Cocktails and Coolers for the Summer
Friday, June 3rd, 2011Any cocktail can hit the spot when Summer comes around. However, when you’re baking in hot temperatures, whether lying on the beach under tropical climates or feasting on hot barbecued food in the garden, there are certain flavours which hit it better than others. Cocktails are so much more than just any chilled drink. A cold beer may do the trick for some but there is a certain Summer expectation being met on a Saturday afternoon, sitting in the sun holding a refreshing cocktail with your favourite combination of vodka, fruitless and blended ice.
The Old Fashioned. The ingredients are dependent upon where you are drinking it and who is serving as they vary somewhat. Typically, however, you can expect a combination of whiskey, Angostura and syrup with an orange twist. Sometimes, rather than ice cubes, it is poured over an ice glacier large enough to fill the glass. This is preferable to those who take their time to savour their cocktail as it stays chilled for longer.
The Ginlet. A cocktail guaranteed to quench your thirst, it is made up of gin and Rose’s lime juice. Many puritans object to gin being used instead of vodka, as it often is, but in reality, they both are equally strong and can leave you feeling just as refreshed.
Sangria. A great combination of a relaxed wine and something with a little more twist for those having trouble on deciding upon which drink to choose. It is actually considered to be a traditional Spanish wine punch but numerous bartenders put their own spin on it.
The Southside. All the ingredients of a mojito apart from one key element, rum is used as a substitute for gin. Most bartenders will know how to make this drink and it provides the perfect tonic for a warm Summer’s day.
