Hi Trilochan,

Try the flick. This is the most attacking stroke for a short serve.  The corkscrew serve doesn't have much speed on it so you need to create your own speed with the flick.

If it's long you should be able to loop it or drive it depending on whether it has underspin or topspin on it respectively.
