With Dry January a distant (and bad!) memory, it’s time to celebrate the return to boozy dinners and cocktail nights in February.
Michal Golecki, Head Mixologist at Studio Bar at K West Hotel & Spa advises on his top four cocktails that look impressive but are quick and easy to shake up with ingredients you already have in your fridge at home.
Vodka: Raspberry Caipiroska:
Michal says: “The Caipiroska cocktail is a Russian twist on the well-known Brazilian cocktail caipirinha”.
Ingredients: 50ml Vodka; 4 lime wedges; 2 tablespoon Sugar; crushed ice, 3 raspberries
Method: Muddle all of the ingredients together, and pour over ice into a rock glass or tumbler. Garnish with a couple of raspberries. If you like your cocktails on the sweeter side, you can always top up with lemonade.
Gin: Elderflower G&T:
Michal says: “This delicately coloured, refreshing take on the classic gin and tonic makes this the perfect beverage for spring”.
Ingredients: 50ml Gin; 25ml Elderflower cordial, 15ml fresh-squeezed Lime juice, tonic.

Rum: The Cuba Libre a Casa:

Ingredients: 50ml Dark Rum; Coca-Cola; 1 Lime
Method: Squeeze the lime into a highball glass over ice. Add the double shot of rum and then fill the glass with Coca-Cola. Stir and add a quarter of the lime.
Tequila: Tequilita Sunrise:

Thanks for sharing this amazing post –
It's been a while since I tried cocktails. Vodka is my poison so I think I would really like the 'Raspberry Caipiroska' :)Thanks so much for sharing with #MMBC. Have a lovely weekend x

Thanks Jayne 🙂
I like vodka and love raspberries so would definitely enjoy the raspberry Caipiroska. Mind you I would probably be under the table after one!
Mm, that G&T sounds amazing. Even the picture just looks refreshing. 🙂
This is a great post! I've been all about the Cuba Libres recently!
I'll take one Tequilita Sunrise please. heheheAll of these cocktails sound so good x #MMBC
I'd try the Tequilita Sunrise – not keen on tonic so that put me off the G&T! 😉
I lie the idea of these cocktails as you have a limited amount of ingredients , which means easy to get and not too expensive.
