Cocktail Unhurried Comfortable Sex in the New Year 2020 photo

A joke name coined for a cocktail in the 1970s, when literally translated ... is somewhat embarrassing. It's a play on words - the Screwdriver cocktail is complemented by a strong, sweet drink "Southern Comfort" ("Southern Comfort") and gin with blackthorn juice - "sloe gin" (the words "sloe" (turn) and "slow" (slow) sound the same). In any case, the drink is good. And by the previous generation, it was considered something of a modern classic. A cocktail cherry is a small touch characteristic of that time. Two long straws and a plastic decoration - absolute chic in the spirit of the 70s! And by all means, in order to keep the mood, you knock over three cocktails and invite ... someone to a slow dance.

Products:

  • Vodka - 25 ml (1.5 tablespoons)
  • Cocktail Southern Comfort (Southern Comfort) - 18 ml (3 tsp)
  • Gin with sloe berry juice (sloe gin) - 18 ml (3 tsp)
  • Orange juice - 120 ml

"Cock's tail" - this is translated from English, the word cocktail. It is assumed that it was invented about 200 years ago by the Portuguese and Spaniards who arrived. They taught their new countrymen cockfighting.

Each time, after the completion of the cock competitions, merry feasts were arranged. Their participants mixed all the drinks that came to hand. The mixture sparkled with different colors and somehow resembled the bright plumage of a rooster.

Since then, the mixture of drinks has become the cocktail that we know. True, such drinks can be not only alcoholic. Soft drinks are the invention of our days. But in this article, we will only talk about alcoholic cocktails, as the New Year is approaching.

Well, cocktails are generally not for everyone. I'd rather drink champagne in its purest form. But many people love them, and this is still something new. So you need to know what you need and what you can mix with. Suddenly, one of the guests will ask about them.

Notes for information.

Apply pieces food ice in the form of cubes or balls of 6-8 g of the correct form, the size of Walnut. This form of ice does not have time to melt quickly and noticeably dilute the drink.

"Hoarfrost" is when the edges of the glass are decorated with sugar. Obtained by dipping the rim of a glass into lemon or orange juice and then into granulated sugar. (Except for tequila, where the edges are decorated with salt)

"Drunken" cherries are canned or fresh berries cherries aged in alcoholic beverages.
