Prosecco Mojito Cocktail

Prosecco cocktails do not get any fresher than this contemporary take on the classic Mojito. You’ll need to prepare the mint syrup at least an hour before you plan to serve these.

230g white sugar

A generous handful of fresh mint

½ fresh lime, plus a wedge to garnish

• First, make a simple mint syrup: put the water into a pan and bring to the boil.
• Add sugar to the boiling water and stir until dissolved.
• Take the pan off the heat, and add about 20 mint leaves.
• Allow to steep for at least an hour before straining into a glass container. This can be kept in the fridge for up to two weeks.
• Now you’re ready to make Prosecco Mojitos – pour a couple of dessertspoons of the syrup into a tall glass, add 10 mint leaves and muddle together in the bottle of the glass.
• Add a generous amount of crushed ice, followed by the rum.
• Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and top with Prosecco.
• Stir with a spoon or cocktail stirrer, garnish with a lime wedge and serve.

A refreshing twist to the classic mojito for Prosecco lovers! Very easy to make!

Champagne Cocktails

Unless you're making a drink where the flavor of the Champagne really matters (like the Classic Champagne Cocktail), generally, inexpensive alternatives such as Cava, Sekt, Prosecco or California sparkling wine work well.

This one's a brunch classic. Increase the flavor by using a 1:5 ratio of freshly-squeezed orange juice to Champagne. Then add a splash of triple sec.

The fancy cousin to the made-with-white-wine Kir, the Kir Royale consists of a dash of creme de cassis (currant syrup), topped off with Champagne.

Invented at Harry's Bar in Venice, the Bellini is best when made with ripe peaches. If peaches aren't in season, try creme de peche (peach syrup). Use a 1:4 ratio of syrup to prosecco.

This is an easy and strangely delicious drink with a 4:1 ratio of Champagne to black Irish stout.

Traditionally made from absinthe, a spirit now illegal in the United States, in a 0.5:5 ratio to Champagne, you can probably substitute pastis or another anise-flavored liqueur.

For a holiday brunch, make Poinsettias: a 1:4 ratio of triple sec to Champagne, with a splash of cranberry juice added for color.

Named for the British Admiral George Nelson, this makes a great, if slightly morbid-sounding, party drink. The recipe calls for a 5:1 ratio of Champagne to tawny Port.

Soak a sugar cube in bitters, drop it into a flute, fill the flute with Champagne and garnish with a twist of lemon. This classic drink dates back to at least the mid-19th century.

There are a number of French 75 recipes floating around; the only thing people agree on is that it's a serious drink with serious ramifications. Here's the classic: a splash of simple syrup, a bigger splash of lemon juice, an even bigger splash (about an ounce) of gin, topped off with a glassful of Champagne.

Sekt cocktail

Around 90 percent of Sekt is made at least partially from imported wines from Italy, Spain and France. Sekt labeled as Deutscher Sekt is made exclusively from German grapes, and Sekt b.A. (bestimmter Anbaugebiete, in parallel to Qualitätswein b.A.) only from grapes from one of the 13 quality wine regions in Germany.

Some of the premium wines are often made using the Riesling, Pinot blanc, Pinot gris and Pinot noir grapes, with much of it drunk locally rather than exported. These Sekts are usual vintage dated with the village and vineyards that the grapes are from. Premium Sekt b.A. produced in smaller lots is often referred to as Winzersekt (winegrower’s Sekt), since it is typically produced by a producer which has vineyards of his own, rather than by the large Sekt-producing companies (Sektkellereien) which buy grapes or base wine on a large scale for their production. In Austria, the corresponding term is Hauersekt.

German production of sparkling wines dates back to 1826, when G. C. Kessler & Co. was founded in Esslingen am Neckar by Georg Christian Kessler (1787-1842), who had previously worked at the Champagne house Veuve Clicquot from 1807 to 1826. The names used by the German producers for their sparkling wines in the 19th century were “Mousseux”, “Sect” or “Champagne” (or Champagner), but the 1919 Treaty of Versailles forbade Germany the use of this name, long before European Union regulations prohibited its use outside the Champagne region. Sekt was initially an informal German name for sparkling wine, coined in Berlin 1825, but was in common use by the 1890s. Germany long attempted to have the name Sekt reserved for sparkling wine from countries with German as an official language, but these regulations were annulled by the European Court of Justice in 1975. Another legal decision in the 1970s abolished the large producers’ monopoly on Sekt production, allowing winemaking cooperatives and individual winegrowers to produce and sell their own sparkling wines. Together, these two decision produced the situation of the name Sekt being possible to apply to sparkling wines of varying quality level.

Not all sparkling (bubbling) wines are called Sekt, some are simply Perlwein. Sekt typically comes with elaborate enclosure (safety cage) to withstand its considerable CO2 pressure. It also comes with a Schaumwein tax, which since 2005 has been 136 euro per hectoliter, corresponding to 1.02 euro per 0.75 liter bottle.[22] This tax was famously introduced by Emperor Wilhelm II in 1902 to fund the expansion of the Imperial Navy.

Germans also call some similar foreign wines Sekt, like Krimsekt (often red) from Crimea.

In Austria, Sekt is often made in the méthode champenoise with the Welschriesling and Grüner Veltliner grapes giving the wine a golden hue color. Sparkling rosé are made from the Blaufränkisch grape.

Austria’s history of producing sparkling wine dates back to the Austro-Hungarian empire. Most Austrian Sekt producers are based in Vienna and source their grapes from the Weinviertel region in Lower Austria. Like its German counterpart, Austrian Sekt can be made trocken (dry) or halbtrocken (medium dry).

The first Austrian producer of sparkling wine was Robert Alwin Schlumberger, who presented his first sparkling wine in 1846 under the name Vöslauer weißer Schaumwein (White sparkling wine of Vöslau). It was produced from Blauer Portugieser grapes growing in vineyards in Bad Vöslau which Schlumberger bought in 1843, and the sparkling wine was an immediate success. Stuttgart-born Schlumberger had worked in the Champagne house Ruinart before he moved to Vienna in 1842

10 Impressive Before Dinner Cocktails

Invite These Drinks to Your Dinner Party

Serving a cocktail before dinner is both a courtesy to guests and serves a purpose. Known as an aperitif, the before dinner drink prepares the stomach for food and the palate for the delicious tastes it is about to enjoy. They can be served to guests at an elegant dinner party or enjoyed any night of the week at home.

Aperitifs come in many flavors and can complement a variety of meals. Many of the best aperitifs include gin, vermouth or another dry style of wine. There are also distilled spirits . MORE like Campari and Aperol that have long been used as appetite stimulants on their own. It's only natural that the cocktails these are mixed into be classified as aperitifs as well.

I have selected just ten recipes to feature from the many possibilities. Included are a few favorites that have long been enjoyed with a meal. I have also tossed in a few obscure and fascinating cocktails that can challenge and enlighten your taste buds.

This list is a great place to begin as you discover how food and mixed drinks can play off each other and learn that contrast can complement just as well as a perfect flavor match. Have fun with your dinner drinks and experiment for yourself.

The Negroni is the ideal aperitif and it is the first cocktail that comes to mind when we discuss this class of drinks. Campari itself is designed to be an aperitif and in this recipe, it is paired with gin and sweet vermouth to create the ultimate before dinner drink.

This drink can prep your palate for any meal. I've enjoyed it most when a Cornish Game Hen was the star of the table.

You will also find that the gin and vermouth add a mellow aspect to Campari's bitterness and that helps . MORE make the drink a bit more approachable for palates that are new to the flavor.

Another iconic aperitif is the Aperol Spritz. It is a simple drink that once again features a bitter liquor designed specifically for this purpose. Aperol's bitter orange is definitely more approachable than Campari and that makes it a good, gentle introduction to a genuine aperitif.

The Aperol Spritz is perfect with any meal and you'll love to serve it alongside flavorful dishes like this Harissa Roasted Leg of Lamb. The simplicity of the sparkling orange drink accents all of those herbs . MORE and spices without interfering with the dish.

This Fabiola is an interesting cocktail. It's a refreshing take on the brandy-based Metropolitan, only in this case we use dry vermouth and add Grand Marnier. The orange is a fascinating contrast to the dryness of the fortified wine and sweet strength of a decent brandy.

It is a fabulous companion to any meal. Your guests will enjoy the play of citrus between the Fabiola and recipes like this Lemon Chicken With Mushrooms. Both recipes are simple and quick to fix up, making this is a great . MORE combination for those last minute dinner parties.

We will continue with the simple aperitifs that go along with almost any meal. The popular Gimlet is up and this two-ingredient drink is the easiest on the list. All you need is your favorite bottle of gin and a lime cordial and an appetizing drink is born.

The Gimlet is perfect for summer dinner parties as it is a very light, refreshing cocktail. Serve a round of Gimlets to your guests as they sit on the patio and you finish up the spareribs on the barbecue.

There are Campari cocktails and then there is the Campari Cocktail. This is the most Campari-forward drink you can mix because the only back up the bitter has is vodka and a dash of Angostura.

Campari's bitterness displayed with such boldness means that this cocktail is not for everyone. Once you do train your palate to love Campari, you will agree that few drinks can kick off a meal in style like the Campari Cocktail.

A pairing that is a personal favorite is the Campari Cocktail with a . MORE classic Eggplant Parmesan .

The Autumn Leaves recipe has a compound of interesting flavors that begins with pisco and Drambuie and brings in a hint of Campari and lime. It's fascinating on its own and even better as a prelude to complex dishes like this Genoa-Style Stuffed Pork Loin.

If your guests don't see you mix up this cocktail, they'll be wondering what you put into it because it is so unique. It is certainly an adventure in flavor and a fun one at that!

Tarragon makes an appearance in this modern cocktail that could be thought of as an enhanced Manhattan. The Bourbon and Blood features the smooth taste of Woodford Reserve with sweet vermouth and brings in that bitter orange of Aperol.

This cocktail has a darker profile and it is great to pair with a lighter pasta dish like this Butternut Squash and Pear Ravioli. The contrast between the drink and the food is intriguing and sure to be the talk of your dinner party circuit.

If you're in the mood to get really fancy and have a truly unique taste experience, give Rimbaud's Left Hand a try. It is the most complex drink on this list, mixing absinthe, Benedictine, Aperol, lemon and pineapple in equal parts with a little egg white thrown in for texture. It's an aperitif that is memorable, to say the least.

Want to get really wild? Serve it alongside this Pineapple Chicken with Coconut Rice Wrapped in Banana Leaves. I don't typically recommend pairing . MORE pineapple with pineapple, but there is so much going on in both courses that it really doesn't matter!

Tequila can make a fine aperitif if it is mixed right and DeLeon Tequila's Salud Cocktail is a perfect example. The drink combines their silver tequila with a rare sherry, a bit of pineapple and a hint of passion fruit and absinthe.

That combination of bright fruits, dry wine and rich tequila accented ever so slightly with anise is a great primer for spicy meals. Give it a try with this easy Chicken Enchiladas Suiza recipe.

When no other cocktail seems absolutely perfect for your dinner table, you can always fall back on the classic Martini. It is a perfect complement to any meal but is particularly nice with lighter foods like this Tagliatelle with Baby Artichokes.

Not only is the Martini the epitome of an aperitif - gin and vermouth with a dry profile - it also makes a great choice because the recipe can easily be adapted to individual tastes. You can make every guest happy and it doesn't matter if they prefer . MORE their Martini dry, perfect or served as a Gibson.

German Cocktails Made With Beer and Wine

Have a German-Style Cocktail Hour With an Authentic Drink

Part of the fun of traveling is tasting the authentic food and drinks -- even if you're not a certified foodie. Whether you're in a casual place or are out for an upscale experience, having a German cocktail is part of the adventure.

If you're making a German meal of roast and potatoes at home, do it up right by starting off with a German mixed drink.

On this list you'll find the most common mixed drinks served in Germany.

Get familiar with them so when you are in a restaurant it will be easier to order -- although getting the pronunciation right is up to you.

These German-style mixed drinks cut down on alcohol content and still quench that thirst. Cocktails made with hard liquor were not popular until recently in Germany and follow the American style. So you can order a Manhattan, Cosmo or whatever is your favorite, but if you are looking for an authentic German cocktail, check out one from this list and pretend you are in your own real-life cabaret, channeling Liza Minnelli.

Manhattan Cocktail Recipe

The classic cocktail, made with rye, sweet vermouth, and bitters.

• Yield: makes 2 cocktails

Ingredients

• 4 ounces rye whiskey
• 2 ounces sweet vermouth
• 4 dashes Angostura bitters
• Garnish: 2 Maraschino cherries

Directions

Pour the whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters into a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir until outside of shaker is very cold to touch.

Place a maraschino cherry in each of two chilled cocktail glasses. Dividing evenly, strain the contents of the shaker over cherries and serve immediately.
