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.

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.

Arwen 05-19-2010 10:43 AM

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:

I think I like this! Though I would have to trade the gin out for vodka.......but YUM! Cranberries are my friends! :)



Diva 05-19-2010 11:32 AM

Oiler makes this interesting concoction of Gin and Red Bull......

I'm a fan of neither of these alone, but together and I became a fan! I'm not sure what the measurements are ......I'll see if I can get Him in here to describe.....

It's a tasty thing!



SuperFemme 05-19-2010 11:55 AM

Dear God is it five o'clock yet?

Dante 05-19-2010 11:55 AM

I am really not a fan of champagne, but, My Dad turned Me on to:

Champagne cocktail....
Place a sugar cube in a glass, fill it with champagne, add a few drops of angostura bitters.
that is all
It really tastes better with those 2 extra ingredients.

MMMM These sound really good Arwen! I have been playing with the notion of Aphrodisiac liquors as a side line business. :floatbee: Did you note any um extra effects from the Damiana liquor???? I have only recently heard of it. Do you like the taste?

i drink a variation of the lemon drop - the Strawberry Lemon Drop...substitute Strawberry Stolichnaya for regular vodka and enjoy! (and it tastes yummy off the lips of someone who just drank it!) :lips:
