Easy Cocktail Recipes

The familiar golden egg yellow of advocaat is preferred by many when it is lengthened with soda or tonic and given an added tang of lemon.

This rather ominous-sounding cocktail is actually a gorgeously creamy and richly-flavored concoction that is delicious whatever the weather conditions.

Don’t expect this cocktail to be full of apples! The base is sharp and astringent, while the top is sweet and frothy- no discrimination here, of course!

Crème de noyaux has a wonderful, slightly bitter, nutty flavor, but is, in fact, made from peach and apricot Kernels. It is usually served as a liqueur, but does combine well with some other ingredients in cocktails.

It looks dramatic and icy cold, but it tastes delicious and has enough kick to warm you up despite the cool blue.

This can be quite sweet and rich so enough ice and the right touch of soda water are important!

Creamy and richly flavored with a hint of daring, just like Mexico.

Applejack in the United States, Calvados in France and apple brandy as a generic term-whatever you call it, it provides a delicious fruity flavor and a tempting aroma to this cocktail.

This is similar to pousse-café, where the liqueurs are layered, but, in this case, the heaviest liqueur is coldest and is added last, to create the slow sinking effect!

Just sip quietly and your blues will soon drift away…
