According to our age-old traditions, no holiday is complete without the participation of a rich variety of alcoholic beverages. Of course, the representatives of the stronger sex use much more at celebrations compared to women. But beautiful ladies are also willing to indulge themselves with intoxicants to cheer up and enjoy the pleasant taste. Unlike men who prefer strong alcohol, women's taste is more diverse.

It is much more interesting for the representatives of the weaker sex to feel the whole range of exquisite alcohol, to feel the bouquet of taste and feel the aroma. And not be content with the intoxicating breath caught from the fortress. Let's talk about what women's alcoholic drinks are considered traditional and how to choose them correctly.

Of all the variety of alcohol, women prefer refined and sweet drinks.

According to statistics, the representatives of the weaker sex prefer aromatic and sweetened alcoholic beverages. Ladies are curious about the nuances of taste, not the understanding of degrees. According to a sociological survey, a rating of the most popular alcohol among women was compiled. This list includes the following drinks:

  1. Guilt.
  2. Vermouth.
  3. Champagne.
  4. Sweet liqueurs.
  5. Fruity hoppy beer.

Aromatic wines

Most often, women prefer rich red sweet / semi-sweet wine products. No less popular are refined rosé wines with a light, pleasant and unobtrusive aroma. White is also popular, with a cold-calm taste, which, according to the same statistics, is preferred by prudent and self-confident ladies.

The main center for the production of rose wine is Provence - a small town in the south-east of France.

Experts advise lovers of rose wines to choose those drinks that have an unsaturated, pale pink tint. Such alcohol is famous for its good taste and will surely please women with a rich palette of taste.

Red wine is said to be healthier

Spicy vermouth

This alcoholic drink can be attributed to a truly feminine one, men almost never get carried away with it. At its core, vermouth is also wine, but fortified, with a pronounced aroma of spices.. Experts classify vermouth into five categories:

  1. Dry (dry). With sugar concentration up to 4%.
  2. Bianco (white). Perceptually sweeter than dry vermouth and includes about 15% sucrose.
  3. Rosso (red). It has a tart-bitter taste, but quite sweet. The amount of sugar in it reaches from 15%.
  4. Rose (pink). The drink is a cross between Rosso and Bianco.
  5. Bitter (bitter). Not so popular with ladies with a sweet tooth, but still has its own group of fans.

Experts advise giving preference to Italian and French-made vermouth. The strength of this drink varies between 15-18%.

One of the most common and favorite among girls is Martini vermouth. This drink has a rich variety. In particular, you can first understand what the Martini will taste like by its color scheme:

  • red color has a mild aftertaste of tea;
  • white is distinguished by light spice and vanilla.

Experts recommend trying one of the new vermouths of this brand - Martini Gold. It is made on the basis of white wine, where citrus peel, saffron, ginger, bergamot and a number of other spices are added. By the way, original women's alcoholic cocktails are created on the basis of vermouth, tart and pleasant for perception. They can be easily made at home and pamper yourself and your friends who came to visit.

Martini Gold

sparkling champagne

If you follow official traditions, then only sparkling wine produced in Champagne (French province) can be called champagne. All other champagne belongs to the category of sparkling wines. According to statistics, such light carbonated drinks as:

  • Cava (Spain);
  • Sekt (Germany);
  • Spumante (Italy);
  • Crémant (France).

In order to navigate well in choosing real champagne, you should know some useful recommendations. In particular, carefully study the label, where the manufacturer's abbreviation must be present. For example:

  1. NM (or Negociant Manipulant). Companies that purchase raw materials from other suppliers, while they themselves are directly involved in the manufacture of champagne.
  2. ND (or Négociant Distributeur). Organizations producing champagne under their own brand.

As for the choice of sparkling wines, it is better to choose this most delicious alcohol for girls, focusing on your own taste preferences. In particular, know the translation of some definitions that are written on the label:

  • brut (dry);
  • demi-sec (semi-sweet);
  • sec/extra sec (semi-dry);
  • doux (most sweetened);
  • extra brut (without or with a minimum amount of sucrose).

Sweet liqueurs

It has been noticed that the fair sex most often choose coffee, egg and milk liqueurs. On the basis of these alcoholic drinks, rich in sweetness, a variety of alcoholic cocktails are made for girls, and older ladies also love them.

