Woo Woo cocktail in the foreground and our own developed cocktail the Sandbar

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 !

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 !

Cocktail Shaker Boys can be found on many of the social networking sites

Well the truth is that we’re putting ourselves about a bit on the social networking sites. We’re already on Twitter, so if you tweet and want to connect follow us at  http://twitter.com/CocktlShkrBoys .

We’ve also created a profile on Facebook, which has pictures and even video clips of some of the stuff we’ve been up to. You do need a Facebook account though in order to be able to access this. But if you’re an avid Facebooker, just key in Cocktail Shaker Boys in the search field and you’ll find the pics. You can add us ‘a friend’ and that way you will have access to all our info.

Finally we’re also now starting to post videos to YouTube – again under the name of Cocktail Shaker Boys. Honestly ! All this social networking is keeping us away from developing new cocktails – which isn’t such good news. So better get back to the bar ! See you soon, and enjoy yourself !

Cocktails being talked about on Harborough FM

The picture on the left shows Moley and Andrew hard at it, discussing how to get in the swing for the forthcoming festivities.  We talked about some easy cocktails and mixed drinks to make at home over Christmas.   We even had a couple of questions e-mailed in from listeners! One was listening online in London !

We’ll be back around Easter time to talk drinks for Easter and early summer. Stay tuned for more details as they say in radio land !

Christmas cocktails in WOW magazine

However today Tuesday 17th November, we’re off to make some cocktails with Tracey and Elaine who are preparing an article for the December edition of WOW magazine.  

We believe cocktail making at home should be fun and made as simple as possible. Cocktails can be a glamorous talking point at your party or social event in Market Harborough and beyond.

Admittedly we’re a bit biased, but serving cocktails at your home or party venue to your guests as they arrive sets the tone doesn’t it – for a classy evening ?

For more information on how cocktails can glam up your evening call us on 01858 410318 or e-mail us fun@cocktailshakerboys.co.uk.
