Lockdown Cocktails - what are you making?

[Hadjab]

I’m obsessed with rhubarb daiquiris right now

What are you making/drinking?

Yum yum. Just g&t here tonight

Processco and Lilac cordial

Mojitos, I’ve got TONNES of mint growing in the garden and it seemed a shame to waste it...

Corpse Reviver.
Gin, cointreau, vermouth, lemon juice and absinthe. 😀

Plum daiquiris, whiskey sours, martinis, old fashioneds, tequila sunrises, blueberry Bellinis - all sorts! DH has got very into cocktail hour! We’re spending a fortune on different booze though!

Classic champagne cocktail - but Cava and half spoon of sugar rather than sugar lump -
Cava sugar angostura bitters brandy - very potent on an empty stomach!!

Dark & Stormies are a proper cocktail! Kraken rum, angostura bitters, ginger beer and fresh lime.

I want all of these immediately. All of them. (Apart from Negroni - tried it once and I’m not grown up enough yet!)

Gin, angostura bitters very liberally shaken in, chunks of orange, fever tree light.

At the end, chew the orange and feel that alcohol sink into your gums.

Lageritas! Two parts tequila, one part Cointreau, one part lime juice, top up with lager in a tall glass. Surprisingly delicious :)

Buying negroni ingredients on the next shop.

Love bitter drinks.

Not strictly a cocktail, but I made a batch of rhubarb gin this week and am loving it with ginger ale. I must try a rhubarb daiquiri though

Made strawberry daqiris with some frozen strawberries that had been lurking in the freezer. Also made a fabulously refreshing gin and tonic with fresh mint and lime. Made Cosmopolitans and French Martinis too. Been having a very decadent lockdown!

On account of the lack of tonic I invented the (Gin+ Cola = ) Ginola TM. It’s rather amazing and much tastier than a G&T

@CatBatCat lilac cordial? Interesting!

@MaryLennoxsScowl do you have a recipe for the plum daiquiris?

Aperol Spritz here, to make up for our cancelled Italian honeymoon.

In BIG glasses.

Negronis here too

I’ve been adding soda water though to lessen the potency (seeing as I start so early nowadays ahem)

Bookmarking for after baby is out!

Pina colada!!

I sip it in the sun and pretend I am on hols.
Then upstairs for gaviscon because it repeats on me.
Does anyone follow Ultimate Girl Gang on Insta? She had one cocktail a day at lunch time and it’s inspired me! It’s much nicer to get through the afternoon with a cocktail.....

Fresh strawberries
Strawberry and lime gin
Ice
Lemonade

Crush in blender - it's so good. No idea what it's called

I make Cosmopolitans every weekend.
DD made great Pina Coladas last weekend. She also invented something we call Liltibu - Lilt and Malibu, very nice

I invented a Summer Fizz.

I squish up some raspberries, mint leaves and a spoonful of sugar, add white rum and a splash of chambord then top up with cava or prosecco.

Serve over ice, yummy. Or during the day for a more refreshing longer drink I add sugar-free sprite too.

I lived on these on our pre lockdown holiday on the gold coast qld
I got home stocked up on ingredients and then the world imploded

Locktails- aka anything I can get my hands on.

Can someone please enlighten me.. What could a white cocktail with crushed ice be? Looks like milk, i think maybe rum or Malibu? I remember seeing one somewhere but can't for the life of me remember what it was
