Do You have interesting cocktail recipes?
That's the purpose of this thread.....or maybe some obscure beer or wine or liqueur that You'd like to suggest (and a description would be great!)..... In other words, this isn't a thread for how you got your drunk on. I'll begin..... I went to Spec's the other day (a really lovely liquore store which has wines/beer/liquors and everything to go with ~ i.e. cigars, glassware, cheeses, et al) and there was a rep there from Treaty Oak Rum (Treaty Oak is a landmark here in Austin). She made an incredible drink with JALAPENOS! I was there! And I don't care for rum AT ALL. This rum is very light and smooth.....not too sweet at all! So she wrote the recipe down for me and here it is: JalaTini In a shaker add: 1 oz. fresh lime juice 1 oz. Agave Nectar-Light Add ice & shake well. Add 1 sliced jalapeno 2 oz Treaty Oak Rum 2-4 oz Club Soda Shake whatcher mama gave ya. Pour into a martini glass and enjoy! It's a nice, slow burn! YUM! |

Great idea for a thread. We will have to get my favorite bartender, Mel, in here.
I'm a fan of Lemon Drops and they are super easy to make even if you don't have the mixer. 1/2 oz vodka 1/2 oz lemon juice 1 sugar cube Add sugar to the rim of an old-fashioned glass, and drop a cube or packet of sugar into the bottom of the glass. Pour vodka and lemon juice into a stainless steel shaker over ice, and shake until completely cold. Pour into the prepared old-fashioned glass, and serve. |
Thirsty Thursday Drink

Russian Punch
Hey Diva and all, I recently started reading up on some older or vintage cocktails. I made this one over the weekend. It's not overly sweet but you can up the sugar if you'd like. This was invented at the Russian Tea Room in NYC in the 1930's for the Russian ballerinas that frequented the bar. It's pretty nice on a hot summer night (or hot spring night if you live in the desert).
http://www.mydailyfind.com/wp-conten...ngPunch270.jpg How to make: 2 oz Vodka (I used Ketel One but apretty prefers the pricey Chopin) 1/2 oz Crème De Cassis 1/2 oz Full Bodied Jamamacan Rum 1/2 to 2 Teaspoons Super Fine Sugar 1/2 oz Fresh Squeeed Lemon Juice Combine the sugar and the lemon juice in a cocktail shaker and shake until sugar is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and ice. Shake up and pour into a sugar rimmed glass with more ice. I garnished mine with a large spiral of orange peel. Drink and enjoy! Cheers! |
Damiana Margarita
Guaycura Liqueur de Damiana is a light herbal based liqueur from Mexico. It is made from the wild herb damiana (Turnera diffusa) which is native to Mexico and Central America. Damiana is a small shrub with smooth, pale green oval leaves and aromatic yellow flowers. This herb is long thought to have aphrodisiac properties and according to ancient legend Guaycura Indians drank Damiana Liqueur in their centuries old ceremonies. Though sceptics may dismiss this as myth, there are respected botanists that say damiana "stimulates the genito-urinary tract and is actually used in the treatment of sexual problems such as impotence, frigidity, sterility, and sexual exhaustion." The glass bottle is shaped in the likeness of a pregnant woman and said to be modeled after the Incan God of Fertility. This liqueur is commonly used in place of Triple Sec to make the "Baja Margarita," served in resort areas all over the Mexican peninsula. Original Margarita Recipe: 1 oz. Damiana Liqueur 1 1/4 oz. White Tequila 2 oz. Margarita Mix Shake or blend with ice. Damiana has great mixability and tastes great as a shooter |
Cranberry Lime Martini
A citrusy variation that showcases the flavor synergies between lime and gin. Ingredients Per Cocktail 2 parts gin 2 parts freshly squeezed lime juice 2 parts cranberry juice Lime wedge(s) for garnish Preparation Stir ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge. |
Pashi! That's so funny that you mention Damiana. It is one of my all-time favorite liquers. I generally have a bottle in the freezer.
Here's a drink that I made up while sitting around a campfire at a pagan festival in Colorado. We were literally passing bottles around. I had a sip of Hot Damn Schnapps and then a sip of Damiana. The combination was WOW. So I said something and others tried it. We came up with this. Hot Damn Mama 1/2 oz Damiana 1/2 oz Hot Damn Schnapps (or other cinnamon-flavored schnapps) Mix and drink. An alternative to this that Mel aka BlistexLez came up with is this. Damn, Hot Sexy Mama 1/2 oz Damiana 1/2 oz Hot Damn Schnapps (or other cinnamon-flavored schnapps) Sour Mixer Ice Shake all ingredients and pour over ice. I made up the name for the 2nd one just now because I couldn't remember what we called it. It was part of a Sunday morning at a SoCal house party. We may have been drinking before then. heh:chef: |

Golden Dream
In a blender place:
3 ice cubes 4 shots Vodka (I don't measure, so this is an estimate) fill blender to 2/3 with orange juice splash of Galliano (tip the bottle once, quickly) 1 TBLSP powdered sugar A swirl of heavy cream blend until ice cubes dissolved. add a sprig of mint to the glass for eye candy. Ok, it's not exact, but it works, believe me. It tastes a little like an Orange Julius, but you'll be dreaming if you drink it like one! |
It's not alcoholic but it's good!
Arnie Palmer 1/2 iced tea 1/2 lemonade I first ran into this in Denver but I'm not sure where it originated. :hangloose: |

Cuban Mojito recipe
the original authentic recipe from Havana Cuba 1 teaspoon powdered sugar Juice from 1 lime (2 ounces) 4 mint leaves 1 sprig of mint white Rum (2 ounces) 2 ounces club soda |
Rhubarb Martini for me. Made the usual way except use the juice of stewed rhubarb - with no/little sugar in the stewing process to ensure that lovely tartness - instead of lime. Sans salt. Delish

Yesterday I found this awesome article on summer cocktails in the NY Times. There are a few I want to try.
Enjoy! http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...f=summerdrinks http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6Ubni5q7...mlet_close.jpg |
I was looking for a thread to share some craft beer suggestions and interesting drinks. I bartended at one point in my many careers. I miss it. I was a hoping we could resurrect this thread and maybe share and even trade craft beers.
Anyone interested? |
Don't know much about "craft" beers. But I do know this: anyone who makes beer with "fruity" flavours should be shot. You want "fruit", drink wine.

I seem to remember a beer thread, and a few members here used to post in it, quite a bit. It was OkieBug's beer thread, I think: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...ead.php?t=5166 Quote:
When I was younger, I always looked forward to having a beer on a really hot summer day. I'm not much of a beer drinker, so we're talking maybe one or two beers during any given hot summer. *lol* I had a beer once, that is a favorite out on the East coast... I forget the name of it, but it's a Lemon Shandy, I think. Pretty nice to have on a hot summer evening. :) I hope OkieBug's beer thread is the beer thread you were thinking of. If not, you should start a new forum thread and if you do? Tell us a tiny bit about your past bartending career and the types of drinks that were most requested or even a favorite drink you thought was pretty special. Cheers, K. :hk22: |
