The heat is oppressive, and the hours of sunshine continue to entice us to spend most of our spare time outdoors with our spouse, friends, or family, either at home or outside.
If something more appealing than ever exists in this setting, replace the standard beverages with seasonal cocktails. Cocktails that, in the case of the classics, have a lengthy history and a formal preparation process. Let’s examine how to make some of these at home for when the summer “itch” strikes.
Margarita
Ingredients in a single serving:
An ounce and a half of tequila
One-eighth of triple dry
2 fluid ounces of lime juice
1 fluid ounce of lime juice
1 portion of lime
1 ounce of broken or crushed ice
Preparation:
All the ingredients are combined in a Manhattan shaker and briskly shaken for 10 seconds. After straining, the mixture should be poured into a margarita glass. To embellish, cut a slice of lime and prepare a combination of sugar and salt for the glass’s rim. Ready to enjoy?
Ingredients for a single Martini:
70 ml of Martini Extra Dry
1.4 ounces of apple juice
1 slice of citrus
1 olive or olive
2 ice cubes
Preparation:
Grab a Manhattan glass, the standard martini glass, and fill it with two ice cubes before adding the Martini. The apple juice should then be poured into the glass. As for the decorating, the classic olive or olive pierced with a toothpick must be present.
Tequila Sunrise
Ingredients in a single serving:
Two fluid ounces of tequila
4 fluid ounces of 100% orange juice
One-third of an ounce of grenadine
Condensed ice
Preparation:
We take a champagne glass and fill the bottom with ice. Next, combine the tequila and grenadine. Fill the glass up to the rim with fresh orange juice. Before consuming, mix the beverage with a long and fine spoon. We will embellish the glass by placing a sliced red cherry on its rim.
Daiquiri
Ingredients in a single serving:
half a cup of your preferred fruit pulp
2 fluid ounces of rum (some also prepare this classic with vodka or gin)
1 ounce of lemon juice
two teaspoons of sugar
1 ounce of liqueur made from the same fruit as your selection
Ice
Preparation:
For this recipe, we will first put all the fruit into a blender at maximum speed, followed by the other liquids and ice. We will wait a few seconds until a thick, uniform mixture has formed. To serve it, we will need to use a margarita glass that has been previously frozen.
