Being aphrodisiac is secondary, as this drink always impresses and, in general, everyone likes it. Making one requires talent and recommending it shows interest, confidence and attention. We want all of this, don't we?
A cocktail is a carefully thought-out and balanced combination of different drinks, whether alcoholic or not, which results in a complexity of flavours, and even textures. Inviting someone for a cocktail or even making one at home is always different and original.
Our bartenders thought about this and offer here six suggestions with easy and quick recipes to reproduce at home. If you don't want to make them by yourself, just order them in a bar near you, sit down and enjoy.
1. Red Blossom
Put 4 cl of gin, 2 cl of peach liqueur, 2 cl of lemon juice, 2 cl of sugar syrup and three raspberries in a shaker. Shake well and double strain (filter the solid ingredients that you put in the shaker). Pour the rest into a chilled cocktail glass. To finish, garnish with blueberries to your liking.
2. Berry Naughty
Smash berries with 2 cl of red fruit tea syrup or sugar syrup in a shaker. Add 3 cl of tequila, 1 cl of Parfait Amour and 2 cl of lemon juice. Shake everything well and double strain (filter the solid ingredients that you put in the shaker) into a chilled cocktail glass. To finish, decorate the side of the glass with sugar and garnish with two or three berries.
3. Señorita
Smash three raspberries and three blueberries with 2 cl of sugar syrup in a shaker. Add 4 cl of Patrón Reposado tequila and 2 cl of raspberry liqueur. Shake well and double strain (filter the solid ingredients that you put in the shaker) into a lowball glass with crushed ice. To finish, add 3 cl of cranberry juice and garnish with a lime quarter.
4. Flirtini
Pour 2 cl of pineapple vodka and 2 cl of pineapple juice into a chilled cocktail glass. Slowly fill with sparkling wine or champagne of your choice and garnish with cherries on top.
5. Citrus Blush
Add half a glass of crushed ice. Then, pour 2 cl of Limoncello, 4 cl of gin and 2 cl of lime juice. Stir well to combine the flavours. Finish with grapefruit juice and garnish with lime zest.
6. Sex on the beach
Put 4 cl of vodka, 2 cl of pineapple liqueur and 4 cl of cranberry juice in a shaker. Shake well and pour into a highball glass with ice. At the end, you can garnish with orange slices to your liking.
