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

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

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

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!

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.
