Tonight I am home alone with my kid so of course I need to be the responsible dad, which I am, and stay 100% sober, or if you prefer: 0% drunk. Oh no! Tragedy! What about the Martini Marathon, is that over?! …and comes the Mocktini to the rescue :).
The following cocktail is a nice surprise. Even though it’s virgin and “just” a mix of juices, the result is incredible! It looks really nice in a cocktail glass (the photo doesn’t do it justice), but it is so good that you might as well make yourself a bucket of the stuff. It tastes like refreshing liquid Skittles, no kidding. If that makes any sense. Of course you can always add 1 part of vodka to make it a “real” cocktail.
Cinderellatini
- 1 part Orange Juice
- 1 part Pineapple Juice
- 1/2 part Sour Mix
- Club Soda
- 1 dash Grenadine
- A Maraschino Cherry for Garnish
First thing, put the maraschino cherry in your glass. Pour the orange juice, pineapple juice and sour mix in a shaker with cracked ice and shake until your hands hurt. Strain into a cocktail glass and top with club soda by being careful to keep the nice juice foam on top. Now find the Jackson Pollock in you and drizzle grenadine syrup on top to create spots and lines (I use a spoon handle).
Enjoy!
