Whatever your occasion, nothing beats a light, delicious and artfully crafted homemade alcoholic cocktail for the gentle sex. Especially considering the fact that most of them are prepared using a simple kitchen appliance. Homemade cocktails in a blender are no worse than those that we are used to ordering in trendy clubs, bars, expensive restaurants, etc.

How to make homemade cocktails? There is nothing easier! Below are some cocktail recipes with detailed recommendations.

1) Homemade liquor "Baileys".

Required ingredients for homemade Baileys liqueur: 400-500 g cream 22%, 380 g condensed cream, 350 g whiskey (vodka), 100 g dark chocolate without additives, 30 g vanillin.

First of all, we will need to dissolve the bitter chocolate with a water bath, then carefully, stirring, pour half of the available cream into it. Mix thoroughly until smooth, then set aside for a while.

In the second - the remaining - half of the cream, add vanillin, beat well until the spice is completely dissolved. Mix them with chocolate, and beat again. Then alternately pour in whiskey (if not, you can take vodka) and condensed cream. After each of the added ingredients, the mixture must be thoroughly beaten until smooth!

We send the finished cocktail to the refrigerator, it must be served exclusively chilled, if desired, ice can be added.

2) "Satisfaction of lounging."

Ingredients: 10 ml of raspberry tincture and vodka, champagne. The first two ingredients must be stirred in a shaker with ice, poured into a glass. And it is advisable to save the champagne until the guests arrive, otherwise it will fizzle out, and the ladies' cocktail will no longer be so tasty. We fill them with an empty part in our glass, now it remains to serve a cocktail.

3) Sangria "Tropical".

To prepare four servings of sangria, you will need: 1 liter of red wine (necessarily dry), 500 g of ripe peaches, 300 g of grapes and melons, 200 g of gin (vodka can also be used), 100 g of sugar, one apple and one banana, half lemon, a pinch of ground cinnamon.

Finely chop the existing fruit into cubes. We take a decanter or any other glass container, add them to it, and then send the grapes. Pour them with wine and gin, squeeze fresh juice from half a lemon into the resulting mixture. Season it all with sugar and cinnamon to taste.

Before serving, sangria should be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. If desired, a few ice cubes can be "thrown" into a chilled drink.

4) "Prelude".

The cocktail recipe has several nuances of its own, however, nothing more romantic has yet been invented.

For 2 servings: 200 g cherry syrup, 150 g fresh cranberries, 3 tbsp. l. brandy, 1 tbsp. l. lime juice.

First of all, you need to squeeze the juice from fresh cranberries, if you have a special press, strain the drink, if you don’t have one, crush them with a special pusher and pass through a sieve, only after that the resulting mixture can be filtered through cheesecloth.

We take a mixing glass, add syrup, lime juice, strong alcohol (in this case it is cognac) and cherry syrup to it. Shake thoroughly until completely mixed. Strain the already prepared cocktail into glasses, add ice if desired. Decorate and serve.

5) Alcoholic cocktail "Ladies".

Ingredients: 50 g of whiskey, 10-15 drops of Angostura, 5 drops of Anisette and Pernod liqueur, one piece of pineapple to decorate the glass.

All of the above is placed in a glass of a mixer with ice, shake well, decant into a glass. We decorate it and serve a home-made women's cocktail to a charming guest.

6) Lime "Margarita" with strawberries.

Ingredients: 175 g fresh strawberries, 50 g sugar, 3 tbsp. l. lime juice, Cointreau and tequila, ice to taste.

Take a small saucepan, mix with 3 tbsp. l. water, all available sugar, put on the stove. Stirring occasionally, bring the sweet water to a boil, then remove and cool it. In the meantime, chop the strawberries with a blender, then wipe it through a sieve. We put the strawberry puree in a pre-prepared jug, in addition to it, lime juice, tequila, Cointreau liqueur and sweet syrup. We fill the glasses with ice, strain the resulting mixture into them and serve to the guests at the table.

7) Orange chocolate martini.

For two servings: 100 g martini (any other dry vermouth can be used if desired), a little vodka 50 g, 2 oranges, 2 tsp each. powdered sugar and cocoa powder, optional 8 ice cubes.

Rinse the oranges thoroughly under running water, then cut them into 2 parts, and squeeze the juice. We take a shaker and add freshly squeezed juice of two oranges, martini vodka and ice to it. It is necessary to sift a little cocoa and powdered sugar through a strainer, we send it after the listed liquids. Shake the resulting mixture for at least fifteen seconds, strain into glasses, decorate with orange slices and serve.