Liqueurs have been known since the Middle Ages, such alcohol in those gloomy, distant times was called the "elixir of life." Today, one of the most popular liqueurs is the legendary Baileys, made on the basis of Irish whiskey and cream, with the addition of cocoa and caramel.

Initially, liqueurs were prepared on the basis of berry / fruit juices with the addition of spices and various aromatic roots. The production of modern liqueurs is ubiquitous. The best liquor representatives are considered to be drinks made in Ireland and Italy.. The strength of such alcohol can reach 70% (of course, it is already difficult to rank this alcohol among women).

Baileys liqueur is one of the favorite drinks for women.

The culture of drinking sweet liqueurs is as diverse as the drink itself. It is allowed to use it in a "pure" form, add to coffee, tea. By the way, you can create your own, exclusive cocktails based on liqueurs. Thanks to the huge variety of flavors, this drink is ideal for such experiments.

Fruity hoppy beer

Beer, according to its classical canons, was considered a male drink. But recently, the fair sex has pushed men in this field. In modern women, fruit foam is gaining immense popularity. It does not have the inherent bitterness of classic beer and is sold in small, elegant bottles.

Fruit beer, unlike the usual one, is also distinguished by its low calorie content, which only adds to its popularity among the fairer sex.

Fruit foam is also distinguished by a small strength (only 5–7%), which is also important for a woman.. Connoisseurs advise choosing this type of intoxicating drink from German and Belgian producers. If you want to taste something sweet, then the best choice is coconut beer (in bars it is served in a nut shell). And for lovers of sourness, cherry will be ideal.

conclusions

As you can see, the world of alcoholic drinks that are ideal for girls and ladies is rich and varied. It is almost impossible to try all the "female" alcohol. But do not be zealous, because the basis of any alcohol is ethanol, which is a poison for the body. Therefore, when choosing alcohol for a holiday for women, you should be guided by one simple rule: everything is good in moderation.

Just like the fashion for perfume, the fashion for mixed drinks is constantly changing. However, at the heart of all varieties of cocktails there are no more than 70 compositions. At the moment, instead of complex combinations, a kind of minimalism of three or four components prevails in the drink.

The best cocktails with very harmless names:

1Cocktail Amor


Cocktail menus of many establishments contain positions that can lull your girlfriend's vigilance. We mean mixes with very beautiful names, but unexpectedly serious content and, accordingly, the effect. Just do not show the girl the menu, but simply invite her to try, for example, an Amor cocktail.

She will think that this is a declaration of love, and she will be even more sure of this when she touches her lips to ice in an empty glass. And there is no way back - to insults and reproaches. 40 ml of tequila in alliance with 30 ml of Cointreau did their job. The bartender disguised a quite tangible dose of alcohol for the girl with a pinch of salt, lime and lemon juice.

2Sweet lady cocktail




Of course, much depends on the woman's sensitivity to alcohol. For another gentle person, a Sweet lady cocktail may be enough. Whiskey (whatever admirers of this drink say) few girls drink. Therefore, only a few of the fair sex are familiar with its effect. A few graceful movements of the bartender - and 40 ml of Scotch whiskey turn out to be part of the best cocktail: 10 ml of Creme de Cacao liqueur and 10 ml of Peach brandy liqueur.

3White Lady Cocktail


Compared to "Sweet Lady", "White Lady" seems like heavy artillery. It all depends on your goals. One of the best White Lady cocktails is suitable for when your girlfriend is already on the verge of hysteria, or when an offer to visit you is rebuffed and resented.

Invite her to come in for a “light cocktail”. Behind the airy name in this case is a very serious (by female standards) mix of 60 ml of gin and 30 ml of Cointreau. The orange flavor of "Cointreau" is complemented by lemon juice and the protein of half a chicken egg. Of course, the girl will still notice a noticeable amount of alcohol, but the unusual taste will make her quickly cope with this cocktail.

4Merry-go-round cocktail


If the situation is completely out of control and you could barely lure your companion to the table, then you need trouble-free recipes with names in which it is simply impossible to suspect something was wrong. Tell the bartender, "Double Chivas for me and a merry-go-round for the lady." And most importantly - do not let your companion peep how the bartender will mix vodka, the same indispensable Cointreau, vermouth and champagne. A bit like the Cosmopolitan so adored by the ladies. But the "magic of magic bubbles" will make even the most impregnable girl a languid and sensual woman.

