Shaken not Stirred

Happy New Year!!! I hope 2013 brings you much joy, success and above all happiness. I’m sure many of you are nursing sore heads today, fingers crossed you weren’t one of the unlucky ones who had to get up and go to work today, I felt very sorry for the check out chicks at the supermarket this morning. However you celebrated I hope you had and enjoyable one.

 I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the New Year than with a couple of liquid deserts. So I bring you a Pina colada (it just screams holidays) and a raspberry and lime delight (well the Italians do say red is a lucky colour to wear I’m hoping its lucky to drink) They’re both two pretty easy and straight forward Cocktails.

Pina Colada

1 part Bacardi

1 Part Malibu

3Parts pineapple juice

1 part cream

a handful of ice

Place all ingredients into a cocktail shacker and shake. Pour into a glass and serve.

 

Raspberry and Lime delight

1 cup of frozen raspberries

1 cup bacardi

1 cup raspberry vodka

1 cup pineapple juice

¼ sugar syrup

1 small lime

Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until combined, pour into a glass and serve. 

NOTE:If you want to be a little bit swish rub the lime around the top of the glass and dip into some white sugar before you pour the cocktail in.
