Tips for Making the BEST Cocktails
- Chill your glasses ahead of time to help ensure the cocktail remains cool to the very last sip.
- Choose premium liquors for the best results. You don’t need to reach for the top shelf but at least avoid scraping the bottom of the barrel.
- Ginger beer is a good substitute for the ginger liqueur.
- To make sure your cocktail is properly chilled, consider using larger ice cubes. They melt slower and won’t water down your drink as quickly.
- Garnish your cocktails for that extra special touch.
- Enjoy your cocktail and don’t forget to drink responsibly. Cheers!
How to Make an Orange Ginger Mocktail
If you are serving someone who prefers an alcohol-free drink, this orange ginger mocktail is the perfect choice.
To make it a mocktail, simply replace the rum and ginger liquor with 2 oz ginger beer and a tablespoon of rum extract. The cointreau can be replaced with a splash of freshly squeezed orange juice.
This is a great way to adjust the recipe for kids to enjoy a fun drink too!
