Building а drink is thе simplеst wаy tо crеаtе а cоcktаil. It is mеthоd usеd tо crеаtе mixеd drinks (drinks thаt rеquirе just а spirit аnd mixеr) аnd is аlsо usеd fоr cоcktаils with ingrеdiеnts thаt mix еаsily. Tо build а drink yоu simply fill а glаss with icе, pоur in thе ingrеdiеnts (mаking surе tо lеаvе а ‘windоw’ аt thе tоp оf thе glаss tо prеvеnt yоur guеsts frоm spilling thеir drink) аnd stir. Gаrnish, аdd а strаw аnd sеrvе.
Blеnd
Thе mоst cоmmоn drinks mаdе with а blеndеr аrе frоzеn drinks such аs thе frоzеn mаrgаritа оr dаiquiri. Tо mаkе а blеndеd drink, put аll thе ingrеdiеnts in а blеndеr, аdd crushеd icе аnd blеnd until thе dеsirеd cоnsistеncy is аchiеvеd. Thеn pоur intо а prеpаrеd glаss, mоst frоzеn drinks аrе sеrvеd in а cоupеttе (mаrgаritа) glаss. Blеnding prоducеs а vеry cоld drink with а thick smооth, cоnsistеnt tеxturе аnd prоvidеs а lаrgе аmоunt оf wаtеr dilutiоn, mоrе thаn аny оthеr prеpаrаtiоn tеchniquе.

Margarita recipe with cactus pear juice and orange liqueur.
When I saw this one, I couldn't believe my eyes! Cactus pear?! What is that?! Where can I find it? Seems, this one is quite exotic - real Mexican taste :) Finally, I got this juice from the Internet, so here is the recipe itself.
Cactus Pear Margarita Recipe
• 1 1/2 ounce of silver tequila
• 1 ounce of cactus pear juice
• 1 ounce of orange liqueur
• 2 ounces of fresh lime juice
Mix the ingredients using blender until it is something you cannot identify anymore :) It will be red, by the way. Then rim the glass with a bit of that cactus pear juice (quite nice, by the way) and then with a salt. Lime wedge can add a nice look, but it is optional (unless you've put too much of tequila and will have to urgently chase it with something :)

Italian margarita recipe with amaretto almond liqueur and gold tequila. Special Mediterranian touch..
Italian food is awesome. And seems like these guys wanted to improve even our famous tequila cocktail. You will need almond amaretto for this one.
Italian Margarita Recipe
• 1 ounce of gold tequila
• 2 ounces of sweet and sour mix
• 1 ounce of amaretto almond liqueur
• 1/2 ounces of triple sec
Blend everything with ice. Be careful with liqueur as it is quite sweet. If added too much, can make margarita taste like a jam :) Rim the glass with the lime juice and a bit of salt if you wish.

Spicy margarita recipe excites your taste. Chili pepper, Cointreau and, of course, tequila.
Pick the chili pepper of your joice, but try not to choose the hotest one (except if you are the real fan of Mexico and Thai food). Cointreau liqueur makes the basic taste here.
Spicy Margarita Recipe
• 1 1/2 ounce of gold tequila
• 1/2 ounce of Cointreau
• 3 ounces of sour mix
• 1 ounce of fresh lime juice
• 1 chili pepper
Cut peper, rim the glass and throw it down there. Mix tequila, Cointreau, sour mix, lime juice and ice, shake well, pour into the glass, where you pepper waits for you. The more you wait, the hotter your margarita is.

I am a big fan of mint flavour, so when I saw this cool mint margarita recipe I could not resist. Gold tequila with Cointreau and Creme de Menthe.
You will need two liqueurs for this one - Cointreau and Creme de Menthe (or alternative). Some prefer without Cointreau as it has a bit different taste, than needed for the mint flavour :)
Cool Mint Margarita Recipe
• 1 1/2 ounce of gold tequila
• 1/2 ounce of Cointreau
• 1/2 ounce of Creme de Menthe (or try a bit more)
• 3 ounces of sour mix
• 1/4 ounce of mint syrup (if you think that liqueur is not enough)
Shake with ice, pour into salted glass (some prefer to rim with sugar, though). Add mint leaves on top and lime is a must as this is tequila :) And today's special - add A BIT of peper on top. Mint flavour + spicy touch will create a perfect combination.

Cranberry juice, triple sec and sweet sour mix. Gold tequila is the main idgredient and couple of limes of course as well..
Cranberry is quite widespread in the northern countries, but "a bit" hard to find in southern. No problems, there are different juices and cranberry juice is among them. Just make sure to choose the one with the highest fruit percentage as usually these cranberry "juices" are quite full of water as they are more drinks than juices.
Cranberry Margarita Recipe
• 1 1/2 ounces of white tequila
• 1 1/2 ounces of sweet and sour mix of your choice
• 1 1/2 ounces of triple sec of your choice
• 2 ounces of cranberry juice of your choice
• juice of 1 fresh lime
Now this one is really fantastic - soooo tasty! As usual - mix everything with ice (lime juice an be added just at the end), pour into cocktail glass and rim it with salt. If you have real cranberries, put them on top to decorate our cocktail.
Enjoy!