5 Cocktail "In bed"


If you find yourself in a position where the beauty flatly refuses to cross the line between a protracted flirtation and ... a serious relationship, then order a cocktail at the bar with the telling name "In Bed". The content corresponds to: brandy, light rum, Cointreau, lemon juice (all 25 ml each) and a tablespoon of sugar syrup (glucose enhances the effect of alcohol). After such a cocktail, any girl ceases to control her emotions and will not mind embodying her secret fantasies. The name of the cocktail fully reflects them. The best of the best so to speak.

Girls drink cocktails because cocktails are beautiful, there is almost no alcohol in them, and they are served in elegant glasses that do not look like nightmarish beer mugs. We have selected 8 of the most fashionable and most spring cocktails.


French Kiss Honey Cosmo Emporio Champagne

1. French kiss
(strawberry, bourbon, grenadine, lemon juice, coconut syrup)
A cocktail with a strawberry-cream flavor inspires both provocative dances and romantic hookah gatherings.

2. Honey Cosmo
(honey, rum, tea, nutmeg, cinnamon, orange, lemon, apple)
A hot and fragrant cocktail in the March slush is especially indicated for girls who wrap themselves in a scarf from head to toe all winter and still catch a cold. While Honey Cosmo has nothing to do with the Cosmopolitan, the Sex and the City girlfriends' favorite cocktail, it is just as much the perfect drink for a bachelorette party. A ridiculous dose of alcohol, skillfully disguised with tea and ennobled with fruit, will not hurt to discuss pressing problems, brag about a new boyfriend or, at worst, an awesome blouse.

3. Emporio Champagne
(Galliano, prosecco, grappa, lemon juice, lemon marmalade)
A cocktail for sophisticated fashionistas who go to shows and shopping in Milan and wear now what everyone will be wearing in six months. Renowned bartender Alexander Kan took the once trendy Cosmopolitan cocktail, replaced the cranberry flavor with lemon, and vodka with grappa, added Italian sparkling and a stylish lemon twist knot, and got a mix ahead of fashion. Having played enough in the spring with catchy colors and exotic combinations, in the fall we all want the same minimalism - both light and intellectual.

4. Ruby
(pomegranate berries, champagne, grenadine, ice)
The pomegranate looks unobtrusive, but inside it hides surprises and treasures - just like connoisseurs of the Ruby cocktail. Speaking of such pseudo-shy people, they usually remember the “quiet pool”. "Ruby", made from fresh pomegranate berries and champagne, may also seem modest and restrained, but in fact it turns out to be exquisite and dizzying. This cocktail is also suitable for girls who are on a diet: there are few calories in pomegranate berries, but there is more than enough energy. A charge of vivacity will come in handy on the dance floor - and the next day it will be possible to oversleep a workout in a fitness club with a clear conscience.

5. Sweet Poison
(gin, vodka, tequila, triple sec, Malibu coconut rum, champagne, cherry syrup)
This explosive mixture can lead to overly playful and uninhibited behavior. A heavy dose of alcohol is flavored with cherry syrup and served with plenty of ice to cool off the adventurer's ardor. Compared to most "lady's" drinks, "Sweet Poison" is unusually strong, therefore it is recommended for girls who are emotional and not afraid of change.

6. Golden Cuba
(pineapple, orange and lemon juices, Cointreau liqueur, Bacardi Superior white rum, passion fruit syrup)
Sipping this soft tropical cocktail, you imagine yourself in a sun lounger on the ocean. A mix of freshly squeezed juices, orange liqueur and rum with creamy notes from nowhere, like melting ice cream, gives a sweet feeling of freedom. Tried once - and consider that you are in slavery to this memorable range. After the second portion, you want to dance samba with a sultry Latino, after the third - wave to the airport and buy a one-way ticket to Cuba.

7. Sweetie
(peach, banana, strawberry liqueur, Veda vodka, whipped cream, chocolate chips)
It is with this cocktail that a girlfriend should be brought to life after the next man of her dreams turned out to be another “March cat”. As a decoration - a hefty portion of whipped cream with chocolate chips. If the situation requires drastic measures, you can force your friend to drink a cocktail in layers: drink vodka with liqueurs and have a snack with cream. An option for a long soul-saving conversation in the genre of “all men are bastards”: stir before drinking so that the vodka is distributed evenly throughout the cocktail. A contrasting mixture of strong alcohol and cream, plus a horse dose of sweets, can overcome any blues. And as for calories ... There are problems and more important than diets!

