Orange cocktails are the best refreshing drink, which will be especially useful in the hot summer. There are many cooking recipes. They come in both non-alcoholic and with the addition of alcoholic beverages. Both can be prepared at home without any problems. An orange juice cocktail is the best way to start your day.
Correcting stereotypes
Here's an example. Every day a man bought 4 liters of beer at the same kiosk, brought it home and drank it while sitting in front of the TV. Now he buys 4 liters of Coca-Cola every day at the same kiosk and drinks it in front of the TV instead of beer. In this case, the drink was replaced, but the behavior pattern remained the same. This is bad.
This behavior will not relieve tension in someone who has quit drinking. The stereotype urgently needs to be replaced. To do this, this patient must go to the supermarket (in no case to that kiosk), buy Coca-Cola for the whole week, put it in the refrigerator and drink it whenever he pleases, and not only in the evenings in front of the TV.
Thus, not only will the drink be replaced, but also the behavior stereotype will be completely replaced. We must always strive to ensure that the replacement of a stereotype is as complete as possible. Here is another example of a complete replacement: a patient during a period of drunkenness visited a bar every day on his way from work. Now he has stopped drinking and goes to the gym after work.
What to do if a former alcoholic is forced to take part in a feast? It turns out there is nothing wrong with this. Those who quit drinking can safely celebrate with everyone else if they use the principle of maximum replacement. It is not enough to replace wine with juice and vodka with mineral water. Other attributes are also important.

For example, it is not recommended to pour grape juice into glasses intended for wine, and mineral water into vodka glasses. This seems like a small thing, but it imitates the process of drinking wine or vodka. As we already know, imitation is unacceptable. For a complete replacement, juice or water should be poured into a tall glass specially designed for non-alcoholic drinks, and feel free to use it while other guests are drinking from glasses and glasses.
So, here are the simple rules of conduct for someone who has quit drinking in a drinking party:
- If there is wine on the table, you need to use a completely different wine glass, filling it with a non-alcoholic drink, which is sharply different in color and taste from wine.
- If there is vodka on the table, it is best to replace it with some sweet fizzy drink (for example, lemonade), and, of course, drink from anything, but not from a glass.
- If guests drink beer from large wine glasses or beer mugs, they should drink mineral water, cola or juice directly from the neck of the bottle. If guests themselves prefer to drink beer from the bottle, then it is recommended to do the opposite - use a glass (wine glass).
A person who quits drinking must constantly make a challenge - yes, I’m not like that. Yes, I drink completely different drinks and in a completely different way!
Firstly, it’s stupid, because you won’t be able to hide anything anyway. Secondly, it is humiliating. And thirdly, such behavior indicates the wrong motivation of the person who quit drinking and increases the likelihood of a relapse.
And vice versa, when a former alcoholic does not consider his presence in a drunken company a problem, he feels free and relaxed, but unswervingly follows his own rule - to always remain absolutely sober, this indicates the correct motivation of the person and often evokes respect from others.
How to drink Cointreau
There are several ways to drink Cointreau correctly.
It stimulates the appetite and is therefore often used as an aperitif. In this case, it is served pre-chilled. In this state, the citrus aroma is not heard so brightly and clearly, but the taste characteristics are preserved. In addition, a cold drink has a tonic and refreshing effect.
You can also drink it after meals. It is poured into simple glasses or shot glasses and consumed in slow sips. This is done in order to fully appreciate the bright citrus aroma and pleasant taste.
To reduce the strength of the drink, you can dilute it with citrus juice or purified water.
Cocktails with Cointreau liqueur are also widespread.
Making cocktails with liqueur
There is a huge variety of all kinds of liqueurs: chocolate, egg, cream, berry, milk and many others. Coffee liqueur occupies one of the leading positions. In its pure form, coffee liqueur seems too sugary to many, but in cocktails it will reveal its delicate and sweet taste. Coffee cocktails with liqueur can be divided into two types:
- Liqueur plays the role of a sweet ingredient in conjunction with the other components of the cocktail.
- Coffee alcohol is the main ingredient to which other drinks are added.
The first type of cocktail can be served as an aperitif, the second type is served after a meal, like a classic digestif.
Cocktails are poured into martini glasses, narrow tall glasses, and cocktail glasses. Typically, drinks are served with straws through which the cocktail can be sipped slowly while enjoying the taste. Some shakes are drunk in one gulp, immediately after they are poured into glasses.
Cocktails with Kahlua liqueur
Kahlua is a Mexican sweet alcohol with the aroma and taste of natural coffee beans. Kahlua can be consumed in its pure form, but is more often used as an ingredient in a variety of shakes. The most popular cocktails with Kahlua:

- We take a liqueur glass. Pour the first layer of Kahlua.
- The second layer is Baileys. To ensure that the layers do not mix with each other, pour each layer along the blade of a knife (you can use the back of a bar spoon).
- The finishing touch is a layer of Cointreau. Light the cocktail and serve with a straw.
Apache cocktail
The layered drink is easy to prepare at home. You will need 15 ml each of Kahlua, Midori and Baileys liqueurs. Pour Kahlua into a cocktail glass, then a layer of Midori, and finish with a layer of Baileys.

