What can beautiful ladies treat themselves to in honor of a well-deserved holiday? Of course, sweet alcoholic cocktails that are pleasant to the taste and not too harmful to a slender figure. We invite you to try the most popular cocktails on March 8th.
World cocktail
“Cosmopolitan” is a drink for real fashionistas. The world learned this truth thanks to the light hand of Hollywood. How to make the famous cocktail at home? Its main ingredient is Cointreau liqueur. Although it can be quite successfully replaced by Triple Sec or any other orange liqueur. Before cooking, cool all the ingredients in advance and fill the cocktail glass to the top with crushed ice. Next, alternately pour 50 ml of vodka, 25 ml of liqueur, 50 ml of cranberry and 25 ml of lemon juice into the shaker, then shake the mixture vigorously. Pour ice out of the glass, fill it with cocktail and garnish with a slice of lime or lemon.
Tropical paradise
Delicate sweet Pina Colada is a constant favorite of alcoholic cocktails for girls. Prepare it at home and throw an impromptu bachelorette party. Pour a handful of ice cubes into a blender, pour in 50 ml of light rum, 100 ml of pineapple juice and 50 ml of Malibu coconut liqueur. If desired, you can add sliced banana here. Then the cocktail will be thicker and richer. Whisk all the ingredients until a homogeneous mixture is obtained and pour it into a pre-chilled cocktail glass. Before serving, decorate it with slices of orange, pineapple and strawberries or cream.
Azure dreams
Do you dream of the gentle rustle of the sea surf and the velvety sandy coast? The Blue Lagoon cocktail will help you transport yourself to a tropical fairy tale. Let's start with lemonade. Cut the peel from 3 lemons, add 150 g of sugar, pour 800 ml of boiling water and let cool. Add the juice of squeezed lemons, leave it in the refrigerator for an hour, and then filter thoroughly. If you don’t have time, lemonade can be replaced with a mixture of 30 ml lemon juice and 120 ml high-quality soda. Fill a tall glass to the very brim with ice cubes. Next, pour 45 ml of vodka, 20 ml of Blue Curacao liqueur and 150 ml of ready-made lemonade into it.
Strawberry caresses
Another ladies' cocktail hit is the famous Margarita. The combination of stunning tequila and refreshing citruses is truly sweet to a woman’s heart. In addition, preparing such a cocktail at home is quite simple. We rinse 30 g of fresh strawberries under cold water, remove the stems and place them in a blender bowl. Add to the berries 50 ml of tequila, 20 ml of Cointreau liqueur, 30 ml of lime or lemon juice and 2-3 tbsp. l. crushed ice. Whisk all ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous drink. Before serving, wet the edges of the glasses and dip them in powdered sugar, then fill it with the chilled cocktail.
Chocolate perfection
Chocolate is perhaps the most tempting delicacy that almost no woman can resist. Therefore, recipes for sweet alcoholic cocktails with its participation turn out to be especially tasty. Melt 50 g of dark chocolate in a water bath with a mass fraction of cocoa beans of at least 75%. Add 40 ml of dark rum to it and cool slightly. Place 2-3 thin rings of hot red pepper on the bottom of the glass, season them with 3-4 drops of lime juice and carefully break 2 quail eggs on top. Carefully, without stirring, pour them with the chocolate-rum mixture. It is recommended to serve this cocktail with a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.
The magic of scents
Among alcoholic drinks, many ladies unconditionally prefer the classic Martini or vermouth. Its sweet, tart taste and subtle herbaceous aroma are ideal for creating a variety of cocktail fantasies. If you add a little sparkling champagne to your martini, you will get a particularly harmonious union. So, combine 50 ml of Martini Bianco, 60 ml of orange and pomegranate juice, 70 ml of cranberry juice and 100 ml of champagne in a shaker. Fill the glasses one third full with ice cubes and pour in the finished cocktail. Before serving, decorate them with lemon slices.
Fruit Sunset
Another child of the hot tropics is the Daiquiri cocktail, named after the beach of the same name near Santiago. The classic recipe contains only white rum, lime and ice. However, today in many bars you can find banana, strawberry and coffee variations. This is how “Daiquiri” has earned its place of honor among the recipes for light alcoholic cocktails. We offer you another interesting improvisation. Place 3-5 tbsp in a blender bowl. l. crushed ice, add 60 ml of white rum, 15 ml of passion fruit syrup, 30 ml of lime juice and whisk all the ingredients, then pour the cocktail into chilled glasses.
We hope you will enjoy our cocktails and brighten up your festive evening on March 8th. What delicious alcoholic cocktails for girls do you prefer? Share your favorite recipes in the comments.
Prepare your cocktail decorations ahead of time. Pre-made cocktails are usually not complete without garnish, so prepare the necessary items in advance. The main decorations are cocktail cherries, spirals and zest slices. For a more detailed description of making cocktail decorations, read the article “How to Decorate a Cocktail.”
Add some ice cubes to the shaker. Typically, the shaker is filled halfway with ice, although this depends on the design of the shaker itself. Leave enough space so that the ice can be shaken vigorously along with the rest of the ingredients in the shaker. Using a small glass as the top of a shaker, fill the bottom, larger part about halfway with lude. Boston shakers can be completely filled with ice because the bottom part with ice is connected to a large glass. Cobbler-type shakers are not used with a separate glass as an integral part, and have a built-in strainer (sieve). Boston shakers and others like them are used with separate strainers. Very often, two metal glasses are used as a shaker. Using a cobbler or a large and small metal glass connected together, it is possible to hold and shake the shaker with one hand. Metal glasses are more convenient for making well-stirred cocktails than a heavy glass glass.
Add all ingredients to a shaker. They can be poured without a measure or using a jigger. Add the ingredients needed for one or more cocktails, depending on the capacity of the shaker and the number of cocktails. If using a Boston shaker, add ice and ingredients to a glass glass.
Close the shaker. Once all the necessary components have been added, tightly connect the two parts of the shaker together. Make sure you do it firmly enough so that the liquid doesn't spill out when you shake it, but don't overdo it or you'll have trouble coming apart later.
Shake the shaker vigorously for five minutes. Keep both halves snug against each other. Hold the shaker vertically or slightly to the side and shake it from top to bottom. Hold it well in your hands so that you feel comfortable. You can use some additional shaking movements, such as side to side, to add a more interesting visual effect. For most types of shakers, use both hands, holding the base with one and the top with the other. The ingredients must be mixed well and cooled. When the cocktail is chilled and sufficiently mixed, condensation will form on the surface of the shaker and it will become cold to the touch.
- Using a Boston shaker, invert it so the glass container is on top. This will prevent the glass from bursting or liquid from leaking out. The cooling process that occurs during shaking causes a strong vacuum to form between the glass glass and the metal half (the metal contracts around the glass).
-
Remove the top from the shaker. Carefully remove the top glass from the shaker and place the strainer on the bottom. This is very simple with shakers, which are made entirely of metal, but more difficult with Boston ones. They are much more difficult to open. For all shakers, place the bottom metal part on the surface before removing the glass top. For Boston ones, hold the lower metal part firmly with one hand and the glass upper part with the other. Try to twist the glass part forward or backward a little in order to pull it out of the lower metal glass, while lifting the glass top. Do not try to twist the glass too much, as this may further force the two parts together. For cobblers, simply remove the top cap. Never hit the shaker to open it, but you can press it with your free hand.
A visual guide to making 20 of the most popular, trendy club cocktails at home. The main thing for a cocktail is not the preparation technique, but the presence of ingredients, but now that the secret is open, you can easily prepare cocktails at home.
A mixture of tastes and aromas, sweetness and bitterness, brightness, lightness and ambiguity - all this is so close in spirit to our short summer. Let's prepare a cocktail, get away from stereotypes and mix up our lives in a new way.
If you can’t do without a cocktail, choose ones based on dietary tonics or natural juices.
