Idea of this post is exploring of some cocktails named with female russian names. I found five cocktails of this kind. Taste of some female russian names. Some of this cocktails are pure and famous classiс - Ninotchka Cocktail. The Annouchka Cocktail is a signature drink of Salvatore Calabrese. This post I devoted all my female friends :)

First cocktail is famous Ninotchka Cocktail which named in honour of Gretta Garbo in “Ninotchka” movie (1939).

Ninotchka (Nintchka, Ninitchka)

45 ml vodka
15 ml light creme de cacao
15 ml fresh lemon juice
Shake. Cocktail glass.

The taste of Ninotchka Cocktail is very interesting and unusual. The combination of smooth sour taste of lemon and sweet chokolate taste of creme de cacao is great!

Recipe of Katinka Cocktail I found in The Classic Bar & Cocktail Book by J. Goodall. This is simple and interesting cocktail.

Katinka

50 ml vodka
40 ml apricot brandy
15 ml fresh lime juice
Shake. Cocktail glass. Garnish with fresh mint.

Sweet no so strong cocktail with bright apricot taste and little sourness. Admirable!

My favorite CocktailDB list another and very intriguing recipe of Katinka Cocktail: gin, cordial Medoc, green Chartreuse and Angostura bitters. Sounds great! Worth to try.

Recipe of Natasha Cocktail was founded in The Bible of bartender by F. Evsevsky.

Natasha

30 ml vodka
15 ml Cointreau
15 ml creme de banane
15 ml strawberry liqueur
Shake. Cocktail glass.

The Natasha Cocktail has very sweet candy taste. It is amazing temptation.

Annouchka Cocktail was invented by Salvatore Calabrese. It is one of his signature cocktail. It is veru simple and delicious combination of vodka and sweet bleckberry liqueur.

Anouchka

70 ml vodka
10 ml creme de mur (blackberry liqueur)
Stir. Chilled cocktail glass.

This cocktail has strong and sweet berry taste. Admirable!

Recipe of Svetlana Cocktail was found on my favorite Cocktail DB.

Svetlana

45 ml 100 proof vodka
15 ml sweet vermouth
8 ml kirsch
8 ml orange juice
Shake. Cocktail glass. Garnish with orange peel.

This strong and elegant cocktail has comlex taste of vermouth and fruit with amazing bitter note in the aftertaste.

This cocktail was created in 30s of XIX century probably in the one bar with same name in New York by unknown barman. A combination of rum, lime juice and white creme de cacao sounds so intriguing for me.

Ace of Clubs

60 ml golden rum
15 ml white creme de cacao
15 ml fresh lime juice
1 bsp. simple syrup
Shake and strain into chilled cocktail glass.

I use my new rum - Ron Varadero Oro 5 Anos (Cuba) - for this cocktail. Results are excellent. The Ace of Clubs Cocktail has rich, aromatic rum taste with unusual sweet aftertaste. Few drops of Angostura bitters on the top works well and must.

Actually German Chocolate Cake Cocktail is really liquid cake :) It is ideal after square dinner.

German Chocolate Cake

30 ml Malibu
30 ml creme de cacao white
10 ml Frangelico
1 splash half-and-half
Shake and strain over ice in an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with four squirts of canned whipped cream (about 3/4 inches high) at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock positions.

It is so good and no so fat as cocktails with Irish creams :)
