WHEN SERVED AT a bar, with a perfect garnish and ice cubes frozen into stylish shapes, cocktails can come off as complicated. But save for something like a sour, the majority of your favourite cocktails are surprisingly easy to make. Take a martini for example: two ingredients, plus a lemon rind or an olive, depending on whether you like it dirty or dry. You’d also be surprised just how many you can make without a shaker. The Bond way isn’t the only way: sometimes, all your drink needs is a classy stir.
With summer officially upon us, and Christmas drinks calling from every corner of our calendars, we’ve put together a collection of the best summer cocktail recipes, so that you can impress your friends and family when entertaining at home.
Next up, we have the recipe to a margarita that guarantees to hit the spot every time. What makes it so special? Firstly it’s made from Teremana Blanco tequila, which flaunts notes of citrus and roasted agave, tropical fruit and a hint of lemongrass, making it the perfect cocktail tequila. Did we mention it’s founded by Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock himself? Another secret ingredient is pineapple juice, which adds a succulent lip-smack to the finished product.
Enjoy on a smoking hot day with plenty of ice. It’s how The Rock takes his.
