Raspberry Orange Sparkler Cocktail

This sparkling wine cocktail with raspberry, mint, and orange flavors looks charming, goes down easy, and is perfect for Sunday brunch, a bachelorette party, or any other special occasion. You can prepare the raspberry-mint puree for this drink in advance. Mix it in glasses with orange vodka and sparkling white wine, and garnish each cocktail with fresh raspberries.

Jasmine Tea Cocktail with Whiskey

Enjoy the combination of whiskey and jasmine in this refreshing cocktail. It's made with sweetened green tea and jasmine. Add Irish whiskey to taste and serve over plenty of ice with lemon wedges. Garnish with dried jasmine flowers, if desired.

Grapefruit Spritz

A sweet, sparkling grapefruit spritz will spoil any mom. Be sure to put one on Mom's breakfast-in-bed tray!

Gin and tonic with rose water

Two additional ingredients—rose water and fresh strawberries—will transform a classic gin and tonic into a new, special drink. You can also add freshly squeezed lime juice for a more familiar flavor. And for garnish, look for edible rose petals online.

Prosecco Lemon Sorbet Cocktail

This light, sparkling Prosecco cocktail with a refreshing citrus flavor looks elegant and is perfect for special occasions. Place a scoop of lemon sorbet in tall champagne flutes and top with a mixture of vodka and sparkling wine. An interesting alternative to traditional Champagne that your guests will appreciate. Garnish each glass with a lemon wedge and enjoy.

Rum and Hibiscus Cocktail

Hibiscus gives this cocktail its bright crimson color and a sweet-tart flavor, reminiscent of cranberry. Dried hibiscus flowers (karkade tea) can be found in tea shops or online. Brew them into a sweet tea with a little ginger, and when it cools, you'll have a delicious base for the cocktail.

Violet Fizz

This feminine cocktail captivates with its flavor and sophisticated appearance. Gin is shaken with lemon juice, egg white, simple syrup, red wine, and a few drops of violet liqueur, which imbues the drink with a subtle, sophisticated floral aroma and finish. The egg white adds sparkle and a light foam; use only pasteurized egg whites to avoid potential health problems. Serve in an elegant glass, garnished with an edible violet.

Rob Roy Elderberry Cocktail

The traditional Rob Roy cocktail is made with sweet vermouth. This lighter version replaces it with St. Germain elderflower liqueur, but retains the whiskey and adds a fresh sprig of rosemary for a spicy, herbal note. Serve garnished with rosemary.

Mimosa Sunrise with Raspberry

This luxurious drink combines two popular cocktails: the Tequila Sunrise and the Mimosa. Made without tequila, only with sparkling white wine, grenadine, orange juice, and raspberries, it takes on the charming sunrise-like appearance for which the Tequila Sunrise is so beloved. Mix the cocktail in a large pitcher for a crowd, and freeze some beautiful raspberry-flavored ice for it. A perfect treat for bachelorette parties, brunches, March 8th, or Mother's Day!

Orange Blossom Margarita

You'll love how the subtle aroma of orange blossom water, used to wet the rim of the glass, and the fragrant honey syrup blend with tequila and lime in this twist on the classic cocktail. For a unique garnish, choose a small, whole mandarin orange on a branch with a leaf attached and place it on the rim.

Acai and mint smash

The berry flavor of this Brazilian cachaça-based cocktail with acai juice and mint is wonderfully refreshing on a hot summer day. Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake until the shaker fogs up, strain, and enjoy.



We recommend

Tea flip

A flip cocktail is a delicious combination of alcohol, aromatics, and whipped egg white. This version is made with gin infused with Earl Grey tea, featuring distinctive notes of bergamot, lemon juice, and maraschino syrup. Instead of fresh egg white, use safe egg white powder. It produces the same pleasant foam without the health risks. You'll need a chilled cocktail glass. Pour the cocktail into the glass over a splash of maraschino syrup to prevent the layers from mixing. It looks elegant and tastes incredible.

Elderflower Old Fashioned Cocktail

The classic Old Fashioned cocktail, made with rye whiskey, takes on a vibrant new flavor with the addition of a splash of aromatic elderflower liqueur, such as St. Germain. Its sweet notes complement the spicy flavor of the whiskey and bitters. Garnish the drink with a traditional maraschino cherry and an orange slice.

Gin fizz with plum and basil

To make this sweet and aromatic drink, you'll need just a few ingredients. The secret to its incredible flavor? Homemade basil simple syrup. It's easy to make, but it takes about an hour to chill, so plan ahead.
