One of the younger generations of classics, this became popular during the cocktail revival of the 1980s and has reminded so ever since.
Black Russian
History records only white and red Russians. The omission of the black Russian is a sad oversight. For a coffee liqueur, you can use either Tia Maria or Kahlua, depending on your personal taste – the latter is sweeter.
Dragon Lady
The rich fruit flavors of orange, pomegranate (provided by the grenadine) and lemon, blended with white rum make a really lovely long summer drink.
Faux Kir
A non-alcoholic version of the classic wine cocktail, this drink is just as colorful and tasty. French and Italian fruit syrups are often then best quality and have the most flavors.
Angelina
Use canned pineapple in this recipe and you are bound to be tempted to make some of this delicious concoction for all the family, too.
Pineapple Smoothie
This is a popular combination for a smoothie- one smooth sweet fruit and one tangy and textured fruit. You might like to try your own variation.
Eye of the Hurricane
In recent years, a vast range of fruit juices ans syrups has become widely available. These can extend the range of the cocktail bar and are particularly useful for non-alcoholic mixed drinks, which were once heavily dependent on the rather tired old favorites of orange, lemon and lime juices.
California Smoothie
Smoothies of all sort – alcoholic and non-alcoholic- have become immensely popular in the last two or three years. The secret of success is to blend then or medium speed until just smooth.
Sweet Dreamer
Wonderfully creamy and thick with fruit and goodness, the perfect wake up package or early evening settler.
Cinders
Yes, it’s non-alcoholic but no-one needs to know if you dress it up well.
Citrus Fizz
This is a clever and refreshing variation on the classic Buck’s fizz, which is perfect for all ages in the family.
Island Cooler
Nothing could be more refreshing on a hot summer’s day than this colorful combination of tropical fruit juices. To get into a party mood, go to town and decorate with a cocktail parasol, swizzle stick and straws, as well as fresh fruit.
