cocktail hour or two

Discovering my new found love for cocktails, my inners screamed at me for not doing something about it. So now I have decided to find out or invent at least one cocktail each week. Presenting more than my share for this week, I have some of my personal all time favourites. Just to remind here, I still support drinking responsibly.

Almost cosmo... (coz cosmo is almost out and this one is almost in)
You need:
15 ml brandy
15 ml red wine (try Shiraz)
15 ml Grand Marnier
A splash of almond syrup
A dash of sugar syrup
Lime Juice to taste ( 3-4 drops recommended)
Now take loads of crushed ice in a shaker and pour in brandy, red wine and Grand Marnier. Add lime juice, almond syrup and sugar syrup. Now shake. Pour into a chilled martini glass and sip. Feeling like heaven guaranteed. :)

Enig-magic
You need:
30 ml vodka
30 ml gin
30 ml dark rum
15 ml peach liqueur
60 ml cranberry juice
A bottle of sprite
Lots of ice

Fill half a tall glass with ice and pour in all the ingredients one by one as listed till you have added cranberry juice. Now top it up with sprite leaving little space in the glass. You can aslo add lemon slices to add the magic. Stir well once or twice. Now sip slowly. The magic will soon get to you. Before you start floating, remember this drink is only for people who can handle it.

I hope you guys enjoyed every sip of these drinks. Wait for a week until I post some more drinks you would surely fall in love with. Till then, lets drink and be merry.