8. Lychee Royal
(champagne, lychee berries, lychee puree and liqueur)
Lychee is called both “Chinese cherry” and “paradise grape”, although this overseas fruit has nothing in common with either one or the other. Lychee cocktails are loved by young progressive ladies who are avid for the exotic and trying to grab all the fashion trends on the fly. And the soft twilight of Vision literally provokes experiments with new tastes. In "Lychee Royal" one feels some painfully familiar and unbearably pleasant notes. Trying to understand what exactly this taste is like, you resolutely ask to repeat - again and again. And suddenly, when it already seems that the experiment is on the verge of failure, an insight comes: maybe on canned apples from compote?

Do you want to impress the woman you love and cook something for her that she will definitely like? A win-win option is original women's cocktails.

The ability to combine several ingredients in various variations gives room for the most daring experiments. In addition, from a large number of cocktail recipes for women, you can choose any - from the simplest to the most complex, which requires almost jewelry skill from the bartender.

How to make cocktails

Cocktails can be prepared in many ways:

  1. Build (in a glass).
  2. Stir (in a mixing glass).
  3. Shake (in a shaker).
  4. Blend (in a blender).

How to arrange a cocktail?

For the design of cocktails, you can use a variety of products: fruits, berries, citrus zest, ground nuts, sugar sprinkles, cocoa powder, coffee, cinnamon, food coloring.

If the cocktail contains fruit juices, you can decorate the drink with pieces of such fruits. For example, a cocktail, which includes pineapple juice, with a slice and leaves of pineapple, a drink to which lemon juice is added, with a slice or lemon zest, rolled up in a spiral.

Slices of citrus fruits or berries (cherries, sweet cherries) are hung on the edge of the glass.

You can decorate the edges of the glass with "sugar frost". How to cook it? Dip the rim of the glass into a cup of orange or lemon juice (another option is to rub the rim with a piece of orange or lemon) and then into a cup of sugar or powdered sugar. You can use not only citrus fruits, but also berries, such as strawberries. You can add coconut flakes with cocoa powder, coffee, add a little cinnamon or some food coloring to the sugar.

Another option is to decorate the edge of the glass with a small “umbrella”, “fan” or other unusual decorations.

Cocktails with colored ice look very impressive. To prepare it, mix water with fruit syrup and freeze. You can put berries or bright fruits cut into small pieces into such a mixture before freezing.

Non-alcoholic cocktails for women

In women's cocktails, bright and subtle shades of taste, color and aroma of various fruits are harmoniously combined. Refreshing, bright, savory non-alcoholic cocktails will add a special flavor to your meeting. And you can prepare women's cocktails literally in a matter of minutes, the main thing is to have the right ingredients on hand.

Many ladies like exotic drinks such as kiwi kiwi cocktail with kiwi, bitter lemon tonic, raspberry and lemon syrup, Cocktail "Cabriolet" with blue curacao syrup, grapefruit juice, lemon syrup and tonic, Mint pineapple cocktail with pineapple juice, tonic and mint syrup, Cocktail Du Force with pineapple and lemon juice and coconut syrup, cocktail "Magic of the Tropics" with peach, grapefruit, banana juices, tonic and grenadine, Caribbean fruit cocktail from oranges, pineapples, bananas with coconut.

You can choose a less exotic option - Autumn cocktail with red currant juice, lemon juice, honey and lemons, raspberry cocktail with tea, raspberry, mint, lemon and brown sugar, coffee cocktail with coffee, milk, pineapple juice and sugar.

And you can cook friezes (from the word "effervescent", "sparkling"), in which carbonated water is added: Tea frieze with mint, Tea frieze with currant.

I do not and never have considered alcohol as male territory. Perhaps, since childhood, it seemed to me that women know how to manage alcohol better and more elegantly than men, whose main preferences could be described as “vodka” and “drooling”, and in the circle of my acquaintances I never met drunken women, so I am subjective.

Among the favorites in terms of alcoholic drinks are wine and whiskey, which can be explored endlessly and talked about for hours. I don’t understand shots at all, that is, this effect of timpani on the brain without any prelude. I love the first because when I pour myself a glass of wine in the evening, my favorite time of day begins. Life slows down again, enters a controlled channel and belongs only to you. Whiskey is more of a seasonal drink for me, I don't buy it at home, but I prefer to end the evening with it, sitting at the bar, before going out into the cold. Or when someone treats you knowing you'll appreciate it. When I was married and often visited Scotland, my ex-husband's homeland, whiskey was a ritual. Everyone went to bed early, and two owls remained in the living room - me and the Scottish father-in-law - with single malt whiskey in their hands and endless conversations. We both cherished those moments. Although I can’t drink bourbon and tennessee without cola and I’m not a big fan of them.

