Virgin Mango Bellini
Fathers – for Mother’s Day, why not grab your kids and make a virgin mango Bellini for the female head of your home this Sunday?
No alcohol is needed here. This is a simple virgin cocktail comprising of fresh puréed mango, lime juice and sparkling apple juice.
Paloma Cocktail
It’s Cinco de Mayo, so how about a Paloma cocktail? In Mexico, Palomas are usually a combination of tequila and grapefruit soda. In the US grapefruit soda is often replaced with fresh grapefruit juice either with or without club soda.
That’s the recipe for today folks, tequila, simple syrup, grapefruit juice, lime juice topped with club soda. This is a very refreshing cocktail, ideally served in a champagne flute. I used stemless champagne flutes, something I like to do when serving a sparkling drink with no wine in it.
Thyme Tequila Fizz
The weather in New York this weekend has been mostly overcast with spates of rain. No grilling for me this weekend, so I put my desires of grilled salmon on cedar plank on hold and cheered myself up by creating a new cocktail – thyme tequila fizz. She’s wonderful! A sensational thyme-infused tequila based cocktail topped with cava.

Classic Champagne Cocktail
Celebrate the holidays with an impressive classic champagne cocktail. All you’ll need is some sugar cubes, bitters, cognac and a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine.
Spiked Apple Cider
Here’s a truly simple cocktail that doesn’t require a degree in mixology to get it right – spiked apple cider. As I said, it’s simple, just apple cider with spiced rum, and finally the pièce de résistance, the garnish. You can create drama in a glass with your garnish, I used a slice of rome apple.
Rum Daisy
It’s the weekend, so how about a rum daisy?
There are many variations of the daisy cocktail, so I decided to create one of my own and add maple syrup to the mix. The history of the daisy dates back to the 1870s and it is said to have been a basic sour mix with brandy, grenadine or raspberry liqueur and topped with seltzer. The rum daisy and many variations came about soon after. Follow my lead and create one of your own.
Organic Elderflower Presse Martini
It’s cocktail hour!
It’s Saturday night and I’m feeling alright, but that could be because I’ve taste tested an organic elderflower presse martini or two.
In my opinion, elderflower was born to cocktail addition, it blends so well with liquor and brings out or intensifies the flavors of your preferred vodka and gin. Today’s cocktail is gin based and real simple. One part gin, one part extra-dry vermouth, and two parts Belvoir sparkling organic elderflower presse. What’s wonderful about this drink is that it is completely organic. So if you are very nutrition conscious the organic elderflower presse martini will work for you, and if your not – hey, who cares! I am not terribly nutrition conscious, mostly due to the pressure organic foods puts on my purse strings. Although, Birke Baehr, a very young aspiring organic farmer says we should do what we can to eat locally grown organic foods and bear the cost now and “pay the farmer instead of the hospital” – a sobering thought, so I will try to do better. Try my organic elderflower presse martini, it’s good for you…. thin line, I agree.
