The London 2012 Olympic Games is around the corner. If you can be in the city in person, where can you spend your time? Instead of lounging at home in front of the TV, how about an Olympic cocktail or two? People love cocktails, not just because of the mixology skills of bartenders, but also because they prove to be a wonderful blend of sights, scents, and tastes. Every good bartender has his go-to cocktails. With the Olympic Games becoming an ever grander affair, bartenders will not miss the occasion of bringing the five rings together in a cocktail shaker. Feast for the sensesThese rings of five different and vivid colors are the element that is the easiest to bring to life in a cocktail glass. Our first idea could be a set of five cocktails, each one representing each ring. Respectively, you would have blue for Europe, red for America, yellow for Asia, black for Africa and green for Oceania. There are many ways to get these colors separately.

It then blended champagne for a final touch, making the taste smoother and more even. The body of the cocktail is fairy green, wherein small five colored rings are dipped in the martini.