I have never encountered "female" alcohol. Maybe because I'm about the size of a rather tall man and don't look like someone in need of indulgence. It seems to me that the very concept of "women's alcohol" is associated solely with an undeveloped taste (yes, women historically drank less than men) and has already stuck like a cliché. This is similar to the taste preferences of children. First they like sweet things (“Pina Colada”, for example), then salty things (“Margarita”), and then they begin to appreciate sour things (“Whiskey Sour”) and bitter things (“Negroni”, “Martini”) - not a gender story at all. I knew men who, if they ever allowed themselves to drink, it was, for example, sweet liquor - the same undeveloped taste.

The condemnation of women who drink alcohol seems to me akin to the condemnation of women who are interested in sex, that is, this is a picture of the world where a woman should play a purely passive role. I would like to think that in the Western world it is a thing of the past. In modern culture, the relationship of girls with alcohol, in my opinion, is exactly the same as that of boys. Among my friends there are sommeliers, and among my friends there are teetotalers, and no one is trying to look for a gender connection in this. Only here the cult of the body and the obsession with health, perhaps in general, affects society's relationship with alcohol. It's cool and good, though not very sexy. I am for balance.

world cocktail

Cosmopolitan is a drink for real fashionistas. This truth the world comprehended with the light hand of Hollywood. How to make the famous cocktail at home? Its main ingredient is Cointreau liqueur. Although it will be quite successfully replaced by Triple Sec or any other orange liqueur. Before cooking, we cool all the ingredients in advance, and fill the cocktail glass to the top with crushed ice. Next, alternately pour 50 ml of vodka, 25 ml of liquor, 50 ml of cranberry and 25 ml of lemon juice into the shaker, then whisk the mixture vigorously. Pour the ice out of the glass, fill it with a cocktail and decorate with a slice of lime or lemon.

tropical paradise

Delicate sweet "Pina Colada" is a constant favorite of alcoholic cocktails for girls. Make it at home and have an impromptu bachelorette party. Pour a handful of ice cubes into a blender, pour in 50 ml of light rum, 100 ml of pineapple juice and 50 ml of Malibu coconut liqueur. You can also add a sliced ​​banana if you like. Then the cocktail will turn out to be thicker and more saturated. Whisk all the ingredients until a homogeneous mixture is obtained and pour it into a pre-chilled cocktail glass. Before serving, decorate it with orange slices, pineapple and strawberries or cream.

Azure dreams

Do you dream of the gentle rustle of the sea surf and the velvety sandy coast? The Blue Lagoon cocktail will help you transport yourself into a tropical fairy tale. Let's start with lemonade. Cut the peel from 3 lemons, add 150 g of sugar to it, pour 800 ml of boiling water and let it cool. Add the juice of squeezed lemons, leave it in the refrigerator for an hour, and then carefully filter. If there is no time, lemonade can be replaced with a mixture of 30 ml of lemon juice and 120 ml of quality soda. Fill a tall glass to the brim with ice cubes. Next, pour 45 ml of vodka, 20 ml of Blue Curacao liqueur and 150 ml of ready-made lemonade into it.

strawberry caresses

Another cocktail lady's hit is the famous "Margarita". The combination of stunning tequila and refreshing citruses is really sweet to a woman's heart. In addition, making such a cocktail at home is quite simple. We wash 30 g of fresh strawberries under cold water, rid them of the stalks and put them in a blender bowl. Add to the berries 50 ml of tequila, 20 ml of Cointreau liqueur, 30 ml of lime or lemon juice and 2-3 tbsp. l. crushed ice. Blend all ingredients until you get a smooth drink. Before serving, we moisten the edges of the glasses and dip them in powdered sugar, after which we fill it with a chilled cocktail.

chocolate perfection

Chocolate is perhaps the most seductive delicacy that almost no woman can resist. Therefore, recipes for sweet alcoholic cocktails with his participation are especially tasty. Melt in a water bath 50 g of dark chocolate with a mass fraction of cocoa beans of at least 75%. Add 40 ml of dark rum to it and cool slightly. We put 2-3 thin rings of hot red pepper on the bottom of the glass, flavor them with 3-4 drops of lime juice and carefully break 2 quail eggs on top. Carefully, without stirring, fill them with chocolate-rum mixture. It is recommended to serve such a cocktail with a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.

