Ideas to Impress!

Mother’s Day – a day to show appreciation and love, and thank mothers (and mother figures) for all they do. One of the great ways to celebrate is by creating a delicious cocktail… or two! With some of the best tips and suggestions, Wild Knight Distillery is here to help you craft your very own beautiful cocktails.

Getting Creative…

Homemade cocktails are the perfect canvas for creativity, offering endless possibilities to experiment with unique ingredients, flavours, and presentations. There’s no limit to what you can do to add a personal touch to your cocktail creations, especially for Mother’s Day.

While a cocktail shaker can be useful, it’s not absolutely essential. If you need to shake the drink, a Mason jar or blender bottle is just as good at mixing up ingredients as a Boston cocktail shaker. With a little creativity and just a handful of ingredients, you can craft an impressive drink without one.

Experimenting with different flavours and ingredients

You can try adding fresh fruits, herbs, or spices to create a unique and personalised drink. Mix and match classic cocktail ingredients such as vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and liqueurs to craft the perfect taste.

When making your desired cocktail, don’t overlook the details. For example, the ratio of ingredients, the type of glass used and the garnish are all important for a well-crafted cocktail. These can all affect the overall taste and presentation of the drink. By taking your time and being patient, you’ll be sure to impress with your mixology skills. So, shake things up and you might just discover your new signature cocktail…

To help you get started, here are two easy-to-make cocktails:
