The Temperature is Heating Up! Try My Two Latest Creations to Cool You Down!

Spring is in the air, the temperature is starting to soar and it’s time to think about cocktails that will quench your thirst and cool you down. I have an entire line of cocktails coming for Spring and Summer 2010 and here are the first two, appropriately named “Spring Awakening” and “Summer Solstice”!

Here’s how you make them..

“Spring Awakening” …Freeze six to ten small cantaloupe and honeydew melon balls until completely frozen. Place the frozen melon balls in the bottom of a tall glass. Combine 1 3/4 oz Vodka, 1/2 oz Melon Liqueur and a splash of Triple Sec or Cointreau into a shaker full of ice and shake vigorously. Strain into the glass over the frozen melon balls. Top with Proseco or Champagne.

“Summer Solstice” …Combine 1 1/2 oz Vanilla Vodka, 1 oz White Cranberry juice and 1 oz Hypnotiq Liqueur in a shaker full of ice and shake well. Strain into a tall glass. Drop a splash of Grenadine into the cocktail until it rests on the bottom creating a second layer. Garnish with a cherry at the bottom of the glass.

Enjoy them both and come back in the coming weeks for more exciting warm weather cocktails!

Cheers! David
