Foo - Cocktails

What's your favorite cocktail, and more importantly, how do you make it?

Scotch, single malt, over ice.

Jim Beam, just open the bottle.

Come on, guys... I need recipe ideas... I'm not drunk enough yet...

Ok. I have a shot idea then... One ounce cranberry juice, on ounce chilled vanilla vodka, separate shot glasses, down the juice then chase with the vodka. It tastes just like strawberry cheescake.

Anything with tequila.

Although Limon & Seven used to be my signature drink. ;)

It tastes just like strawberry cheescake.

allright fscker, hand in your man-card, NOW... jesus...

The manliest drink alive is not good enough so I went with the... ummm... least manliest. <In best goldmember accent> There is no pleasing you is there?

EDIT: BTW, my wife canceled my man card membership years ago.

Jim Beam, just open the bottle.

...sounds tasty, but too many indgredients and too many steps. Must be one of those fancy-schmancy bartender concoctions.

Can someone please tell me how to make a Widow's Kiss?

I had one in 1982 and it was really great.

Here is a really good margarita recipe:

1 part Grand Marnier or Triple Sec
1 part fresh strained lime juice
1 part simple syrup*

Put in cocktail shaker with ice and shake about 30 seconds until really cold. Strain into glass.

* Simple syrup: mix equal parts of sugar and water in a small sauce pan. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature.

Talk about a girlie drink!

Not quite the same as jack with a beer chaser

That's probably why it's called a Widow's Kiss, and not a, Widower's Kiss.

Something I've been experimenting with - working title is Ginger Head. May be changed to Ginger Beard or Gale Force.

2 shots of Old Monk rum (Gosslings may work too in a pinch)
Teaspoon of brown sugar
Half teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice (cin, nutmeg, ginger, etc...)
Fresh ginger root
Gingerale
Lime juice

Throw the ginger in a food processor with enough water to cover it - puree it as much as possible. Take 3-4 tablespoons of the liquid portion and throw it in a shaker with the brown sugar, rum, teaspoon or squirt of lime juice, and pumpkin spice. Shake well with ice, pour in glass, pour in the gingerale on top and gently stir. It'll frost up with a thick head.

...sounds tasty, but too many indgredients and too many steps. Must be one of those fancy-schmancy bartender concoctions. I'm a bit of a dandy;)

Anything with tequila.Tequila poured over a bowl of Cheerios?

Tequila poured into a popsicle tray, then drank really cold since tequila won't freeze in a regular freezer?

Here is a really good margarita recipe:

2 parts tequila (good stuff)
1 part Grand Marnier or Triple Sec
1 part fresh strained lime juice
1 part simple syrup*

Put in cocktail shaker with ice and shake about 30 seconds until really cold. Strain into glass.

* Simple syrup: mix equal parts of sugar and water in a small sauce pan. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature.

Use 100% Resposado tequila like Hornitos, and if you can find some key lime juice it's perfect.

I'd one fancy drink on a beach resort called 'sex on the beach' and loved it. i just don't know how it is mixed.:(

Scotch, single malt, over ice.

agreed, and depending on the scotch, a splash of water may be added.

I love golden margarita's. And I made a good one when I bartended.

Dirty vodka martini

Fill martini glass with crushed ice and water to chill

Fill shaker with crushed ice and Monopolowa vodka.

Shake gently

Empty martini glass

Add a dash of vermouth to glass and swirl, then pour out.

Pour vodka into martini glass

Add a splash of olive juice.

Garnish with two olives on a cocktail stirrer. Preferably olives stuffed with pearl onion, almonds, or garlic.

Drink.

Vodka tonic with lime. Crisp, clean, refreshing, no after taste, not too un-manly.

I'll usually use a tall glass (those POM tea glasses are perfect)filled about 2/3 with cubed ice (crushed melts too fast), with 2 or 3 shots of chilled vodka, top the rest off with the tonic, add a slice or 2 of lime.

Even BETTER. Squeeze some lemon and lime juice. Freeze it into cubes. Add those to the glass instead of water ice cubes. When you add the vodka first, give it a minute to let it melt some of the fruity ice. Then add the tonic.

Make it festive with a neon-colored bendy straw. Those are the best.

gonna have to give this a try this weekend. i :love: margarita's. :D

The use of really good tequila in a margarita is a waste to me. The other flavors completely overpower the tequila, which is just there primarily to add it's alcohol content to the mix.

Really good tequila should be sipped.

ummm, i just dont do straight tequila...really messes me up. :D

I concur, though I do enjoy shots of Patron silver. yum. Not much of a sipper.

The margarita tastes best with Grand Marnier as opposed to Triple Sec.
