Classic Champagne Cocktail
On a hot summer day, the refreshing sensation of reaching for a bottle of champagne straight from the fridge is one of the most wonderful things about champagne. This is a fine wine that has undergone a second fermentation with the addition of sugar and yeast. This second fermentation also changes the flavor of the wine, making it more sour, fruitier, or yeastier. If it is a vintage champagne from a successful harvest, the flavor is even more wonderful. Not only is it a fine “ready” wine, Champagne is also an ideal ingredient for cocktails.
Ingredient
1 sugar cube
3 drops Angostura bitters
25ml Cognac
100 ml chilled Champagne
Making
Add sugar cube and 3 drops of bitters to the champagne glass.
Pour in the Cognac. Finally, gently pour in the chilled champagne.
Shake the glass gently before drinking.
Strawberry Mojito and Classic Mojito
This is a wonderful drink, a farewell to spring to welcome the upcoming summer. Originating from Cuba, this refreshing drink with juicy strawberries will make you feel fresher and lighter in the summer sun, when relaxing with friends and relatives.

Ingredient
6 mint leaves (or basil leaves)
1 tablespoon mojiho syrup
Juice of 1/2 small lemon
1 tablespoon pureed fresh strawberries
Ice cubes
30 ml rum
Soda/ or champagne
Fresh strawberries for decoration
Making
Add mint leaves and mojito syrup. Stir together until mint is crushed and fragrant.
Pour in lime juice and ice. For strawberry mojito, add fresh strawberry puree.
Add rum and top with club soda. If you want to increase the alcohol content, add 15-30ml of rum per glass, depending on your preference. Mojitos can also be made more classy by replacing the soda with champagne.
Stir well, garnish with whole strawberries and serve immediately.
A cool classic mojito is the perfect combination of the sourness of fresh lime, the sweetness of sugar, the pungent aroma of mint leaves and the intensity of rum and the indispensable coolness of small ice cubes. Nowadays, there are many variations of Mojito. Many places can use vodka mixed with light fruit flavors such as mango, strawberry, lychee, apple, raspberry or tamarind.
Cosmopolitan and Tequila Sunrise
If Cosmopolitan is the perfect choice for urban ladies, Tequila Sunrise is an interesting drink for gentlemen on dates, on the resort grounds, enjoying the salty sea breeze. Cosmopolition appeared in 1979, a perfect combination of fresh lemon, vodka, blueberry juice and a bit of tangerine peel for a natural scent. Meanwhile, Tequila Sunrise attracts with the wild flavor of tequila, and the interesting color transition between red and orange that looks like an afternoon sun.
Ingredients (Cosmopolitan)
40 ml Citron Vodka
15 ml Cointreau
30 ml cranberry juice
15 ml lemon juice
Making
Shake everything in a shaker before pouring into a glass. Garnish with a lemon slice.
The key to making a perfect Cosmopolitan is having a chilled Martini glass. If your ingredients are already chilled, there is no need to shake for too long. A few drops of lemon juice can be substituted for the lime juice, but you have to be sure to get the right amount of acidity.
Ingredients (Tequila Sunrise)
45 ml Tequila
15 ml Grenadine
90 ml orange juice
Making
Pour tequila and orange juice into glass.
Pour in the Grenadine. The Grenadine will sink to the bottom of the pan.
Garnish with a cherry and an orange slice.
Like the Cosmopolitan, this cocktail should be chilled before making. The wild flavor of the Mexican Agave in the tequila blends with the tropical freshness of the orange for a delightful taste experience.