How to make an Aperol Spritz cocktail: classic recipe
The Aperol Spritz cocktail can be prepared in different ways; in each region, bartenders have their own recipes. In any case, the components must be cooled and combined in a certain proportion.
Traditional components of the drink:
- Bitter Venetian liqueur Aperol – 2 parts.
- Dry sparkling wine Prosecco (Italian) – 5 parts.
- Sparkling water - 3 parts.
Both the composition of the cocktail and the recipe for making Aperol Spritz are very simple. First, bartenders place ice cubes in the bottom of the glass and pour Prosecco. Then add soda and top it with Aperol. The main component is introduced in a thin stream. A Tumblr, Collins, or white wine glass is garnished with an orange slice. The drink is served with Italian dishes.
In Italy, the cocktail is not mixed, and it turns out flaky. Americans mix all the ingredients in a shaker. The tonic does not lose its original taste when mixed, but it loses in color and does not look as attractive in appearance as the Italians. In addition, sparkling water exhibits its effervescent properties worse when mixing all liquids.

Cocktail “White Russian”: composition and recipe
The White Russian cocktail, which is distinguished by its simple and quick preparation, as well as its pleasant taste, has been delighting its fans for many years. Treat yourself to it after a hard week of work, try to create your own version of this drink and surprise your friends with it. You can also prepare it for your family and friends on the occasion of a birthday or a long-awaited meeting, creating a special warm atmosphere.
A few words about the history of the drink
The White Russian cocktail appeared in 1949. Initially, it was called “Black Russian” because it did not contain cream. On November 21, 1965, the Oakland Tribune published a new formulation of the old drink, as a result of which it was, so to speak, “whitened”: a glass of Old Fashioned is filled half with soft vodka, and the other half with coffee liqueur. At the end, crushed ice cubes are added and whipped cream on top. Gourmets are convinced that the White Russian cocktail is much sweeter and more pleasant to taste than its predecessor.
It is also curious that it was not invented in Russia, but by foreigners because of the well-known name “White Guards”. The appearance of the drink was also facilitated by the fact that in the 1930s, Russian vodka was gaining popularity in the market of near and far abroad.
The first and main method of preparation
It is extremely important to know how many milliliters the container in which you will prepare the White Russian cocktail can hold. The recipe for this drink in culinary sources differs markedly from each other in the number of ingredients, since the Old Fashioned glass comes in different sizes. To prepare one serving (150 ml) at home, you need to purchase:
To prepare one serving (150 ml) at home, you need to purchase:
- vodka;
- Kahula coffee liqueur;
- ice in the form of small cubes;
- whipped cream.
The cocktail is prepared using the “Build” method (the ingredients are poured in layers) in the same glass in which it is served. Place a small amount of ice on the bottom (four crushed cubes will be enough). Don't overdo it or it will melt and make your cocktail tasteless. Next, add 90 ml of vodka and 45 ml of liqueur. To preserve their layers, hold the edge of a knife or spoon over the glass and pour the ingredients directly onto them. The top of this mixture is filled with a layer of whipped cream (about one tablespoon).
Finally, thinly sliced lemon slices, chocolate or coconut shavings are often used to enhance the flavor. On the contrary, to soften it, you can add equal amounts of vodka and liqueur.
Cooking variations
Over the decades of the recipe’s existence, gourmets have many times added original additives to the White Russian cocktail. The composition changed, and the drink only became tastier and more perfect.
Instead of the standard “Build” method, you can use “Shake”, that is, shaking a fully prepared cocktail. This will change its taste. To reduce the strength of the drink, coffee liqueur is replaced with cocoa or cream, which is thoroughly stirred before use. Cream can be replaced with one tablespoon of milk. Thus, they replace vodka with rum (“White Cuban”).
The result of such experiments was the emergence of new flavors and names of cocktails. For example, Dirty Russian, which translated from English means “Dirty Russian”. It replaces whipped cream with chocolate syrup. Impale Russian (“Russian puncture”) - Sheridan liqueur is added here instead of Kahula and cream.
In restaurants and bars, a level teaspoon of sugar is also added to the standard composition, as well as two tablespoons of coconut powder (not shavings!), after which it is all mixed. The “Shake” is completed, as usual, with a few ice cubes and cream. Instead of the latter, syrup or ice cream is also added.
Why him?
The White Russian cocktail is so famous in the world that it is even mentioned in movies. It is the favorite drink of the characters in the films Geeks and The Big Lebowski. After the release of the latter, the cocktail was no longer considered “feminine”. Even Einstein himself managed to cook it in heaven in the American TV series Supernatural.
