Cherry Smash The fresh cherries are on the way, so let’s prepare a cherry smash. This drink is really very light, refreshing and most of the times only one will not be sufficient for your desirable lust for cherries. If in case the recipe is not really on your taste, you can always add additional ingredients like using a cherry liquor to touch up the flavor, or using different sort of

Somewhere in my experience as a bartender (when working) and a customer (when I'm chilling in my free time) I  was able to see how things MUST NOT be done when you work behind the bar. Somewhere in all this working and chilling I got sick! Sick of wannabe's who call themselves bartenders and provides low services. Sick of those employers who just really don't care if you are a good and crave

A not so long ago - in 1988 the term "Molecular and Physical Gastronomy" was introduced by Nicholas Kurti and Herve This - some strange people which I really don't care how and why they decide to do that. I am sure that the "molecular idea" used in culinary can be found way back before 1988. Anyway, you can search more articles for this subject on the net, if you are interested in, but this

A while ago on the Midori's website was released a very nice iPhone application, which allows you to mix and shake some of your favorite cocktails that contains this nice melon-flavored liqueur! I find it really appealing and it gives me some ideas. By this application you can freely reading and memorizing cocktails in your free time if you are a bartender. Or perhaps if

I just remember this quote from the movie Face/Off, when Castor Troy said: Peach. l can eat a peach for hours. Haha very memorable I think. If you like peaches too, then this drink for sure will sharpen your peachy senses leaving you nice memories ... and if you drink 4 or 5 maybe no memories at all :) Don't hesitate to taste it.  I tried to find fresh peaches for this intensifier

I was thinking these days when will summer come again. I miss the hot days and the fresh cocktails that gives you an ethereal sensation and cools your body and mind like the breeze on the beach. I know it is winter season but I crave for this feeling NOW ! So I came up with this drink and I believe that... many people have not experienced such a flavor before and never will because of the

I'm happy to announce that Blush Cocktails finally has a logo and a new header (which will be corrected a little bit). The logo is made by the designer Boriana Lukanova (portfolio here soon)  ... so everything is professional here, no compromises with the quality baby ! :) I hope that you like it like I do. Oh yes this will be a neon sign of my own bar one day, where the cocktails

I think everybody who is a little bit interested in flairing has heard of the two legends of this art, the pioneers - Christian and Rodrigo Delpech. See what happens when two of the most talented bartenders collide in a flair-off challenge in Kahunaville.  (press Read more to see the video)  (Watch it on a higher quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XjiJVi8QL8 ) Grab your flair

It's a secret but I love Autumn and it's another secret that I love Manhattan (the cocktail). I remember with nostalgia about the autumn days when you can walk hand-in-hand with your love in the park, watching the the fall of the leaf, talking or just be silent and enjoy the moment. I really miss fall. The Manhattan cocktail is one of the classics with a lot of variations and widely propagated in

It's in the middle of December and the weather is quite cold around this part of the world, which I live in. I'm sitting on the bus stop and waiting for the bus. I'm deadly freezing and some snowflakes are dancing around me, exalting this chilling sensation. I'm thinking only for one thing, one thing and only one - something hot for drinking. No I don't want a tea ... I want something more

I bet that almost anyone of you had that kind of mornings which you curse the amount of drunk cocktails at the night before. The place was good, there were some of your best friends and somehow the liquor was just pouring from itself in your glass. No one is thinking about the next day. (Some other time we will discuss how to avoid drinking when you are on a work behind the bar). The night is

We all know that probably the best spot for pick-up a girl (or maybe a guy) or just for an acquaintance with one, is in the bar, but why ? Well no one knows, at least no one could give a straight answer. This a complex of factors which have influence on people. There are a lots and lots of bars in which the right atmosphere for a new acquaintance (or if you just want to get laid) with the

Радвам се да ви уведомя, че след дълги размишления, безсънни нощи и прилично количество изпити коктейли, водещо предимно до безприличие, постовете в www.blush-cocktails.com вече ще могат да се четат и на роден език! Тоновете изчетена информация по въпроса как всъщност да се случва това, въобще не бяха от полза. Решението дойде от един магически джин, отдавна затворен и забравен в бутилка.
