New cocktails to be developed

Andrew — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:52:58 +0000

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 !

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 !

Cocktails in December issue of WOW magazine

Andrew — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:21:12 +0000

Cocktails are featured in the December issue of Market Harborough’s own WOW magazine. A great magazine that features what’s going on in and around Harboro, with features on Harborough businesses too.

Cocktails add some Christmas cheer - they did for the WOW girls !

The intrepid researchers Tracey and Elaine came and sampled some of the Cocktail Shaker Boys cocktails. Our friends at Marketsquare kindly offered us the use of their fabulous kitchen and we made up 5 classy cocktails. Read more by clicking the link below …

Cocktails at lunchtime !

Andrew — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:52:50 +0000

Cocktails at lunchtime ?! Who’d have thought it ?! We always associate cocktails with evening. And to be honest that’s when they’re at their best : when you can relax and you don’t have deadlines.

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.

Food companies – product development with cocktails

Andrew — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:24:52 +0000

Cocktail Shaker Boys also can help you develop new flavours and cocktail ideas. Not only do we make the established cocktails that we all know and love, but we also like getting our R&D lab coats on and developing new flavours and mixed drinks. We work with food companies to develop products and markets.

Cocktail shots – mini cocktails

Cocktail shots – mini cocktails. This is definitely something you can try at home. Made 6 of the best in miniature last night for guests. 6 I chose : Brave Bull, Tequila Sunrise, Green Apple Martini, Belly Dancer (I think I’ll call this home made creation), Sicilian Kiss and B52.

Some of the world’s great liqueurs

Andrew — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 11:08:54 +0000

Some of the world’s great liqueurs will be featured on this site too.

Yes, they’re not strictly cocktails, but of course they provide the important base for great liqueurs. And as any great chef will tell you a great result will need good quality ingredients. There will be articles appearing on Malibu, Cointreau, Green Chartreuse (a personal favourite – though not for everyone), Grand Marnier, Tia Maria, Advocaat, green Creme de Menthe, Midori and a host of others. Follow the link http://www.cocktailshakerboys.co.uk/index.php/recipes/great-liqueurs/baileys-irish-cream/ to read about a regular favourite Baileys Irish Cream.
