktail. According to one version, it is said to have been invented by a rich, bored housewife on Long Island, New York. When she secretly reached into the house bar, she only took a small amount from each bottle, since her husband should not notice anything about it. As a cover, she filled the drink with cola. It also tells of students who used small amounts from their parents’ bottles.

Momosa Cocktail Recipe

The Mimosa cocktail is composed of Champagne (or other sprakling wine) and chilled citrus juice, usually orange juice.

The mixing ratio of the classic mimosa differs based on the source.

  • 75 ml/ 2 ½ oz. Champagne
  • 75 ml/ 2 ½ oz. orange juice

METHOD

  1. Ensure both ingredients are well chilled.
  2. Mix into a Champagne flute.
  3. Garnish with an orange slice.

NOTES

The Mimosa cocktail is named after the yellow-flowered mimosa plant. The combination of sparkling wine and orange juice has been consumed for centuries in Spain, especially where oranges and cava and other sparkling wines are plentiful. A good alternative is the Django Reinhardt cocktail.

3 Cocktails with Jägermeister

3 Cocktails with Jägermeister

Not only the hunter drinks Jägermeister on the high seat. There are also great cocktails with Jägermeister. Here are three beautiful Jägermeister cocktail recipes:

SURFER ON ACID

STORY

The spices and herbs of the Jägermeister combine with fruity and exotic coconut and pineapple – simply fruity and delicious!

INGREDIENTS

  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. Jägermeister
  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. white coconut Rum
  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. pineapple juice

METHOD

Put all ingredients together on ice cubes in a highball glass and stir well.

NOTES

For this cocktail I use the Belmont Estate Coconut Rum. It is an excellent proof that the Caribbean produces first-class sugar cane and therefore the best rum. He comes from the small Caribbean island of St. Kitts and was allowed to store for several years in oak barrels. Its special character is given by its delicate coconut flavors, which immediately create a Caribbean feeling.

SIX POINT STAG

STORY

Six ingredients can be intimidating, but don’t back down from this stag.

INGREDIENTS

  • 45 ml/ 1 ½ oz. Jägermeister
  • 10 ml/ ¼ oz. Stroh 80 overproof rum
  • 15 ml/ ½ oz. Falernum
  • 15 ml/ ½ oz. lime juice
  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. pineapple juice
  • 2 dashes orange bitters

METHOD

  1. Combine all ingredients except Jägermeister and bitters in a tall glass in this order: rum / Falernum / fresh lime juice / pineapple juice
  2. Add crushed ice and then gently mix with a spoon
  3. Then add more ice and top with Jägermeister and bitters.
  4. Garnish with a pineapple slice and a sprig of fresh mint.

FLYING HIRSCH

STORY

The Flying Hirsch is not a classic cocktail, more a mixture of long drink and shot.

INGREDIENTS

  • 20 ml/ ¾ oz. Jägermeister
  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. Red Bull

METHOD

A small, iced, bottle of Jägermeister (20 ml) is placed in a tumbler and filled with Red Bull to the “stag”.

NOTES

So that the Jägermeister can mix with the Red Bull, the Flying Hirsch is drunk slowly, but all at once.

Stinger Cocktail Recipe

No Comments
stinger cocktail

The Stinger cocktail is a duo cocktail made by adding white crème de menthe to cognac (although recipes vary). The cocktail’s origins can be traced to the United States in the 1890s, and the beverage remained widely popular in America until the 1970s. It was seen as a drink of the upper class and has had a somewhat wide cultural impact.

INGREDIENTS

  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. Cognac
  • 20 ml/ ¾ oz. crème de menthe (white)

METHOD

  1. Pour all ingredients into cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake well and strain into tumbler with fresh ice.

NOTES

The Stinger cocktail is a duo cocktail, in that it uses only two ingredients: a spirit and a liqueur. The classic Stinger recipe uses three parts cognac and one part white crème de menthe. However, Stinger recipes vary, and some recipes call for equal parts brandy and crème de menthe. The mixture was originally stirred, although modern recipes call for it to be shaken with ice.
