Drinks : Cocktails...
The cocktails section of the Chiller is where you can find out all about what the best cocktails are for chilling out with. They are the ultimate in chill out indulgence due to the fruity, zingy or subdued tastes. These recipes have been found in books, websites and various other areas and are here for your own experimentation or for when you go on holiday you can remember what cocktails you like, to have the ultimate chilled experience right on your balcony when the sun is setting.
To make cocktails you will need a shaker and some glasses that are according with the listed recipes.
Its is a good idea to chill your drink mixers in the fridge before making cocktails, and chill your glasses before serving too, as cocktails are suposed to be cold, chilling and refreshing.
If you have any cocktail recipes or suggestions of other mixes or variations then feel free to inform me by heading to the contacts page. Of course there are a lot of variations, so I may decide to upload some, but not others.
Now get a glass, some drink, ice and a shaker and prepare to be chilled...
