Peaks’ cocktails & mocktails
Yummy and yet simple to make mixed drinks for all occasions. Celebrate with friends and family, the unique taste of cocktails and mocktails, over long conversations, some laughter and lots of memories on a leisurely Sunday afternoon or a cool weekend evening.
Finger foods & snacks
Mouth-watering and finger-licking snacks from Peaks’ home-kitchen, using local ingredients, mixed with lots of love, marinated in anticipation and cooked with simmering passion….. There’s nothing like sipping a glass of exotic cocktail with a perfectly matched snack.
A Round of Golf
“Some people are so busy, they don’t have time for Golf even!” …says a famous golfing quote. How true!! The love of Golf would take you places, keep you healthy, retain your youth and nurture your passion for life. There’s but one life…. The Golfing one!
Live life in style
Somewhere amidst the flood of readymade drinks available on the super-market shelves and in the sea of packaged, ready-to-eat food in the refrigerator, we are losing the fine art of serving our guests hand-made drinks, snacks and food. Like, when was the last time you hosted a house-party and made some cocktails and mocktails for guests?
Taking the easy route of, “what will you have, some tea, coffee, or some soft drinks….” or just serving up some scotch Whiskey-on-the-rocks or maybe a chilled Beer-in-pint to friends is not good enough. I find great joy in coming up with a new cocktail or mocktail every time I entertain guests at home.
It’s a myth that most mixed drinks need some or the other exotic, hard-to-find ingredient. I make any number of mixed drinks that are yummy and fun to drink, and yet, very simple to make. Most of the ingredients are generally available in our kitchen, and some others can be found in the neighbourhood supermarket. Of course, living in a metropolitan city, does help!
There’s nothing like a leisurely Sunday afternoon or a lively evening with an exotic drink in hand, some mouthwatering finger-food to go with, while having a good time with friends and family. So, here I present some very nice, yummy and simple drinks you can shake-up next time some guests arrive, invited or unannounced!!
Peaks’ Cocktails & Mocktails
Fire & Ice
It is a refreshing ‘hot & sweet’ Vodka based cocktail, ideal to serve on a warm summer afternoon or a leisurely evening. Khus syrup and split green chilies are the key ingredients. It’s a nice drink for ladies too, and can be made without the Vodka. Fresh mint...
Sunrise
A riot of flavours, Sunrise is rich in taste and suitable for lively occasions where everything is in excess, when ‘indulgence’ is the buzzword, the mood is upbeat and snacks are aplenty. Grape and Grenadine complement each other perfectly. Tangy undertone of this...
Summer Sixer
A wonder of the Tropical islands. A beach drink, to be savoured lazing under a palm tree on a warm summer afternoon. A drink to sip for a long time. This Gin based cocktail is sweet and sour at the same time. Coconut water adds a special twist to it. Chew the coconut...
Home cooked finger foods
Golf
This is the game to cherish, game to relish, and game to perish! Perish, because Golf is a great leveler. The monumental failures in a round of golf humble you, the remarkable and occasional successes give you a temporary sense of euphoria that you know very well is transient and make you a great human being. You learn to take-it-in-stride…. The best of rounds is followed by the worst one, and vice-a-versa!
“No matter how bad you play today, it’s always possible to get worse”
“Give me some Golf Clubs, Fresh Air and a beautiful partner; and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air”
“Golf is a perfect antidote to the feelings of euphoria I occasionally get on my successes”
“If it goes right, it’s a slice. If it goes left, it’s a hook. If it goes straight, it’s a miracle”
“Golfers get confused with all the numbers. They shoot a six, write five and yell fore”
