Negroni with Orange and Prosecco Foam!

Third up was a Negroni with Orange and Prosecco Foam! I practiced this drink on some of my participants earlier in the week. They didn’t have a problem sampling this in the morning, most of us being Jubilados 😉.Now I know this is all by weight, which I did. But volume would probably also work. […]

Tomatini

This one came from Difford Guide. And proved a great drink. INGREDIENTS  METHOD The recipe tells me to prep garnish of a Tomolive, but they proved hard to source, so I went with a skewered cherry tomato and a basil leaf. Stir all ingredients over ice, then strain into an ice filled glass. Garnish with […]

Sage Bramble

Recipe from @the _shadow_bartender on IG This complimented our dinner last night, which was also Sage and Blackberry as a sauce, over some pork.The drink was great.

Ramos Gin Fizz

Mr. Henry C. Ramos I googled for the original recipe, and found this one on Epicurious. Then I cheated, and used my ISi Whip for the second shake. I had never had one before, nor ever attempted to make one. I watched a video the other day with @stevethebartender, where he tried 3 different variations […]

Champagne, Gin

It’s No Mimosa

From @thebitterfairy on insta Well, Paula created this drink, with me in mind, I’m sure. She states that champagne doesn’t improve orange juice, nor does orange juice improve champagne. I totally agree. I always think champagne is really like vinegar with soda water. I just don’t get the fascination with it. And never have. However, […]
