Shrimp Cocktail With Whiskey Mayonnaise image

This is really a basic shrimp cocktail recipe with whiskey added to perk it up. Some people use sherry instead, or if you prefer, add no alcohol at all, just a dash of worcestershire sauce.

Categories     European

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons tomato ketchup
2 tablespoons whiskey
4 tablespoons plain yogurt
mixed salad green, for 4 people
8 ounces jumbo shrimp, cooked and peeled
salt and black pepper
10 basil leaves, shredded, to garnish

Steps:

  • Place the mayonnaise, ketchup, whiskey and yogurt into a bowl and whisk well together. Season to taste.
  • Plae the salad leaves on individual plates or in one serving bowl.
  • Pile the shrimp in the centre and drizzle with the dressing.
  • Garnish with basil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right whiskey: For a balanced and flavorful cocktail, use a good quality whiskey that has a smooth taste and a slightly sweet finish. Avoid using whiskeys that are too smoky or peaty, as these flavors can overpower the other ingredients in the cocktail.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cocktail the best possible flavor. This means using fresh fruit juices, herbs, and syrups. Avoid using store-bought mixes, as these can be overly sweet and artificial.
  • Pay attention to the proportions: The proportions of the ingredients in a cocktail are important for achieving the right balance of flavors. Be sure to measure your ingredients carefully and follow the recipe closely. If you're new to making cocktails, it's a good idea to start with a simple recipe and then experiment with different variations once you get the hang of it.
  • Garnish your cocktails: Garnishing your cocktails is a great way to add a touch of elegance and sophistication. Simple garnishes like a lemon twist, an orange peel, or a sprig of mint can make a big difference in the overall presentation of your cocktail.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious and impressive whiskey cocktails at home. Experiment with different recipes and find the ones that you enjoy the most. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process of making and drinking cocktails.
