1001 COCKTAILS

Ramki

Chennai, Tamilnadu, India

"There is something about a Martini,

A tingle remarkably pleasant;

A yellow, a mellow Martini;

I wish I had one at present.

There is something about a Martini,

Ere the dining and dancing begin,

And to tell you the truth,

It is not the vermouth--

I think that perhaps it's the gin."

Ogden Nash's irreverent lines are among my favourite poems.
Here's my toast to Ogden Nash - 1000 more cocktails he'd want to sing about !

Mixing cocktails in India can be a pain. With no cocktail culture, most of the ingredients needed are just not available. So I've designed these cocktails around stuff available at most Indian stores.

Dressing up a cocktail is an art. The best way to learn cocktail dressing is to see them gloriously presented in one of my favourite blogs - Ideas in Food by chefs Aki and Alex.

And that goes to Jukebox - Cooking challenge from Sunshine Mom.
