The
Apricot
Cooler is a gorgeous combination of
fruity flavours for a truly refreshing cocktail.
Made
with
De Kuyper Apricot
Brandy, freshly squeezed
lime juice, some sugar syrup, a couple of dashes
of Angostura Bitters, a dash of De
Kuyper Grenadine – this
recipe is then topped up with soda water to
make an invigorating long cocktail for you
to enjoy.

Even
if we don’t see blue
sky that
often here in the UK – this is
a fantastic way to brighten up your
day whatever the weather. This is an
unusual cocktail combination achieved
by mixing De
Kuyper Blue Curaçao with gin, lemon juice and a teaspoon
of egg white. A beautiful blue cocktail
is the end result with a tangy citrus
flavour.

Another
thirst quenching long drink to try out for
Spring is a Fizzing
Cherry. This is a wonderful
fusion of De Kuyper
Cherry Brandy with freshly
squeezed orange juice and lime juice. To balance
out the tartness of the citrus fruits, a half
shot of sugar
(or gomme) syrup is added and
then topped up with lemonade.

If
its minty fresh that you are looking for, then
this is the cocktail recipe
for you.

de Menthe and topped up with ginger
ale. To complement its cool flavours,

green grapes for a perfectly fresh
look.