8) Wine with orange cream.

Ingredients: 140 g of powdered sugar, 100 g of sweet white wine and orange juice, 4 egg yolks, orange zest.

Beat the egg yolks with powdered sugar, put the resulting mass in a saucepan, and add the wine with orange juice. The mixture must be boiled, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, after which the cream should be frothy and thick. If it boils, it means that it is already completely ready.

Pour the cream into glasses, decorate with orange zest and serve dessert to the table.

Ingredients: 200 g each of cocoa powder and milk, 50 g of chocolate liqueur, 1.5 tbsp. l. sugar, 1 chicken egg, grated nutmeg quite a bit on the tip of a knife.

Sugar and egg must be ground until they are completely dissolved, then add cocoa powder, mix them together. Pour the milk into a fireproof container and bring to a boil, then in a narrow stream, stirring, add it to the sugar-egg mixture. Let her cool down.

In the meantime, beat the cocoa with a whisk, and at the same time add the nutmeg, chocolate liqueur and the cooled mixture to it.

Now it's the turn of the glass. First, you need to fill it up to half with crushed ice, and fill the other half with the prepared cocktail.

10) "Snow Maiden".

We take a glass for sparkling wines, put 2-3 ice cubes in it and fill it up to half with Sprite, then carefully pour 25 g of dry red wine over the ice to make the next layer.

Girls drink cocktails because cocktails are beautiful, there is almost no alcohol in them, and they are served in elegant glasses that do not look like nightmarish beer mugs. We chose 8 of the most fashionable and most spring cocktails and learned from an expert how to determine the character of a girl by a cocktail.

French Kiss Honey Cosmo Emporio Champagne

2 Honey Cosmo
(honey, rum, tea, nutmeg, cinnamon, orange, lemon, apple),290 r.

A hot and fragrant cocktail from a fashionable bar to the March slush is especially indicated for girls who wrap themselves in a scarf from head to toe all winter and still catch a cold. While Honey Cosmo has nothing to do with the Cosmopolitan, the Sex and the City girlfriends' favorite cocktail, it is just as much the perfect drink for a bachelorette party. A ridiculous dose of alcohol, skillfully disguised with tea and ennobled with fruit, will not hurt to discuss pressing problems, brag about a new boyfriend or, at worst, an awesome blouse.

3. Emporio Champagne
(Galliano, prosecco, grappa, lemon juice, lemon jam) 450 rub.

A cocktail for sophisticated fashionistas who go to shows and shopping in Milan and wear now what everyone will be wearing in six months. The famous bartender took the once trendy Cosmopolitan cocktail, replaced the cranberry flavor with lemon and vodka with grappa, added Italian sparkling and a stylish lemon twist knot - and got a mix ahead of fashion.

Having played enough in the spring with catchy colors and exotic combinations, in the fall we all want the same minimalism - both light and intellectual.

4. Ruby
(pomegranate berries, champagne, grenadine, ice),220 r.

The pomegranate looks unobtrusive, but inside it hides surprises and treasures - just like the connoisseurs of the Ruby cocktail. Speaking of such pseudo-shy people, they usually remember the “quiet pool”. "Ruby", made from fresh pomegranate berries and champagne, may also seem modest and restrained, but in fact it turns out to be exquisite and dizzying. This cocktail is also suitable for girls who are on a diet: there are few calories in pomegranate berries, but there is more than enough energy. A charge of vivacity will come in handy on the dance floor - and the next day it will be possible to oversleep a workout in a fitness club with a clear conscience.

5. Sweet Poison
(gin, vodka, tequila, triple sec, Malibu coconut rum, champagne, cherry syrup),350 r.

This explosive mixture can lead to overly playful and uninhibited behavior. A heavy dose of alcohol is flavored with cherry syrup and served with plenty of ice - to at least somewhat cool the ardor of the adventurer. Compared to most "lady's" drinks, "Sweet Poison" is unusually strong, therefore it is recommended for girls who are emotional and not afraid of change. According to the observations of the bartenders of the Papa’s club, after a couple of servings, the visitors actively take part in the Wet T-shirt contest. Such competitions are not uncommon here.

6. Golden Cuba
(pineapple, orange and lemon juices, liqueurCointreau, white rumBacardiSuperior, passion fruit syrup),400 r.

