- Jigger: Use a jigger to measure the alcohol for an accurate pour.
- Cocktail Stirrer: Whisk the limoncello spritz ingredients together with a cocktail stirrer.

Caipirinha Recipe Introduce your guests to the national drink of Brazil, the caipirinha! A perfect summer cocktail, the caipirinha (pronounced kai-pir-reen-yah) is the South American version of a mojito. The key ingredients to a Caipirinha include fresh, muddled lime and the Brazilian spirit, Cachaca. This easy-to-make mixed drink is tart and sweet, a refreshing combination for your summer menu.

Mexican Mai Tai Recipe Just like a classic Mai Tai recipe, this summer cocktail includes an almond-flavored syrup called orgeat (pronounced or-zhaat). We added a Mexican flair by replacing the rum with tequila and adding a salted rim. The result is a perfect summer mixed drink that combines the refreshing tartness of a margarita with the sweetness of a tropical tiki cocktail. Mexican Mai Tai Ingredients Makes 1 cocktail 1 1/2 ounces tequila 1/2 ounce orange curacao 1/2 ounce orgeat 3/4 ounce lime juice Rimming salt How to Make a Mexican Mai Tai Pour liquid ingredients into cocktail shaker and shake them thoroughly.

How to Make Strawberry Rose Sangria
This sparkling pink sangria recipe is a great way to update your drink menu with a fresh and fruity cocktail. It's easy to make and you can prepare it in advance to save precious time during a busy shift. Offer pitchers of strawberry rose sangria as part of your Valentine's Day promotions or even a Mother's Day brunch. Easy Rose Sangria with Fresh Strawberries Check out our video to learn how to make this simple strawberry rose sangria: <iframe itemprop="embedURL" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wml1IAkl_Ck?si=YmxTWNAS_jTv_bV8?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Strawberry Rose Sangria Recipe Our sangria recipe is light and sweet with just a hint of rose flavor. We use strawberry rose syrup, but you can try experimenting with different syrup flavors to create your own sangria recipe! We recommend using dry rose wine because it balances out the sweetness of the other ingredients. Approximate Yield: 6-8 servings Ingredients 4 ounces Monin Strawberry Rose 4 ounces orange juice 1/2 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced 1 lemon, cut into slices 1 bottle dry rose wine (750 mL) 4 ounces brandy or Grand Marnier 16 ounces club soda or seltzer water Rose petals for garnish Directions Combine strawberry rose syrup, orange juice, strawberries, and lemon slices in large pitcher. Refrigerate pitcher for about an hour to let flavors combine. Add rose wine and brandy, then refrigerate for at least one more hour. When ready to serve whole pitcher, add club soda and stir. For single servings, do not add club soda to pitcher. Instead, fill cocktail glass halfway with ice, add about 5 or 6 ounces of sangria, and top off with club soda. Garnish with rose petals. Please note: Whether you're serving this sangria by the glass or by the pitcher, don't add the club soda until just before you are ready to serve. If you add the club soda too soon, the sangria will lose the bubbles and go flat. This sangria recipe is perfect for customers who are looking for something sweet and fruity. It's light and refreshing with just a hint of floral flavor from the rose syrup. Plus, when you serve this vibrant pink sangria by the pitcher, it makes a beautiful presentation that will attract attention from other tables and help to increase your sales.
