Winter warmer cocktails – new concept for December

Andrew — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:39:52 +0000

Winter warmer cocktails. Us boys are keen to try a new concept for December. We’re currently in talks with a private members club in Market Harborough to offer a range of winter warmers to their members for a period of an hour and a half or so after late night shopping in Market Harborough on Friday 2nd December 2011.

: Winter warmers – our cocktails keep the cold out!

We’re working on offering a range of malts, cognac and armagnac as well as the more fiery liqueurs such as Grand Marnier, Southern Comfort and Chartreuse. Then of course, to live up to our name, it’ll be Rusty Nails, the Sicilian Kiss and B&Bs all the way. Who said a warming winter drink had to be pronounced gluhwein? Certainly not us.

Imbibe, stay warm. Go Cocktail Shaker Boys, that’s our advice!

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.

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 !

Cocktail Shaker Boys and social networking

Cocktail Shaker Boys and social networking. Well we all have to move with the times don’t we ? People often ask us where else we appear and whether they can see more about us.

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 !
