Looking for a good drink recipe?
I am having a stag and doe..i dont like beer or wine.i enjoy martinis but i dont want to end up hammered is there a light alcohol martini drink?
Answers:
I'm afraid not- most martinis if not all of them have two shots of alcohol. I have a great recipe for a key lime martini (from a well known restaurant in the US) and it is a bit different. You will need:
1 1/2 oz. spiced rum
1 1/2 oz. margarita mix
2 oz. of half & half
1 packet of sweetener or 2 packets of sugar
ice
martini shaker
combine all the ingredients and shake really well, strain into the martini glass and garnish with slice of lime. Yum!
This Cosmopolitan Cocktail recipe has more than just booze in it, however I think it is more geared to the ladies ...
Scale ingredients to servings
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz triple sec
1/2 oz Rose's? lime juice
1/2 oz cranberry juice
Shake vodka, triple sec, lime and cranberry juice vigorously in a shaker with ice. Strain into a martini glass, garnish with a lime wedge on the rim, and serve.
You could make a martini which is mixed with fruit juices. Usually Flirtini drinks are something like vodka and pineapple juice mixed together so they aren't as strong. Martinis are always fun because you can add cute things, like sliced oranges, or cherries or something as garnish, and colored sugar on the glass rim. So it makes them pretty and festive. . .You could also make blended drinks like Pina Coladas. If you use a mix they aren't too strong, but are also really tasty. Keep in mind though, you might want to supply some beer and wine with these other drinks for people who only enjoy one of those types, as a good host to provide for all guests. An assortment is always very pleasing!
you are probably lookin for "skip and go naked" it consists of 1/4 of a pint good vodka, 1/4 pint of good gin, 6 pack mgd (DO NOT USE ANY OTHER BEER OR MILLER PRODUCT) and one can frozen pink lemonade........tastes just like sweet lemonade the trick is in the beer ...... combine all in a kool aid like container stir and enjoy........ warning----give this to a female and you'll see where the name came from
I stummbled across this site awhile back and use it often.

Just use less alcohol in the Martini