What party would be complete without intricate alcoholic cocktails? Take, for example, the notorious Pina Colada, which, without exaggeration, can be called a regular at fun parties. Sweet, pleasant taste - you won't even realize you're drinking alcohol... But be careful! This is an insidious thing, firstly, you can unnoticedly become drunk, and secondly, you can even more imperceptibly gain a couple of extra pounds. One glass of Pina Colada contains up to 625 kcal (depending on the recipe). And this is not surprising, because there is rum, sweet pineapple juice, coconut milk syrup, and even cream to boot... But if the temptation to eat something delicious is very strong, get ready for active action!
Rarely do parties end with just cocktails. As a rule, they are also accompanied by a snack. If you are the hostess of a holiday, try to keep it light and dietary. Fruit salads and slices, canapés with vegetables and low-fat cheese, and seafood are suitable.

Children of Prohibition
In the 1920s, Prohibition reigned in the United States. But people did not stop drinking. Underground bars and restaurants illegally purchased alcoholic beverages of varying, often very low quality. And so that they would not taste so disgusting, the owners tried to prepare all sorts of mixtures from them - with the addition of sugar and salt, juices and syrups, and various fruits.In 1921, they created the Bloody Mary cocktail from vodka and tomato juice. In 1924 - “Side Car” (Side Car) based on cognac, orange liqueur and lemon juice. Visitors liked the mixtures. And soon cocktails became America's favorite drink. After World War I, Americans discovered Europe, flocked to Paris and London, and brought with them jazz and cocktails, which conquered the Old World with incredible speed.
What is the essence of the cocktail?
You need to select and mix its components in such a way that you get a new and harmonious taste, from which nothing “sticks out” - neither alcoholic strength, nor sweetness, nor sourness with bitterness. Most often, five or six components are combined into one. If you take too many ingredients, the taste is strangely leveled out. There is an element of mysticism in creating cocktails: you combine seemingly incompatible things and get something surprising and harmonious. Once you make a couple of cocktails, you will want to create more and more.Cocktail is very personal
Making cocktails is also about psychology, as different mixtures of drinks have different effects on a person. Someone who comes to the bar sad should not be offered the same cocktail as a joyfully excited guest. There are cocktails that are quite universal in their effect: for example, “Dry Martini” perfectly relieves emotional stress, and “Key of Riga” based on “Riga Balsam” and apple juice liberates and creates a festive mood.And sometimes the bartender creates a cocktail for only one client, obeying inspiration and his own interpretation of his personality. And this cocktail will not suit anyone else except this client, but for him it will be delicious and healing, like ambrosia, it will bring him out of depression or emphasize and enhance joy.
Cocktails in company
The food to accompany the cocktail requires the same originality. This beer can be enjoyed with salted nuts - this will not work with cocktails. We serve them with a variety of dishes - from salads to meat. But they must be prepared in a special, “cocktail” way - a complex drink requires gourmet food: goat cheese parfait, cod caviar with creme brulee, steak in kumquat sauce and red wine, home-smoked salmon.What is cocktail thinking and cocktail lifestyle?
This is the art of creating something unique from a mixture of the familiar, accurately dosing the new and slowly enjoying the result. The cocktail lifestyle is vibrant, does not tolerate haste and is conducive to conversations and friendly fun. It is surprisingly good on vacation: on the shore of a warm sea, in the garden or on the terrace of a house - or in an apartment whose windows are wide open. You gather a company of a variety of guests, which only your charm and a couple of good cocktails can combine into a single whole, prepare snacks, fancy drinks and enjoy the result.Millions of people around the world love alcoholic cocktails. At the same time, many of them do not even realize that many of them are easy to prepare at home. On the contrary, there is an opinion that mixing drinks is not so simple.
Of course, there are recipes, the preparation of which requires bartender skill and rare, expensive ingredients. However, many popular alcoholic cocktails are incredibly simple and won't require a major investment. That is, people often simply lack information.
I present to your attention recipes for the simplest cocktails that are easy to make in your own kitchen at home.
