Strawberry Fizz

Ingredients:
2.5 Shots Russian Standard Vodka
0.5 Shot De Kuyper Wild Strawberry
Lemonade

Directions:
Half fill highball glass with ice. Pour in the De Kuyper Wild Strawberry and Russian Standard Vodka and top up with lemonade. Stir gently.

Garnish with a slice of lime or lemon.

Screwdriver

Description:
Quite simply, vodka and orange juice.

The boyfriend and I agree that a cocktail must have a name that does not indicate its ingredients to creat some sort of mystique. Hence, I will not call my drink Rhum and Coke - I'll call it Cuba Libre.

Still, I always hear people (gay men, really) saying "Vodka-orange" in bars. I find that totally depressing.

Ingredients:
5.0 cl Vodka
10.0 cl Orange Juice

Directions:
Pour all ingredients directly into highball glass filled with ice. Stir gently. Garnish with orange slice.

Replacing the flat orange juice with a carbonated orange drink, such as Fanta (or in my case, Royal), produces a cocktail known as a Hi-Fi.

A screwdriver in which Tang is substituted for the orange juice is known as a Fuzzy Cosmonaut.

White Russian

Description:
Because I like my drinks sweet and toxic. Maybe I could create a lighter version of the White Russian; I'll call it Russian Twink.

IBA classifies White Russian as an After Dinner cocktail.

Ingredients:
5.0 cl (5 parts) Vodka
2.0 cl (2 parts) Coffee liqueur (usually Kahlua)
3.0 cl (3 parts) Fresh cream

Directions:
Pour coffee liqueur and vodka directly into old fashioned glass filled with ice. Float fresh cream on the top and stir in slowly.

*Usually a maraschino cherry is added as garnish. Actually, I like this drink partly because of the cherry.
