Summer Dream

This is a classic cocktail- especially for the long summer days. A blend of wonderful flavours, this cocktail perks you up when it gets hot and humid. A word of caution -never use cheap gin or cola in your drinks. It will take its toll and tell on you-it will ruin a good drink.

Ingredients

A little Cola and Equal parts of:

Rum, Gin, Vodka, Tequila

Give the liquors a good shake and pour the blend into a tall glass.Top it with cola (between 1/2 a shot to a shot per liquor).Add 3-4 large cubes of ice.

Pina Colada

Nothing suits summer more than a great tasty pina colada.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 ounces Rum
• A splash of coconut milk
• Splash of Pineapple Juice

Mix together with ice
Serve in a large decorative glass with a chunk of pineapple on the rim.
Make sure it is served cold and the ingredients mixed well.
You can even leave out the rum for a non-alcoholic treat.

Tequila Sunrise

Sunrise, sunset or any time of the day, this cocktail is a great blend of flavours. The addition of orange juice almost masks the kick of the tequila.

• 2 ounces tequila
• fresh orange juice
• ice cubes

Pour tequila into chilled high glass filled with ice cubes.
Fill up with orange juice.
Stir well so that it sinks to the bottom.
This gives a great colourful sunrise effect in the glass.

Apricot Fizz

• Juice of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 orange
• Ice
• 2 ounces apricot brandy
• Club soda

Blend together the juices, ice and the apricot brandy.
Strain well and top with soda.
