We agree that a sumptuous hot tub or whirlpool bath can be
the perfect luxury after a long hard day at work. As hot bubbles rise and
massage your muscles, there really is no better way to unwind. With all this
heat though, isn’t it right we accompanied a Jacuzzi with a delicious cool
drink? Hot tubs can be enjoyed alone or with friends, either way, a few cheeky
cocktails are always a delicious and sometimes eventful accompaniment to your
Jacuzzi experience: so this blog is aimed at those who like the richer things
in life…A beginners guide to cocktails.
Mojito
The word Mojito rolls off the tongue, makes you sound
cultured and is often ordered abroad after a few drinks purely for the name
rather than the taste but, if your not totally inebriated, you will discover
that a Mojito is actually a refreshing beverage and more than worthy to join
you in the hot tub.
2 parts white rum
1 part lime juice
Top up soda water
10 mint sprigs
1 part ice cubes
1 lime slice
1 table spoon of sugar
Often over shadowed by more glamorous cocktails, while
drinking abroad, the Long Island Ice Tea is very refreshing, and although the
phrase “I got smashed on Long Island Ice Tea last night” is not often heard uttered
around holiday resorts, the delicious half sister of the quintessential English
cupper packs quite a punch.
½ part gin
½ part white rum
½ part tequila
1 part vodka
½ part triple sec
Top up cola
Dash of lime juice
Dash of lemon juice
5 ice cubes
1 lemon wedge
Dash of sugar syrup
Margarita
A simple classic which is often
the culprit for the occasional holiday disaster but even more often the
instigator of great times as well as being pretty damn tasty to boot.
1 part Tequila
1 part Triple sec
1 part Lime juice
Pina Colada
Again, another cocktail usually
purchased to make you feel more exotic, the Pina Colada, when enjoyed before
your taste buds haven’t been destroyed by an insane concoction of Belgium lager,
Sambuca, Absinthe and Bombay Saphire (maybe not the latter) is actually a
delicious concoction of coconut and pineapple.
2 parts gold rum
1 teaspoon cream of coconut
Dash of cream
3 parts pineapple juice
1 orange slice
Screaming Orgasm
The Screaming Orgasm is the wild
card, certainly not a cocktail classic and has a slightly risqué name which
hopefully doesn’t cause any offence to our readers, but it is worth mentioning
due to its simple ingredients which can be found in any self respecting drinks
cabinet.
1 part vodka
½ part Kahlua
1 ½ parts Bailey’s Irish Cream
That concludes our brief guide to cocktails,
remember ‘parts’ can be judged on whether you wish your Jacuzzi experience to
be pleasant or for you to be paralytic. Drink safe and enjoy the tub.