The magic of aromas

Among alcoholic drinks, many ladies unconditionally prefer the classic Martini or vermouth. Its sweet, tart taste and sophisticated grassy aroma are perfect for creating a wide variety of cocktail fantasies. If you splash a little sparkling champagne with a martini, you get a particularly harmonious union. So, we combine in a shaker 50 ml of Martini Bianco, 60 ml of orange and pomegranate juice, 70 ml of cranberry juice and 100 ml of champagne. Fill the glasses a third with ice cubes and pour in the finished cocktail. Garnish with lemon wedges before serving.

fruity sunset

Another child of the hot tropics is the Daiquiri cocktail, named after the beach of the same name near Santiago. The composition of the classic recipe includes only white rum, lime and ice. However, today in many bars you can find banana, strawberry and coffee variations. This "Daiquiri" and earned a place of honor among the recipes for light alcoholic cocktails. We offer you another interesting improvisation. Put in a blender bowl 3-5 tbsp. l. crushed ice, add 60 ml of white rum, 15 ml of passion fruit syrup, 30 ml of lime juice and beat all the ingredients, then pour the cocktail into chilled glasses.

We hope you will like our cocktails and decorate the festive evening on March 8th. And what delicious alcoholic cocktails for girls do you prefer? Share your favorite recipes in the comments.

Girls drink cocktails because cocktails are beautiful, there is almost no alcohol in them, and they are served in elegant glasses that do not look like nightmarish beer mugs. We have selected 8 of the most fashionable and most spring cocktails.


French Kiss Honey Cosmo Emporio Champagne

1. French kiss
(strawberry, bourbon, grenadine, lemon juice, coconut syrup)
A cocktail with a strawberry-cream flavor inspires both provocative dances and romantic hookah gatherings.

2. Honey Cosmo
(honey, rum, tea, nutmeg, cinnamon, orange, lemon, apple)
A hot and fragrant cocktail in the March slush is especially indicated for girls who wrap themselves in a scarf from head to toe all winter and still catch a cold. While Honey Cosmo has nothing to do with the Cosmopolitan, the Sex and the City girlfriends' favorite cocktail, it is just as much the perfect drink for a bachelorette party. A ridiculous dose of alcohol, skillfully disguised with tea and ennobled with fruit, will not hurt to discuss pressing problems, brag about a new boyfriend or, at worst, an awesome blouse.

3. Emporio Champagne
(Galliano, prosecco, grappa, lemon juice, lemon marmalade)
A cocktail for sophisticated fashionistas who go to shows and shopping in Milan and wear now what everyone will be wearing in six months. Renowned bartender Alexander Kan took the once trendy Cosmopolitan cocktail, replaced the cranberry flavor with lemon, and vodka with grappa, added Italian sparkling and a stylish lemon twist knot, and got a mix ahead of fashion. Having played enough in the spring with catchy colors and exotic combinations, in the fall we all want the same minimalism - both light and intellectual.

4. Ruby
(pomegranate berries, champagne, grenadine, ice)
The pomegranate looks unobtrusive, but inside it hides surprises and treasures - just like connoisseurs of the Ruby cocktail. Speaking of such pseudo-shy people, they usually remember the “quiet pool”. "Ruby", made from fresh pomegranate berries and champagne, may also seem modest and restrained, but in fact it turns out to be exquisite and dizzying. This cocktail is also suitable for girls who are on a diet: there are few calories in pomegranate berries, but there is more than enough energy. A charge of vivacity will come in handy on the dance floor - and the next day it will be possible to oversleep a workout in a fitness club with a clear conscience.

5. Sweet Poison
(gin, vodka, tequila, triple sec, Malibu coconut rum, champagne, cherry syrup)
This explosive mixture can lead to overly playful and uninhibited behavior. A heavy dose of alcohol is flavored with cherry syrup and served with plenty of ice to cool off the adventurer's ardor. Compared to most "lady's" drinks, "Sweet Poison" is unusually strong, therefore it is recommended for girls who are emotional and not afraid of change.

