Of late I find myself watching nothing but two channels on TV. Everyone can guess the first one: Star World. Thats where I watch stuff like Seinfeld, Friends, My wife and Kids etc...
The second channel is apna Vijay Mallya's lifestyle channel NDTV Good Times. This is a joint venture between the Kingfisher and NDTV. So the most advertised product on this channel is Kingfisher Club Soda. Ha Ha Ha!!! There are lots of interesting programs on relationships, fitness, drinking, eating, love challenge, entertainment etc. So I watched this program on mixing drinks. And man! I was inspired like anything.
So Saturday evening, I mixed up some stuff and rustled up some really yummy and great looking cocktails. Now these were originals. So I obviously christened them myself. Here's the one we liked best....
6 A.M.
I called it 6 AM coz it looked just like the sunrise when viewed from a horizon.
Since I'm doing all my own stuff here, there are no rules as to what glasses should be used. Preferably use a long glass for this one.
Ingredients:
Ice (1/6)
Sparkling Water (1/6)
Lemon Juice (a few drops)
Onjus Mixed Fruit Juice (1/2)
Scotch (1/6)
Mint Leaves (a few leaves)
Mixing The Drink:
Actually it's more layering than mixing in this case. Its rather simple. I have given the part measurements of each component and you can calculate the actual measurement depending on the size of your glass.
Start by laying down a layer of crushed ice in your glass.
Pour in half the juice you have.
Now pour in your sparkling water.
Add the lemon juice.
Scotch goes in now.
Top it all up with the rest of your juice.
Garnish with the mint leaves.
For more nautanki, get some stuff like olives on toothpicks, umbrellas, decorative straws etc.
You can of course alter the measurements of various ingredients to suit your taste. I and Di have never really liked or enjoyed alcohol and obviously we are not really into drinking. But I must admit that we really enjoyed the ccktail. It masked the disgusting taste if whiskey and also looked gorgeous. We call it "The Good Life". But we are still essentially a couple who do not drink regularly. so I guess the recipes for cocktails won't be coming that regularly. Maybe one in a month or two....
