Let me share the recipe of my virgin margarita. Yes it's possible : first you rim the cocktail glass with a lemon edge then salt, as for a real margarita. Then in a shaker full with ice, you pour 10ml lemon juice (the juice of half a lemon) , 30 ml orange juice (the juice of half an orange) , 20 ml sugar syrup (you can prepare it yourself : boil 250 mg sugar in 250 ml water for a few minutes : that's it !) and 20 ml water. Shake well and drain in the martini glass. Enjoy !
I make virgin mojito by simply replacing the rhum with apple juice, and it tastes better, without the bitterness of the rhum.
Virgin Mary and Virgin tequila sunrise are simply the first without the vodka and the second without the tequila, but the virgin colada would taste much better if you add a dash of liquid cream to the usual coconut/pineapple or pina colada mix, blend it well, and let run into the serving glass a little bit of strawberry syrup : quite amazing !
I also prepare virgin banana colada by blending half a banana with pina colada mix and the juice of half an orange and a little bit of apple juice.
My own version of virgin sex on the beach (??) is 1 oz (30 ml) peach flavored soft drink or soda, 2 oz (60ml) cranberry juice and 2 oz (60ml) orange juice : delicious!
I'm having a hard time making a virgin black russian, I guess it's quite improbable to find a non alcoholic replacement for vodka and kahlua, but I still have to try. If you have a tip, let me know.
As the days go by
This blog was specially dedicated to my bro Fadi, when he was in Qatar ,working there, so he could stay updated with us living in Beirut. Now it is for everyday posting, for whatever passes in my mind.
