Simple and Delicious Cocktails to Make at Home
by Kevin Smith AuthorIf you love cocktails but hate how expensive they are at bars, try
making your own. Though it may seem like only a trained bartender can make
decent cocktails, many of the favorites are easy to make and only require a
couple of ingredients. Here are a few cocktails whose ingredients can be found
at the closest liquor store in Suwanee, GA.
Gin and Tonic
Gin and tonic is exactly what it sounds
like, gin mixed with tonic water. This is often a favorite for gin drinkers,
and can be adapted in many different ways. You can easily add a lime to
garnish, or swap out the tonic for club soda if you prefer a less sweet drink.
You can also make this drink with vodka instead of gin, and then it becomes a
vodka and tonic.
Cape Codder
Another two-ingredient favorite, a cape
codder, is often known by its other name, a vodka cranberry, precisely because
those are the two ingredients that make up this tasty drink. Similar to the gin
and tonic, the cape codder welcomes variations such as garnishes or adding
splashes of other juices.
Martini
This classic drink is simpler than you may
have previously believed. The martini also only consists of two ingredients,
either vodka or gin and vermouth. However, the variations are endless and
accommodate any taste imaginable. To make a martini the way you like it, try
including bitters, including a garnish, or adding splashes of other liquors.
Dark and Stormy
Perfect for many occasions, a dark and stormy can be enjoyed on a
hot day or a rainy night. This drink includes dark rum, ginger beer, and a
slice of lime. Similar drinks include using whiskey instead of rum, and Moscow
mules that uses vodka instead of rum. Ginger beer apparently goes with
everything.
Mojito
The mojito is the perfect summertime drink,
and easy to make as strong or weak as you’d like. This drink includes muddled
mint, lime, and sugar, topped with ice, rum and club soda. The fresh mint and
lime combination create an extremely refreshing cocktail.
Negroni
A negroni is a satisfying gin drink that is
made by mixing gin with sweet vermouth and Campari. The unique ingredient of
Campari is an Italian invention that has a sweet, orange, and herbal flavor.
Campari can be found in many delicious cocktails, and is also often enjoyed on
its own. The negroni is often served over ice and garnished with an orange
peel.
The next time you want a cocktail, visit the closest
liquor store in Suwanee, GA, and make your own.
Remember that many of these simple cocktails can be tweaked to your liking, so
don’t be afraid to experiment.
