Long Island Iced Tea looks like a glass of iced tea with lemon, but there is actually no tea in it. Its colour comes from cola, while underneath are four spirits and an orange liqueur, each used in a 15 ml measure: vodka, gin, white rum, tequila and triple sec. The flavour is fresh, citrusy and slightly sweet, so you barely notice the alcohol. And that is exactly what makes this drink…
There is only one ingredient separating a Cuba Libre from an ordinary rum and cola: fresh lime. Without it, you simply have a sweet mixed drink. With it, you get a cocktail that the International Bartenders Association (IBA) classifies among its contemporary classics.

There's no need for a cocktail shaker, as everything is prepared directly in the glass. However, the result depends on more small details than you might think – how you cut the lime, how firmly you muddle it and which spirit you use.
We'll go through the classic recipe step by step…

Homemade Griotka cherry liqueur requires just three ingredients: 1 kg of sour cherries, 300 g of sugar and 1 litre of alcohol. The rest takes care of itself during seven weeks of infusion in a bright spot, as the cherries release their colour, tartness and aroma into the alcohol. The result is a deep ruby-red liqueur that many families save until Christmas.
The same proportions work whether you…

Its iconic appearance comes from a chilled copper mug, but the flavour depends on the quality of the ginger beer and the right balance of ingredients. This is where most homemade attempts go wrong: the drink ends up either bland or too sweet. We'll…

A Margarita requires just three ingredients and takes less than a minute to mix. That is precisely why it is so easy to get wrong: with only three ingredients, every little mistake makes a difference. Too much liqueur, bottled lime juice instead of fresh, or the wrong proportions can quickly turn a refreshing cocktail into a drink that is too sour or overly sweet.

Walnut liqueur smells like Christmas, yet it is made in the middle of summer. It is prepared from green walnuts that still have a soft centre and have not yet developed a hard shell. These young walnuts are transformed into a dark, bittersweet liqueur that our great-grandmothers used to keep both for the festive table and in the home medicine cabinet.
The recipe was passed down from generation…
