1. Gin og Tonic - A classic, quick and easy to make.
3 cl gin
9 cl tonic
2 slices of lime
2. Sangria - There are several Sangria-recipies; here's one that's simple and not too sweet:
3 oranges (slice two, squeeze the juice from the third)
1 bottle of red wine
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup Cointreau/Grand Marnier'
Mix it all up and put it in a large pitcher. Cool overnight. Yum.
3. Margarita
3 parts tequila
1 part Cointreau/Grand Marnier
2 parts lime-juice
Dip the edge of a cocktail glass in lime-juice and then in rough salt, to form a layer of lime and salt on the edge. Slot in some ice cubes, shake the ingredients in a shaker and pour it in.
4. Moijito
8 mint leaves
2 teaspoons of sugar
The juice of half a lime
4 cl white rum
A dash of Perrier
Crush the mint leaves in a tall glass, add ice cubes, lime-juice and rum. Stir and top it off with some Perrier.
5. Strawberry Daiquiri
4 cl white rum
3 cl lime-juice
1 teaspoon of icing sugar
3 - 4 fresh strawberries
Mix it up in a blender with a cup of ice cubes, until the consistence is like a wet sorbét. Served in cocktail glasses with a slice of strawberry on the edge
