Frosted Bad Santa White Cocktail, festive Christmas or New Year background.<br /> Homemade cinnamon vanilla simple syrup, mixed with vodka and Kahlúa, plus my seasonal twist… A shot of espresso and a sweet chocolate ribbon – adding just the right amount espresso kick and holiday sweetness.
Glass of many cherry or merry berries with lemonade water splash, fly berries and ice, pouring lemonade from bottle to glass surround of fresh cherry or merry berries. Dark rustic wooden surface
This stunning Kumquat and Thyme Cocktail is simple, unfussy, and elegant. Kumquats and thyme get muddled together with a dash of honey then shaken with vodka and ice until chilled. A splash of ginger beer adds effervescence, sweetness and slight spice to create a dimensional and crowd-pleasing citrus vodka cocktail.
Cocktail Negroni on a old wooden board. Drink with gin, campari martini rosso and orange, an italian cocktail, an aperitif, first mixed in Firenze, Italy, in 1919, alcoholic bitter cocktail
Marinated Feta Cheese is a simple to prepare appetiser that is packed full of delicious flavours. Garlic, rosemary, lemon and a little chilli combine with the Feta Cheese and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which works perfectly with slices of crusty bread
Smoked Daiquiri. Adding smoke to this classic cocktail adds depth of flavor that complements the rum and citrus juice. An opportunity to try a new taste of a classic drink.
Apple honey cider cocktail.<br /> Easy breezy and ready for fall, this cocktail offers a twist on a recent summer classic. It's perfect for Halloween night, fall dinner parties, or any occasion of the season.
Red Wine Poached Pears are a classic French dessert<br /> It’s such a simple dessert, yet delightfully flavorful and very elegant and impressive. They have a great balance of sweet, spice and fruity flavors, and the deep red color turns this into a beautiful centerpiece dessert too.
Simple butter rolls and eggs dyed with onions - a simple festive Easter food. The table combines church symbols of Easter (bread and wine) and symbols of spring rebirth in pre-Christian times — colored eggs.

Photographing drinks is not as easy as it looks. It requires skill and technique. But however long and difficult the process is, it is the kind of photographs I enjoy taking the most.
Photographing cocktails is always a lot of fun. It's like a game where you try to make more beautiful smoke or splashes, you can really do it for a long time and not get tired.
