Today is Riesling's Birthday, so we are drinking a Rhine Wine Cobbler.
20 best St Patrick's Day cocktails
St Patrick's Day not only calls for you to dress in green but to toast the Emerald Island with emerald-coloured Irish whiskey-based cocktails, stout, or
Mar de Plata
Not so far removed from a Corpse Reviver No. 2 in style, this gin-laced aperitivo is dry and aromatic with intertwined citrus and herbal notes.
Bouchot
A calvados-based White Negroni. (If you measure in ml rather than ounces, perhaps use a 50ml, 25ml, 25ml recipe.)
Mole Old Fashioned
A corn and rye whisky-based Old-Fashioned with the chocolate and spice notes, as befits the name.
Italian Passion Margarita
A bittersweet, passion fruit Margarita.
Gypsy Rosolio
Gin-laced, floral, rich elderflower balanced by sour and faintly bitter citrus.
Alpine Martini
Genepi's alpine flavours enhance this herbal Martini.
Volare
An unlikely combination of ingredients gives a pleasing, strangely almost floral flavour.
Barracuda No. 2
Lightly bourbon-laced and delicately bittersweet with lemon freshness. The oils from the garnish are an essential toning element.
Marquette
A sweet Martini with almond, cacao and carob notes from crème de noyaux.
Marqueray
Your grenadine could make or break this colourful gin-laced sour.
Golden Banana Flip
A white fluffy head tops this golden coloured, bourbon-laced and banana-flavoured, after-dinner cocktail.
Midnight Fizz
A light, fluffy and refreshing sour that offers invigoration, that's perhaps best appreciated during the witching hours.
Royal Jubilee
A Sidecar made with apple brandy (calvados) in place of brandy (cognac).
Scotch Neg
As the name suggests, this is a tasty, peated whisky-laced riff on a Scotch Negroni that's far more approachable than the ingredients might suggest.
Rye Tai
A rye whiskey-based, word-play riff on a classic Mai Tai with pineapple, citrus and herbal notes.
Deansgate
Rum and herbal honey liqueur enhance each other, with lime adding flavour, freshness and balance.
Hearst Martini
A Fifty-Fifty Sweet Martini with orange and aromatic bitters.
Scofflaw
Just on the dry/tart side, crisp and superbly refreshing without being overly citrusy. I've used bonded-strength rye whisky, so you'll need to up the
Apple Blossom Cocktail
Concentrated lightly herbal apple with subtle zesty citrus. Stupidly simple and quick to make, yet delicious.
Genever Sour
Bready genever notes enhance this sour.
Dublin Minstrel
A riff on the classic Last Word cocktail, substituting Irish whiskey for gin.
Wingspan
Gin-forward spirituous notes counter sweet expressive liqueurs in this Aviation-inspired Martini variation.
