Cocktails – Non-Alcoholic And Otherwise
Well done – you've finished all your domestic cleaning London and your house is sparkling. And what better motivation for having a good clean up than preparing for an elegant cocktail party? But what are some good cocktails to serve at a cocktail party, including some for the designated drivers or teetotallers who would rather stay off alcohol? Here's a few classic recipes.
Alcoholic cocktails:
* Manhattan: seven parts rye whisky to three parts sweet Martini. Mix over ice then add a dash of Angostura bitters. Stir together, then pour into a chilled glass. Traditional garnish: a cherry.
* Martini: 9 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth. Stir together (unless you are serving the martini to James Bond, in which case it should be shaken, not stirred) and pour into a chilled glass. Traditional garnish: a twist of lemon (peel and maybe a bit of the juicy part) or a green olive on a toothpick.
* Cosmopolitan: 3 parts vodka, 3 three parts cranberry juice, two parts triple sec/Cointreau, two parts lime juice (not lime cordial). Shake together with ice and pour into a chilled glass. Traditional garnish: a slice of lime fitted over the side.
* Margarita: 4 parts tequila, 3 parts triple sec/Cointreau and three parts lime juice, with a splash each of egg white (which will make it froth slightly) and sugar syrup. Shake together. Traditional garnish: dip the rim of the glass into lemon juice then into salt – do this before pouring the margarita in.
* Pisco sours: 8 parts Pisco (a variety of Peruvian brandy – you can use whisky, in which case, you are making whisky sours), 4 parts lime juice, 3 parts sugar syrup, white of one egg. Shake together, then garnish with a splash of bitters, if desired.
* Mojito: Put a handful each of fresh lime (chopped) and mint leaves into a tall glass. Put in two parts of sugar, then add in six parts white rum and two parts lime juice. Fill with ice. Traditional garnish: a sprig of mint.
* Bloody Mary: 3 parts vodka, 6 parts tomato juice, 1 part lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Shake together, then pour over ice and add celery salt. Traditional garnish: a celery stalk.
* Sangria: red wine (plenty), orange juice (moderate amount), sparkling mineral water (optional) and brandy or triple sec (smaller amount). Mix together in a large jug and add chopped fruit, usually apples and oranges, but you can also try peaches, kiwifruit and banana. The brandy or spirits can be omitted for a less potent version that contains so many antioxidants it's almost healthy.
* Piña Colada: 3 parts white rum, 3 parts coconut cream, 3 parts pineapple juice. Shake together with ice. Traditional garnish: a slice of pineapple and a cherry.
* Daiquiri: 9 parts white rum, 4 parts lime juice, 1 part sugar syrup. Garnish with a wedge of lime.
Non-alcoholic cocktails:
* Virgin Mary: 6 parts tomato juice to 1 part lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Shake together and serve over ice, and add celery salt. Garnish like a Bloody Mary (which it is based on).
* Virgin Piña Colada: equal parts coconut cream and pineapple juice. Serve with ice. Garnish like a regular Piña Colada.
* Shirley Temple: two parts ginger ale, one part orange juice and a splash of grenadine. Shake together. Traditional garnish: a cherry or a slice of lemon.
* Roy Rogers: a mixture of grenadine and cola. Traditional garnish: a cherry.
* Dolce and Gabbana: a variation of the Roy Rogers, using diet cola instead of "regular" cola.
* Jefferson: iced tea and orange juice.
* Faisal Ali: equal parts orange juice, ginger ale and cranberry.
* Pomme Noir: apple juice and cola
For a good cocktail party where people don't get too messy, it's important to make sure that you have plenty of nibbled handy, and think beyond the traditional nuts and prawns – some people are allergic to fish and/or nuts.

How do i put strawberries in shirley temple's?
How do i put the strawberries in Shirley Temple's like at the resturant's?
Like at Red Robin, they put crushed strawberries, or something like that in.
If you want to substitute strawberries for the traditional cherry in a Shirley Temple you can, I would imagine that you do it in the same way, just drop 'em in!
