2nd #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on the 8th April: Sex on the Beach
The Sex on the Beach is contains vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice and cranberry juice. It is an International Bartenders Association Official Cocktail, although we’ve used half the measures of the official recipe. The Woo Woo we posted last week is a variation of this drink without the orange juice.
1st #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on the 8th April: Grasshopper
The Grasshopper is a sweet, mint-flavoured, after-dinner drink, the name of which derives from its green color, which comes from creme de menthe. A bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, Tujague’s, claims the drink was invented in 1918 by its owner, Philip Guichet. The drink gained popularity during the 1950s and 1960s throughout the American South and came to my attention in the TV show The Big Bang Theory.
This is one of the few, if not the only, mint cocktails I’ve tried which I actually like.
Ingredient List for the #FridayNightCocktails on the 8th April
To help you join in with the upcoming #FridayNightCocktails on the 8th April, we’ve compiled the ingredient list in two formats:
- Separate ingredient lists for the four cocktails we’ll be making, but without quantities or the cocktail names.
- Combined the ingredients into an alphabetical list so as to not “give the game away”.
We’ve hidden the two lists behind toggles so you can choose which list you want to use; this is a new method and we’d appreciate feedback on how well you think it works.

Ingredient List for the #FridayNightCocktails on the 1st April
We had a brief discussion on Twitter the other day when we agreed that I would post the ingredients for the cocktails we’ll be making on Friday 1st April. We’ve selected the cocktails we’ll be making and below is a list of the spirits, bitters, mixers and garnish needed for the four cocktails we’ll be making. Rather than entirely giving the game away, so to speak, we’ve created two ingredients lists for you:
- Separate ingredient lists for the four cocktails we’ll be making, but without quantities or the cocktail names.
- Combined the ingredients into an alphabetical list so as to not “give the game away”.
We’ve hidden the two lists behind toggles so you can choose which list you want to use; this is a new method and we’d appreciate feedback on how well you think it works.
