15 ml Sloe gin
Dash lemon juice
Alexander Cocktail
35 ml gin
35 ml crème de cocoa
35 ml sweet cream
B52
25 ml Baileys Irish Cream
15 ml Kahlua
Dash Grand Marnier
Any special preparation needed?
For this cocktail recipe the Kahlua will have to poured into the glass first. When it’s time to put the Baileys into the glass you’ll need to use the back of a spoon. Slowly pour the Irish cream against the back of the spoon this will stop it from mixing with the Kahlua. Finally, drizzle the Grand Marnier over the baileys.
Bacardi cocktail
50 ml Bacardi Rum
50 ml Grenadine
50ml lime juice
Black Russian
30 ml vodka
30 ml Tia Maria
100 ml cola
Black velvet
½ Champagne flute of stout (usually Guinness)
½ Champagne flute of champagne (cider or perry can be used as alternatives)
Any special preparation needed?
For the preparation of this cocktail recipe you’ll need to pour the stout in first and the champagne second. This will ensure the Champagne will sit nicely on top.
If you choose to make “the poor man’s” black velvet and swap the champagne for perry or cider then traditionally you’ll pour this in first.
One final thing to note; the best results are achieved when the top layer is poured over the back of a spoon, this will stop the top layer from splashing into the bottom layer, therefore mixing the two together.
