There’s nothing the cocktail shaker boys like more than to develop new cocktails. Well in truth we also like to drink them and share them with our friends and clients. It’s often said that “2 cocktails is too many but 3 isn’t enough !”We understand this. We are looking to produce a steady stream of new cocktail ideas that you can try at home or out, and we like to share these with you.

We have found that we can add these to Twitter easily, so if Twitter is your thing, have a look for recipes, tips, buying advice and all sorts of random information about cocktails by following us http://twitter.com/CocktlShkrBoys. We add pictures where we can on Tweetphoto too. http://tweetphoto.com/19015213 shows you these 2 new ones.

The Woo Woo appears to be a modern classic, but it doesn’t appear in any of our cocktail books, and the Sandbar is one we’ve developed specially for a client’s 50th party celebrations in Birmingham soon.

Recipes

Woo Woo : 1 1/2 msrs vodka, 1 1/2 msrs peach schnapps, 3 measures cranberry juice. Shake with ice and pour.

The Sandbar : 1 1/2 msrs Malibu, 1 1/2 msrs golden rum, 3 msrs pineapple juice. Again simply shake with ice, pour and enjoy.

The Sandbar has a real lazy Carribean feel to it. Remember “the sun always shines when it pours !” It’s summer so try some recipes and make yourself some delicious cocktails. You’ll be amazed how popular you become !

New cocktails to be developed

New cocktails to be developed by the Cocktail Shaker Boys. We’ve taken delivery of our latest batch of Monin syrups.

Let's make some new cocktails then

We’re planning on developing some fantastic new cocktails based around these unusual syrup flavours. They do something like 65 flavours and we’ve noticed a few coffee shops use them to make flavoured coffee.

We bought Ginger, Green Apple, Butterscotch, Lavender, more Green Apple, Cherry, Raspberry, Rose and Blue Curacao (non-alcoholic.)

We’re already using Monin Green Apple Syrup in the highly popular Green Apple Martini.

We use Rose in the in-house developed Belly Dancer, which has been compared to liquid Turkish Delight.

Stand by for some new cocktail recipes featuring these products, and we’ll post them on Twitter too. In the meantime we’re off to engage in a little liquid alchemy !

Tried out 3 new homespun cocktail recipes this weekend. All cream based. The Midnight Blue featured blue curacao, the Snowdrift looked all white, and the Tobago Afternoon had a sort of banana and coconut thing going on.

3 new cocktails - from the development lab !

For those of you following us on Twitter, http://twitter.com/CocktlShkrBoys you had advanced information about these new cocktails.

New flavour cocktails

We’re keen to keep pushing the boundaries and develop some new cocktails based around some unusual flavours. So it’s time to dust off the white coat and go into the cocktail lab. Tough life eh ?!

Think we’ll get some unusual Monin syrup flavours in and get mixing. Quite fancy working with liquorice, and or lavender, and probably butterscotch. What do you think ? And maybe cherry syrup.

Liquorice based cocktails ? What do you think ?

We’re open to your ideas. Let us know at fun@cocktailshakerboys.co.uk what flavours you’d like to try cocktails based on. Also what do you think of these 3 or 4 we’re considering trying.

There must be worse jobs than experimenting with new cocktails musn’t there ?!
