A little while back, on a lark, I signed up for a Bartending course at the local Community College. What a Fabulous Excuse to sample Thousands of different drinks! Heck, I could spend every night at the bar and never have the same Drink Twice! Here are some of my Favorite recipes.....
Midori Sour... mix one Part Midori (a very tasty Melon Liquer) with two parts sour mix.... shake over Ice, Strain into an Ice filled Glass, garnish with a stemmed cherry. Tastes like a liquid Sweet-Tart, roughly the Color of Anti-freeze!
Toasted Almond... Mix 1.5oz Coffee liquer, 1oz Amerreto(the almond) and 1.5oz Milk or half and half... Shake, strain, serve over Ice. I like mine Garnished with a cherry... Of course, I like Cherries.
Kamikaze... Mix one part Lime juice, one part Triple Sec, and one part Vodka, Shake with Ice, serve straight up in a shot glass!
Donna's Cold Killer... In a large drinking glass, fill 2/3 with cranberry-whatever juice. Heat in the microwave until it's as hot as you can drink it top off with tequila. Drink it down, lay on the couch bundled in the warmest blanket you can find and sweat. When you stop sweating, mix another drink. Apply, lather, rinse, repeat.
And the Drink I Created.... Mike's Minty Mud! Two Parts Irish Creme Liquer, One Part Clear Creme de Menthe, and two Parts Premixed Chocolate Milk.... Shake with Ice, strain over fresh cubes or shaved ice, serve with a CHERRY!
Enjoy! And remember... You know you have a real problem when the local
Barkeep Says "Geez, man! We shouldn't have let you drive home last
Night! You were really Polluted!
Want yer usual?"