Sipping this soft tropical cocktail, you imagine yourself in a sun lounger on the ocean. A mix of freshly squeezed juices, orange liqueur and rum with creamy notes from nowhere, like melting ice cream, gives a sweet feeling of freedom. We tried it once - and consider that you are in slavery to this memorable scale. After the second portion, I want to dance samba with a sultry Latino, after the third - wave
to the airport and buy a one-way ticket to Cuba.

7. Sweetie
(peach, banana, strawberry liqueur, Veda vodka, whipped cream, chocolate chips),299 r.

It is with this cocktail that a girlfriend should be brought to life after the next man of her dreams turned out to be another “March cat”. The bartenders at 1171 know their stuff. When vodka is mixed with liquors, the sweeter, heavier liquors sink to the bottom, while the vodka ends up on top. As a decoration - a hefty portion of whipped cream with chocolate chips. If the situation requires drastic measures, you can force your friend to drink a cocktail in layers: drink vodka with liqueurs and have a snack with cream. An option for a long soul-saving conversation in the genre of “all men are bastards”: stir before drinking so that the vodka is distributed evenly throughout the cocktail. A contrasting mixture of strong alcohol and cream, plus a horse dose of sweets, can overcome any blues. As for calories... There are more important problems than diets!

8. Lychee Royal
(champagne, lychee berries, lychee puree and liqueur),450 r.

Lychees are called both “Chinese cherries” and “paradise grapes”, although this overseas fruit has nothing in common with either. Lychee cocktails are loved by young progressive ladies who are greedy for the exotic and trying to grab all the fashion trends on the fly. And the soft twilight of Vision literally provokes experiments with new tastes. In "Lychee Royal" one feels some painfully familiar and unbearably pleasant notes. Trying to understand what exactly this taste is like, you resolutely ask to repeat - again and again. And suddenly, when it already seems that the experiment is on the verge of failure, an insight comes: maybe on canned apples from compote?

EXPERT OPINION
Alexander Kan, the guru of Moscow mixology, who has compiled bar charts for many current Moscow establishments, spoke about the fashion for cocktails in the minimalist style.

What is the difference between "women's" cocktails and "men's" cocktails?
"Women's" cocktails are soft, but insidious. They need to learn to drink correctly so that there are no disastrous results and poor health. And it's not as easy as it seems.

What cocktails do girls in Moscow most often drink?
Oddly enough, in Moscow, the favorite female drink is Long Island Ice Tea. Representatives of the beautiful half of humanity often explain it this way: "This is the favorite cocktail of the men who treat us to it." Jokes aside, but, despite fashion trends, it is this drink that ladies order in bars most often. It's a pity. Long Island has only one advantage - it cuts fast. Unfortunately, mojitos, mixes like whiskey-cola and alcohol mixed with energy drinks are still in high demand. The point, probably, is that people can only go to certain places for the taste of a cocktail - where they do it really professionally.

What is really trendy right now? What do you recommend drinking this season?
Like the fashion for perfumes, the fashion in the world of mixed drinks is constantly changing, although the basis of all alcoholic cocktails without exception is no more than 70 compositions. As for the fashion for women's mixes, minimalism begins to prevail in it: from fancy combinations, we return to drinks that are “clean” from excessive impurities. In my cocktails, I try to use no more than three or four components. Another fashion trend in bar art that comes to us from London is getting a familiar fruity taste in a cocktail without using this particular fruit. For example, I can create a peach flavor by mixing cream, lemon juice, strawberries and passion fruit syrup. Or collect the taste of watermelon from strawberries and cucumbers.

Is it possible to draw any conclusions about a girl by her cocktail preferences?
If a girl prefers cocktails in martini-glass or in a champagne flute, then she has a taste. In addition, the stylish girl does not rush to bright-looking, but primitive and banal cocktails from the Sex On The Beach series.

A cocktail party is an event that takes place in a free form of communication. As a rule, it is arranged according to the "buffet" principle. It can be a reception, a buffet table or on the occasion of a bargain. Such events are less formal than, say, business dinners and not as solemn as evening receptions. But even for such events, a dress code is provided, which has received the definition of "cocktail". A fashionista who seeks to be known as a model of style at a party follows him unquestioningly. So, let's see what the cocktail dress code for women means.

Dress code cocktail: basic dress requirements

The best outfit for such an event, of course, will be a dress. What should it be? First of all, elegant! In addition, there are a number of strict compliance requirements for the dress.

