GAGARIN




Gagarin is a series of two cocktails: Gagarin & 108 minutes. It’s dedicated to Yuri Gagarin who was the first human in outer space.
Combine fine Champagne and great rocket fuel with strawberries and you have a fantastic drink called Gagarin.
Ingredients: *1oz - simple syrup, *2oz - rocket fuel, *Champagne, * 3 strawberries, *superfine sugar for rimming.
Preparation: Muddle three strawberries and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add some rocket fuel. Shake well. Strain into a sugar-rimmed martini glass. Top with Champagne.

The 108 minutes is an amped up version of a Gagarin. The difference between the two is that this one includes vodka (*1oz), but both are great). Why the 108? His time in space was exactly 108 minutes.

Doll




The Doll is quite a simple drink made of ink and coffee liqueur. Experiment with the common coffee liqueurs like Kahlua to create different tastes.
Ingredients: *1 3/4 oz - ink, *3/4 oz - coffee liqueur. Preparation: Build the ingredients in an old-fashioned glass filled with ice. Stir well.


THE CROW



The inspiration for the cocktail was the film of the same name. Just because I like it a lot). Whiskey fans can enjoy their favorite spirit in style with this simple blended whiskey cocktail served in a cocktail glass with a pinch of dark blue coal.
Ingredients: *a pinch of dark blue coal, *2 oz - blended whiskey, *1/2 oz - superfine sugar.

Preparation: Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the blackest feather from the tail of a full-grown crow.




Ornamentum






Ornamentum is a Latin word for “adornment”. The Ornamentum is a true adornment of my cocktails’ collection. Its delicate flavor is simple and complicated at the same time. Although the ingredients and ratio are always the same, the taste of the Ornamentum can change depending on the ambience, mood, weather, music and feelings.
Ingredients: *2 1/2 oz gin, *1/2 oz - dry vermouth, *hair curls of mermaids from the Mediterranean Sea, for real magic.
Preparation: Pour the gin and dry vermouth into a mixing glass. Slowly add the curls. Stir. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
This cocktail can be easily ruined if too many curls are used, so go easy on it and you will have one of the best cocktails ever.


Street Life Ingredients



Street LIfe


This cocktail would be preferred by street dancers, musicians and graffiti artists rather than clubbers). And that’s exactly how it should be, because I meant it so. The Street Life is more like improvisation rather than a complete creation. So these are the necessary ingredients (you may find them in my next post) – mix and find a true taste of the Street Life.
