Cocktail Recipies
« on: July 28, 2008, 11:29:35 AM »

I used to bartend for a living years ago and I don't anymore, but I still like mixing drinks and I often do so at home.

I thought it'd be cool if we had a thread made up of nothing but interesting and tasty drink recipes.

I'll start this off with one I posted already today.  I don't have a name for it though.  Any suggestions?

Demo's "Fruity With A Kick" cocktail, a.k.a., "The Xolik"

Ingredients
1 part vodka
1 part Maker's Mark
1 part TripleSec
3 parts pineapple juice
1 orange slice, quartered

Pour the liquor and the pineapple juice into a shaker with some ice.  Shake thoroughly.  Pour into a tall glass over ice and the orange pieces.

Enjoy!



EDIT to add the name ;)

Sounds fruity with a kick.  You could call it a xolik

Just to keep this thread alive somewhat

This summer I started drinking Dark and Stormy
Pretty refreshing stuff, I usually add a lime wedge.

Also found Cold River Vodka which is fantastic stuff, lime wedge and a couple of ice cubes and you're fine

Other than that I've been drinking mostly wine this year.  Just came back from a wine festival in the New York finger lakes region with 9 cases from various wineries.

1 Handle Everclear
2 Containers Powdered Kool-Aid (Grape)
8 Cans Red Bull (or other energy drink)

Mix in cooler with water to taste.  Great for parties if you're in college and a cheapskate like me.  Not highbrow or classy by any means.

Demo's Quick-And-Dirty Whiskey Sour

Ingredients
2 shots Maker's Mark
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
6 ounces Minute Maid Limeade

Mix ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake well (or else the powdered sugar won't dissolve right).  Pour over ice.

At the local Stop and Shop they've been selling this stuff Simply Limeade and Simply Lemonade.  I've found they make great mixers because they aren't too sweet.  The normal whiskey sour or margarita mixers are way too sweet for me.

I agree, which is why I never use them.  I buy cans of Minute Maid frozen limeade and usually have a pitcher of it mixed up on-hand in the fridge.  The above recipe also works well substituting rum for the whiskey.


EDIT:

Since I'm posting, I might as well type up another recipe I've been using occasionally of late.

Demo's Purple Cosmo

Ingredients
2 shots of quality vodka (I like Grey Goose or Chopin's for something like this)
1 shot Blue Curacao
1.5 ounces Cran-Apple juice
dash of lime juice
dash of Grenadine

Very carefully pour the dash of Grenadine into the bottom of a martini glass so it pools cleanly in the apex.  Pour the other ingredients into a shaker and shake.  Pour carefully into the martini glass, taking care not to mix up the Grenadine.  Garnish with a quarter of an orange slice on the rim of the glass if desired.  If you have the proportions right, it'll be a nice purple color with a little pool of red (from the Grenadine) at the bottom.

Well these are a couple of drink recipies for somewhat large quantities of people. Not really cocktails but I fear I wouldn't live up to my new avatar if I didn't post in this thread.

Apple Pie
2 gallons apple juice
1/2 pint Hot Damn! or like
1/2 pint E&J
1/2 pint Everclear

Don't let the Everclear deter you, this stuff is great. It can be served like a shot because it does the trick but doesn't have to be.

Summer Brew
Litre of vodka
1 case (30) beers (Doesn't really matter what. If it comes in 30, you can use it)
4 frozen concentrate limonade mixes.

Grab a cooler, put some ice in it, add ingredients.

Yeah. I'm in college.

That whiskey sour is made of win.

One of my favorites to make was the layered mudslide in a cordial glass.

A variation of that was The Duck Fart
1/3 kahlua
1/3 baileys
1/3 crown royal

layer in a cordial and drink it down.

Fairly well-known but great nontheless.

Irish Car Bomb
Glass of Guiness full enough to drop a shot glass into
1/2 shot Irish creme
1/2 shot Irish whiskey or other whiskey

Mix the Irish creme and whiskey in one shot glass. Drop the shot into the Guiness and drink. Some people just use the creme but, ya know.

Made this one last night as an experiment.

Demo's Pear Cosmo

Ingredients
2 shots of quality vodka (I used 42 Below Vodka from New Zealand)
1.5 ounces Cran-Apple juice
dash of lime juice
0.5 ounces pear liqueur (I used Mathilde)

Chill a standard martini glass in the freezer for at least 30 minutes prior to mixing this drink.  Once the glass is chilled, pour the half-shot of pear liqueur into the glass and swirl it around, coating the interior of the glass evenly (since the glass should be ice-cold, the pear liqueur should get kind of syrupy and adhere to it nicely).

Mix the vodka, Cran-Apple juice and lime juice in a shaker with some ice.  Pour carefully into the prepped martini glass.  Garnish with a lemon slice.

Famous Cocktail recipies~

     =) Hairy Navel
          ~1/4 Peach Scnappes
          ~1/4 Lemonade or Orange Juice
          ~1/2 Vodka or Lemonade (lemonade changes the name to Fuzzy Navel though)

Stirred for as long as it takes for someone to run there finger down from your head to your navel... Very sexy drink, tastes like crap though. Ice and fruity pieces. Prince Charming drinks one on Shrek 3.

     =) Rusty Nail
          ~1/3 Irish Cream
          ~1/3 Scotch
          ~1/3 Drambuie

Difficult to make, if you wanna be fancy you put the irish cream on the top with a lil' swirl, it looks nice but if your planning on just getting hammered, don't bother. Again stir it. Very sweet with Drambuie and served with ice. Desperate Housewives drink this crap but don't let that stop you, it at least SOUNDS manly...

     =) Grasshopper
           ~1/4 Mint Cream
           ~1/4 Vanilla Cream
           ~1/2 Vodka

Fancy green drink that people usually drink after dinner. Vodka brings out this really wierd taste in the Vanilla, something you don't dislike or like until your completely smashed. Thats just my opinion. I don't use ice, but people tend to add an apple slice into it... Grasshoppers are usually referred to in Kung Fu movies. Who knew they were talking about getting drunk?

had a Coconut Cloud Martini on Maui, it was very nice.

Involves Cream of Coconut, White Rum, Malibu Coconut Rum and Stoli Vanilla vodka.  I tried making it at home using 2 parts white rum, 2 parts malibu to 1 part vodka, 1 part cream of coconut ratio.  Came out pretty good.

I got one!

Flaming Dr. Pepper:

1 full beer of the light variety poured into a tall cup
1 shot Disaronno topped with a small amount of Bacardi 151

Light the Disaronna / 151 shot and drop into the beer. Chug, and it resembles a Dr. Peppery taste.

A Margarita is Tequilla with lime juice and Triple Sec (or similar orange liqueur, like Grand Marnier).

A classic ratio is 2-1-1: 2 parts Tequilla, 1 part lime juice, 1 part Triple Sec.

Mix ingredients in a glass (or other vessel) with ice. Wet the rim of an empty glass with lime juice, then upend the glass in a dish of sea salt, to salt the rim. Pour the cocktail in carefully, add ice if wanted.

The ratio can -- and should -- be monkeyed with to achieve the one perfect combination that resonates deeply within your soul.

Usually, I use 2-2-1: 2 parts Tequilla, 2 parts line juice, 1 part sweet orange liqueur.

Sometimes the lime is very limey, so I add some simple syrup (about .25 part).

Or you can buy Margarita mix... but why?

To clarify, the above was posted in response to this question I saw dangling in the Shout Box:

[Today at 04:46:53 PM] Probie: How do you make a margarita

Probie, if you meant the pizza rather than the cocktail, then you'll need to swap out some ingredients.
