46. COCKTAILS & MOCKTAILS

1. BLOODY MARY ( Vodka + Tomato Juice + Capsico + Worcestershire Sauce + salt + Pepper + Fresh Lemon Juice)
Prepare a glass by wetting its rims and dipping it in salt so that a nice layer of salt is visible on the rim. Now carefully pour 60 ml Vodka, 60 ml Tomato Juice, 1-1.5 tsp Capsico, 1-1.5 tsp Worcestershire Sauce, 1/4 tsp Salt, 1/4 tsp Black pepper powder, 2 slices of fresh lime (Nibu) and a few ice cubes. Stir and serve. (My personal choice would be to dilute tomato juice with water to dilute the thickness of tomato juice.)




2. SINGAPORE SLING (Gin + Fresh lime + Sugar Syrup + Rose syrup + Soda): In a tall glass, pour 60ml Gin, 60 ml Shikanji (Mix of fresh Lime +Sugar syrup) or Minute Maid's Nimbooz, 30 ml Soda, a few ice cubes and a tsp of Rose Syrup. Serve without stirring. One may like to replace Rose Syrup with Rooh Afzah to give it an interesting twist. 

3. TOM COLLINS ( Gin + Fresh Lime + Sugar Syrup + Soda): In a tall glass, pour 60 ml Gin, 60 ml Shikanji (fresh lime +Sugar Syrup) and 30 ml soda. Stir, add a few ice cubes and serve. 

4. SCREW DRIVER (Vodka + White Rum + Orange Juice + Mountain Dew or Shikanji (Sugar Syrup and Fresh Lime) or Minute Maid's Nimbooz):  In a tall glass, mix together 20 ml Vodka, 20 ml White Rum, 30 ml Orange Juice, 30 ml Minute Maid's Nimbooz or Shikanji or Mountain Dew and a few ice cubes, stir and serve.

5. PLANTER'S PUNCH ( White Rum + Black Rum + Vodka + Orange Juice + Pineapple Juice + Fresh Lime): Mix 15 ml White Rum, 15 ml Black Rum, 40 ml Orange Juice and 40 ml Pineapple Juice and shake well. Add 3-4 ice cubes in the drink, pour 50 ml Vodka on top and place a wedge of fresh lime. You may also top it up with a few small pieces of cut fruit.

6. CUBA LIBRA (Rum + Fresh Lime + Cola): Pour 60 ml Rum (preferably Old Monk) in a glass, squeeze a little lime, put a few ice cubes and fill up with Coca Cola or Pepsi, stir and serve.

MOCKTAILS
For making mocktails of any of the above, do not put the alcoholic drinks.

TIPS & TRICKS
The quantities of ingredients are only suggestive and may be varied as per your individual taste and alcohol requirement. It is perfectly in order to reduce the alcohol component and increase juices or soda as per your alcohol quotient.