6. Golden Cuba
(pineapple, orange and lemon juices, Cointreau liqueur, Bacardi Superior white rum, passion fruit syrup)
Sipping this soft tropical cocktail, you imagine yourself in a sun lounger on the ocean. A mix of freshly squeezed juices, orange liqueur and rum with creamy notes from nowhere, like melting ice cream, gives a sweet feeling of freedom. Tried once - and consider that you are in slavery to this memorable range. After the second portion, you want to dance samba with a sultry Latino, after the third - wave to the airport and buy a one-way ticket to Cuba.

7. Sweetie
(peach, banana, strawberry liqueur, Veda vodka, whipped cream, chocolate chips)
It is with this cocktail that a girlfriend should be brought to life after the next man of her dreams turned out to be another “March cat”. As a decoration - a hefty portion of whipped cream with chocolate chips. If the situation requires drastic measures, you can force your friend to drink a cocktail in layers: drink vodka with liqueurs and have a snack with cream. An option for a long soul-saving conversation in the genre of “all men are bastards”: stir before drinking so that the vodka is distributed evenly throughout the cocktail. A contrasting mixture of strong alcohol and cream, plus a horse dose of sweets, can overcome any blues. And as for calories ... There are problems and more important than diets!

8. Lychee Royal
(champagne, lychee berries, lychee puree and liqueur)
Lychee is called both “Chinese cherry” and “paradise grape”, although this overseas fruit has nothing in common with either one or the other. Lychee cocktails are loved by young progressive ladies who are avid for the exotic and trying to grab all the fashion trends on the fly. And the soft twilight of Vision literally provokes experiments with new tastes. In "Lychee Royal" one feels some painfully familiar and unbearably pleasant notes. Trying to understand what exactly this taste is like, you resolutely ask to repeat - again and again. And suddenly, when it already seems that the experiment is on the verge of failure, an insight comes: maybe on canned apples from compote?

I do not and never have considered alcohol as male territory. Perhaps, since childhood, it seemed to me that women know how to manage alcohol better and more elegantly than men, whose main preferences could be described as “vodka” and “drooling”, and in the circle of my acquaintances I never met drunken women, so I am subjective.

Among the favorites in terms of alcoholic drinks are wine and whiskey, which can be explored endlessly and talked about for hours. I don’t understand shots at all, that is, this effect of timpani on the brain without any prelude. I love the first because when I pour myself a glass of wine in the evening, my favorite time of day begins. Life slows down again, enters a controlled channel and belongs only to you. Whiskey is more of a seasonal drink for me, I don't buy it at home, but I prefer to end the evening with it, sitting at the bar, before going out into the cold. Or when someone treats you knowing you'll appreciate it. When I was married and often visited Scotland, my ex-husband's homeland, whiskey was a ritual. Everyone went to bed early, and two owls remained in the living room - me and the Scottish father-in-law - with single malt whiskey in their hands and endless conversations. We both cherished those moments. Although I can’t drink bourbon and tennessee without cola and I’m not a big fan of them.

I have never encountered "female" alcohol. Maybe because I'm about the size of a rather tall man and don't look like someone in need of indulgence. It seems to me that the very concept of "women's alcohol" is associated solely with an undeveloped taste (yes, women historically drank less than men) and has already stuck like a cliché. This is similar to the taste preferences of children. First they like sweet things (“Pina Colada”, for example), then salty things (“Margarita”), and then they begin to appreciate sour things (“Whiskey Sour”) and bitter things (“Negroni”, “Martini”) - not a gender story at all. I knew men who, if they ever allowed themselves to drink, it was, for example, sweet liquor - the same undeveloped taste.

The condemnation of women who drink alcohol seems to me akin to the condemnation of women who are interested in sex, that is, this is a picture of the world where a woman should play a purely passive role. I would like to think that in the Western world it is a thing of the past. In modern culture, the relationship of girls with alcohol, in my opinion, is exactly the same as that of boys. Among my friends there are sommeliers, and among my friends there are teetotalers, and no one is trying to look for a gender connection in this. Only here the cult of the body and the obsession with health, perhaps in general, affects society's relationship with alcohol. It's cool and good, though not very sexy. I am for balance.

We spent several days in a row in bars, never (!) ordering anything human there. First, we found out which of the five known cocktails is the worst, and then which is even worse.

Composition light rum - 100 ml
coconut milk - 3 tbsp. spoons
mashed pineapple - 3 tbsp. spoons
a couple cups of crushed ice

Lovers of serials, workers of accounting departments, commercial departments of small firms and other romantic natures.