It is very important to choose the right length and style of the outfit. A knee-length dress, just above or below it, is the perfect solution for a classically conservative cocktail dress code. However, do not forget about age. For example, slender young ladies under 25 are allowed to wear dresses, the hemline of which is 10-15 cm above the knee. If you are smaller, you will look more elegant in a knee-length dress. Pay attention to tight dresses with. And older fashionistas should give preference to midi-length sheath dresses.

In the dress code, the traditional black color is popular. But you shouldn't give up other options either. For example, dark green, blue, sky blue, cherry, beige, gold, silver and even white dress will be very appropriate at a cocktail event. The outfit should look luxurious, stylish and moderately strict, so it is better to abandon frivolous shades, such as: lemon, pink, light green. would look more appropriate in evening fashion.

It is worth mentioning the decor. can be decorated with lace, appliqués, embroidery. Not too catchy prints on fabrics and sequins are allowed. The main thing is that they look appropriate and do not act as a central element of the image.

Dress code cocktail: shoes and accessories

If the style of the dress allows, then you can safely complement it with a miniature or decorate your hair with a flower, a hairpin with feathers. Such decisions are quite acceptable, but the business spirit of a cocktail dress code does not always allow resorting to these excesses.

The arms should generally remain bare. However, if the event is solemn, you can wear white or strictly matching the dress with long gloves. The clutch is the perfect accessory for your cocktail dress code. If you want to be more original than others, you can also choose a miniature theatrical bag decorated with beads, sequins or embroidery.

In shoes, preference should be given to closed shoes with thin high heels of at least 7 cm. These can be classic flesh-colored pumps or an option to match the dress.

Ladies prefer cocktails, as they are certainly beautiful, and alcohol is practically not felt in them. And what is it worth serving mixed drinks in elegant glasses, which are so far from nightmarish beer mugs!

The main difference between women's cocktails and men's is, of course, that the former are much softer. However, at the same time, they are insidious. It is necessary to be able to use them correctly in order to avoid the deplorable consequences and disgusting well-being after drinking.

Cocktail fashion can be compared to perfume fashion. It is fleeting and fickle, often changing, despite the fact that the basis of absolutely all cocktails with alcohol is only 70 compositions. But if we talk about the fashion for cocktails for girls, it should be noted that minimalism has prevailed in it lately. That is, from complex mixes, girls tend to return to drinks “clean” from unnecessary combinations. The next stylish bar art trend that came out of London is to get the famous fruit flavor in a cocktail without the use of a specific fruit. Surprisingly, this way, for example, you can create the taste of watermelon by mixing strawberries and cucumbers.

Among other things, you can draw conclusions about the young lady judging by her preferences in cocktails. If she chooses cocktails in a martin or flute glass, then the girl has a taste and a sense of style. Also, refined natures will not rush into primitive and essentially banal, albeit extremely bright outwardly cocktails for women like “Sex On The Beach”.

What to hide, every girl sometimes wants to have carefree fun and taste something tasty and sweet. The easiest way to fulfill these desires is in a bar. Often, women prefer cocktails that are not heavy, but beautiful and fragrant, without much alcohol content, but with the obligatory content of juices or syrups.

In addition to cocktails prepared in bars, there are also store-bought canned products, however, despite the fact that they usually underestimate the so-called damaging effect, it is possible that they do not contain real natural ingredients (syrup, berries, various juices and extracts). ). On the other hand, the quality of a cocktail also depends on the level of the institution where it is prepared. To be sure about the properties of the drink, it is preferable that not only the bar, but also the bartender inspire confidence and confidence, and even better, be familiar to the visitor.

According to statistics obtained as a result of a survey of bartenders of various fashionable establishments in the capital on the subject of female addictions, the rating of the most delicious cocktails for girls was as follows. One of the most popular was the famous Pina Colada cocktail. The second most important is such a cocktail for women as " Tequila Sunrise"- the union of tequila and orange juice. The favorite drink of cheerful girlfriends from the acclaimed series "Sex and the City" is not inferior to them - the Cosmopolitan cocktail: a bizarre combination of vodka with orange liqueur, flavored with cranberry and lemon juice. The popular Mojito does not lose momentum either.

Thus, a constant hit in the cocktail menu of any reputable establishment is a tropical rum-based cocktail. It should be noted that some ladies will not refuse a whiskey-based cocktail. And besides this, most girls prefer to order long drinks, that is, “long” cocktails, which are distinguished by their lightness and are prepared with champagne or vermouth. But the general trend is this - you can’t forbid drinking beautifully!
