What is a “Ciroc Press”? 

Haven’t seen this cocktail. If anyone knows how to make it, let us know. Ciroc is an incredible French Vodka made from grapes. Yummy!

Ciroc Vodka

Ingredients

1 750 ml bottle vodka
2 packets grape Kool-Aid
3 quarts water
2 cups sugar
1 liter ginger ale

Instructions

Make Kool Aide according to instructions using the water, sugar, and Kool Aide in a large punch bowl. After sugar is disolved, add a block of ice or dry ice. Then, mix in the vodka. Finally, when ready to serve add the ginger ale.

Serves 30. Frightening!

Berocca, the vitamin C effervescent tablets. Two of those in the morning usually works. It’s ideal for when you’re too sick to stomach orange juice.

Thanks, Laura!

My favorite is a Sidecar. Use cognac instead of brandy! In fact, you can  substitute cognac for any drink made with brandy. Cognac is brandy that is made in the cognac region of France. It is also distilled in a unique way.

As in “floating” alcohol in a drink.

Floating means to pour gently on top of the drink. Floating refers to the fact that you want the liquor to “float” on top of the other ingredients. You also don’t stir a drink after adding a float.

Thanks, Kasandra!

Awesome spot for a brew or tropical favorite in downtown Boston. Friendly service and handy take out from Legal Seafood down the street makes this outside wonder a perfect place to drink away a summer afternoon.