“This sludge is like tea with milk, but instead of tea - drying oil,” one of our designers admitted. And the second one made it clear that he would rather stop drinking altogether than touch this abomination.

We got tired of waiting, but the cocktail didn't work. “You can’t get Thumbelina drunk with this thing,” one of the bar regulars (probably a storyteller) remarked wittily. - You need to drink about eight of them, but they are very sweet. You can get diabetes."

Not the slightest. By the way, Pina Colada is full of vitamin C, so you can drink it with breakfast.

Lots of fruit, few degrees and lots and lots of wasted money.

Composition Rum Bacardi light 25 ml
Blue Curacao liqueur - 25 ml
coconut milk - 25 ml
pineapple juice - 50 ml

Mix all this in a blender with ice, pour into martini glasses, throwing a cherry to the bottom and hanging a slice of orange on the edge.

Intelligent women in something skin-tight, capable of rocking all night, and less intelligent women in the same clothes, but in leatherette.

Everyone was arguing again. The editor of the fashion department said that denatured alcohol, of course, is a good thing, just don't spoil it with a cherry. The rest decided that it was some kind of shampoo, and quietly poured it into the purse of the nearest young lady.

In order for this to triple in basins, you need to put three glasses next to each other and look at them for a long time. Our driver managed to swallow nine, but then a label from Curacao with the word Blue caught his eye, and he disappeared into the toilet without a trace. We then returned by taxi.

Missing. The next day, all the subjects worked hard for eight hours, although colleagues complained that they smelled strongly of Hawaii.

Even the fact that no one died does not inspire you to drink a liquid similar to antifreeze.

Ingredients Rum Bacardi - 50 ml
lemon juice - 25 ml
strawberry liqueur - 25 ml
fresh strawberries - 3-4 pcs.

You can hang one of the strawberries on the edge of the glass, just don't hit it with your nose when you drink the third glass and so on.

High school students and students of humanitarian universities who have problems in their personal lives.

Strongly resembles a car air freshener (smell and color are the same). But by a majority of votes, we unanimously decided that it's fun to get drunk on a club freshener.

Half of the editorial staff got so excited that they were ready to love everything that moves. the second half gathered on this occasion to fill the face of the first. Spectators preferred to run away without waiting for the denouement.

It was terrible. For all. The alcohol was still raging in their heads, and the unmistakable smell of rotting strawberries lingered in the bedrooms. Someone made an attempt to go to work, but his head was firmly stuck to the pillow.

Yes, this cocktail is clearly suitable for a fun evening. And it doesn't matter that our whole team was going to hang themselves in the morning - these are our problems. Drink with pleasure!

Composition of Cointreau - 30 ml
Lemon Absolut - 100 ml
cranberry juice 100 ml
lime juice - 30 ml

Shake with ice and pour into martini glasses with a lemon wedge.

Girls who pretend to read ELLE every day, although their tastes do not rise above Your Day.

Yes, it's a regular pink martini! Although the color of the liquid threw even the editor-in-chief into some confusion. "It's not that it tastes very bad…" he articulated, "I just feel like I'm getting ready for a sex change operation." “And it’s very sour! - added his deputy. “The more you drink, the more thirsty you are.”

We didn't get to discuss it in detail because after 4-5 drinks everyone had speech problems.

Whatever they say about cocktails, this one will knock you off your feet faster than Floyd Mayweather - Dima Bilan. Several portions completely knocked out the entire refereeing team and two independent observers. By the evening of the next day, our appearance did not inspire confidence even in ourselves.

Of course, this is by no means an “every day” drink. But it's fine for a real date. No, no, we do not in any way encourage you to take possession of drunken women! We just want everyone to be happy.

Composition of grapes, naturally!

Our girlfriends, wives, mothers and grandmothers.

We honestly tried to realize that we were drinking a very rare and expensive drink. But it still tasted like heavily diluted vinegar.

Uzha-a-a-a-a-asno I want to sleep. Drink another glass and you will feel as energized as a miniature pinscher who has been drugged with elephant tranquilizers.

This seemingly harmless drink can bring down an entire football team - if you accidentally drink a few cases. One of our breathalyzers admitted that he never thought that lifting his eyelids would hurt so much.

It is best to drink really expensive champagne. And preferably from a hollow on the female back.
