Sipping Kolmeo style

After a bustling year, there's nothing quite like winding down with colleagues or reuniting with your nearest and dearest over the holidays.

To add a splash of excitement to your celebrations, we’re sharing some Kolmeo-inspired drink recipes.

Whether it's a zesty cocktail or a refreshing mocktail, treat yourself to something cool and refreshing that's bound to tickle your taste buds.

Cocktail – The Kolmeo Slipper

Ingredients

• 30ml Midori melon liqueur
• 30ml Cointreau or other orange liqueur
• 30ml freshly squeezed lemon juice – fresh is definitely best
• A dash of blue curacao
• Honeydew melon slice or ball or a cocktail cherry, to garnish (can be substituted with slice of lemon or lime)

Method

1. Grab that cocktail shaker and fill it with ice.
2. Add the orange and melon liqueurs, the lemon juice, and a dash of blue curacao.
3. Then crank up the music and shake it up.
4. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass - we like a coupe or martini style glass.
5. Add the garnish at the bottom of the glass.
6. Enjoy.

Mocktail – The Kolmeo Spicy Watermelon Margarita

Chilli-salt glass rim

• 1 part salt
• 1 part chilli powder
• Lime wedges

Ingredients

• 30ml non-alcoholic gin (try Lyre’s Dry London Spirit)
• 60 ml watermelon juice (just pop some watermelon flesh in your blender and whiz it up, then strain it if you prefer a smoother juice)
• 45 ml of agave nectar
• 30ml lime juice
• Chilli oil

Method

1. Mix together salt and chilli powder. Run a wedge of lime around the top of the glass, then dip the glass into the salt blend.
2. Add ice cubes to your glass – we like heart shaped ice. Set the glass aside.
3. Get out that trusty cocktail shaker again and fill it with ice. Then add the watermelon juice, non-alcoholic gin, lime juice, agave nectar and give it a good shake.
4. Pour into the prepared glass and use a liquid dropper to add 3-4 drops of chilli oil on the top of the drink.
5. Enjoy.
