Which glass to use?
As a rough guideline, choose stemmed glasses for cocktails that are not served on ice, because they will stay cool longer. Use tumblers or highball glasses for drinks served on ice. Stronger cocktails should be served in small glasses and champagne flutes and highball glasses are good for fizzy drinks.  

 
 
 
  Flying Scotsman - Mix three glasses whisky, 2.5 glasses Italian Vermouth and add one tablespoon bitters and a tablespoon of sugar syrup

Huaah!!!

You need:
Brown sugar, Jack Daniels, A slice of orange

Method:
Put the brown sugar on your hand much like salt when drinking Tequila. Put it on your tongue and then shoot a tot of Jack. Then eat the slice of lemon. When the Jack hits your stomach you shout Huaah!!!!!


Rusty Nails - Mix a measure of Drambuie to a measure of whisky and stir well.

Highland Milkmaid - using a spoon, gently add cream to the top of a generous serving of whisky.


Isle of Skye - Equal measures of Drambuie, gin and lemon juice.


Scottish Sparkle Punch - Mix a bottle of dry white wine, two-thirds of a cup of Drambuie and the juice of a lemon in a jug. Chill and, just before it is to be used, add a bottle of chilled sparkling wine and two cups of lemonade. Add plenty of ice before serving.


I came across this cocktail in a night club in East London when I used to live there. Not sure that it is exactly the same as the original but have never had any complains about it to date...other than it was my fault they had a hangover the next day.

Go-Go Juice:
One part each of:
Cane
Vodka
Tequila (white)
Triple Sec
Bacardi
Blue Curacao

Serve with lots of ice and fill with lemonade in a big (i.e. pint) glass (you need to dilute the spirits a bit according to taste).
A friendly warning: One and you warm up, two and you party all night, three and it's good night.
Feel free to add any other white spirits e.g. Gin according to your taste - I have found some very "interesting" white spirits around the world.
Enjoy,
Merry Christmas to you and yours,

We love to experiment with cocktails and came up with this one last December after Thomas got a bottle of peach mampoer as a Christmas gift from someone. So herewith a cocktail recipe that I think could be said to be South African, but it doesn't have a name as it's our own concoction. If you name it let me know.

We have a name for this cocktail, suggested by  Anton of Ceres Internet Café

Mampoer Saamgemoer

2 measures peach mampoer
2 measures orange juice
2 measures peach pulp or juice
Shake well then put dash of grenadine in bottom of glass fill with ice and pour the mixture over (it mustn't mix with the grenadine so pour carefully)
For decoration we then put on a cocktail fork a fresh cherry with a slice of canned peach and a sprig of fresh mint.
