Directions

5 min.
1. Step

Firstly, chill your cocktail glasses. This will ensure your cocktail remains cold for a longer period, enhancing the refreshing sensation when sipped.

2. Step

In a cocktail shaker, add in your Midori, vodka, and fresh lime juice. Professional tip: Always opt for fresh lime juice instead of bottled ones. The natural acidity and zesty flavor of freshly squeezed lime juice will drastically enhance the cocktail's flavor.

3. Step

Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. The more ice you put into the shaker, the colder your drink will be. Make sure you seal the shaker tightly to avoid spills.

4. Step

Give the shaker a good shake for about 15-20 seconds. It might be tempting to shake it more, but cocktails should not be over shaken as it could dilute the taste.

5. Step

Strain your mixture into the chilled glasses.

6. Step

Top up the glass with lemon-lime soda. This adds a bubbly texture to the drink, providing a pleasurable drinking experience.

7. Step

Lastly, garnish with a slice of lemon or lime. Not only will this give a delightful visual appeal to the drink, but the citrus smell will also increase the flavor profile of the cocktail.

Sloe Gin Fizz

This is a classic, refreshing sparkler made with sloe gin, regular gin, and lemon juice, shaken and topped off with club soda. What to buy: Sloe gin is a red liqueur made from gin infused with sloes (also called blackthorn), a relative of plums.

Guinness Cream Soda

The classic, nonalcoholic version of a cream soda contains club soda, cream, and usually vanilla syrup. Our boozy version uses vanilla and ginger liqueurs instead of syrup and the creamy froth of Guinness stout instead of cream to take this drink from soda fountain to bar top. What to buy: Domaine de Canton is a ginger-flavored liqueur that can be found at specialty liquor stores. Navan vanilla liqueur is a vanilla-infused Cognac made by Grand Marnier.

Tom Collins Cocktail

The Tom Collins is a fine old drink—cocktail writer David Wondrich notes how it turns up (in a slightly different form) in Jerry Thomas’s seminal Bon Vivant’s Companion of 1877. Wondrich cites the drink’s “simple elegance”: just gin, lemon juice, and sugar, topped off with fizzy water. What to buy: Finely milled superfine sugar dissolves rapidly, avoiding any risk of graininess in the finished drink.

Cardinal Punch

Champagne and club soda lighten up this deep-red punch made with claret wine, brandy, and dark rum. Fresh orange and pineapple slices add a hint of citrus and bright color. What to buy: Wines labeled “claret” are red wines that contain a blend of Bordeaux grapes. You can find them in most well-stocked wine shops or online.

Ramos Gin Fizz

Famed New Orleans barman Henry C. Ramos is said to have invented this rich, potent, and frothy egg white and cream cocktail in the 1880s. Orange flower water gives it a lovely aroma.

Quick Mojito

Most Mojito recipes are served with tragically mashed mint leaves, guaranteeing two problems: bitter flavors from over-zealously crushed mint, and soggy leaves that get stuck in your teeth or straw. Make your Mojito the right way by gently pressing on the mint leaves to just release their oils, then straining them out to ensure an unencumbered sipping experience. Game plan: You’ll need to make the Simple Syrup before you begin.
