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
- Grab that cocktail shaker and fill it with ice.
- Add the orange and melon liqueurs, the lemon juice, and a dash of blue curacao.
- Then crank up the music and shake it up.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass - we like a coupe or martini style glass.
- Add the garnish at the bottom of the glass.
- 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
- 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.
- Add ice cubes to your glass – we like heart shaped ice. Set the glass aside.
- 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.
- Pour into the prepared glass and use a liquid dropper to add 3-4 drops of chilli oil on the top of the drink.
- Enjoy.
