It's not just Martinis and Manhattans that have come back in
style - today's drinks of choice are twists on the classics. When and where the drinks were invented and what inspired their origination. The authentic recipes allow you to recreate the exact drinks that are being concocted behind the bars at famous restaurants and cocktail lounges across the country. |

Mojito
A very popular summer drink. Add a few mint leaves and either some sugar syrup or a couple of sugar cubes to an old fashioned glass. Muddle these together, then add a large (50ml) shot of golden rum, and stir. Top up with crushed ice, and add a little soda water to taste.

Mint Julep
The Mint Julep has always been a symbol of Kentucky's rich heritage and hospitality. Possibly the best-known bourbon cocktail? Into a shaker add a few mint leaves and 3 small (25ml) shots of bourbon. Gently muddle, and then add a teaspoon of caster sugar, and 3 dashes of Angostura. Fill the shaker 2/3 with ice, and strain into a glass ½ filled with crushed ice. Stir, and top up with more crushed ice. Serve with a straw.

Planter Punch
Another delicious summer choice. This drink perfectly illustrates the importance of remembering ratios when mixing cocktails. The ratio for this punch goes as follows - 1 sour, 2 sweet, 3 strong, 4 weak. Use limejuice for the sour, sugar syrup for the sweet, dark rum for the strong, and fruit juice and ice for the weak. Juices should always be fresh for a drink of this sort. Serve long.

Margarita
One of the finest cocktails in the world and devilishly simple to mix. Salt the
rim of the glass by pouring some fine salt into a dish, wiping a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, and then dipping it into the salt. Fill a shaker 2/3 full with ice, and add a large (50ml) shot of tequila, a small (25 ml) shot of Cointreau and a small shot of fresh limejuice. Shake and strain into the glass.
