Apple Martini (aka Appletini) Vodka and either apple juice, apple cider or apple liqueur. Typically, the apple vodka is shaken or stirred with a sweet and sour mix and then strained into a Martini glass. May be garnished with a slice of Granny Smith apple.

Apple Pie Shooter 2 oz (6nbsp;cl) apple juice, 1 oz (3 cl) vodka, whipped cream in a can, and cinnamon sugar in a salt or pepper shaker. Two people are required. The designated drinker sits in a chair with head back and mouth open. The second person pours the apple juice and then the vodka into the mouth. In order for the full taste of the drink to come out, the drinker must keep his or her throat closed, this also prevents choking. The second person then adds a good size shot of whipped cream and a light sprinkling of the cinnamon sugar. The drinker then sits up, swishes to mix the ingredients, swallows. There can be different recipes for this shot; some do 1 part vodka, 1 part apple juice; others do 2:1 parts, it all depends on how strong the shot is wanted.

Apricot Pie 0.5 oz (1.5 cl) light rum, 0.5 oz (1.5 cl) sweet vermouth, 4 dashes each of apricot brandy and lemon juice, 2 dashes of grenadine. Shake mixture with ice and strain into a glass.

B [ edit ]

B-50 Series The B-50 series of shots are variations on the B-52 shot that have warranted their own name. They are typically composed of Kahlúa, Baileys Irish Cream, and a third liqueur.

B-52 A B-52 cocktail B-52 is a layered shot served in a pousse-cafe glass. Variations include using half measures in a shot glass, using teaspoons of grand marnier to fill a double shot glass. Alternatively, in a rocks glass, stir and strain into ice-filled glass. Kahlua may be replaced with another coffee liqueur, Baileys with another Irish Cream and Grand Marnier with another Curaçao. See also: Wikipedia; Cross, Robert (1996,2003). the classic 1000 cocktail recipes. Foulsham. ISBN 0-572-02852-0.

B and B 1 measure (30 mL) brandy, 1 measure (30 mL) Benedictine. Float the Brandy on top of the Benedictine.

Baby Guinness Tia Maria, topped up with Baileys. The Baileys should be poured into the Tia Maria using the back of a spoon, this slows down the pouring of the Baileys and should allow the Baileys to sit on top of the Tia Maria to look like a baby pint of Guinness. The glass used to drink this should be a small whiskey glass or a shot/shooter glass. It is very sweet to taste which is why it is very popular among young adults.

Bailey's Comet ½ shot (15 mL) of Baileys Irish Cream, ½ shot (15 mL) of Goldschlager (although any thin flammable cinnamon except Hot Damn will do), splash of flammable alcohol (Bacardi 151 works well), pinch of cinnamon. Fill shot glass half way with Baileys Irish Cream. Layer on top half shot of Goldschlager. Add splash of flammable alcohol. Dim the lights, and ignite. Sprinkling cinnamon into the flame will cause sparks to appear in an otherwise dim blue flame.

Banana Banshee 2 oz (60 mL) cream, 1 oz (30 mL) banana liqueur and 1 oz (30 mL) cacao liqueur (white). Pour into an ice filled shaker. Shake and pour into a cocktail glass. Add a garnish of nutmeg powder. The drink is reputed to have been invented by Nick Castrogiovanni of Nick's Big Train Bar in New Orleans.

Banana Daiquiri 2 measures (60 mL) light rum, 1 measure banana liqueur (Pisang Ambon), 1 measure (30 mL) lime juice, half a banana, crushed ice. Mix the rum, banana liqueur, lime juice, the banana and the ice in a blender. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Bandera 1 shot (30 mL) of silver tequila, 1 shot (30 mL) of sangrita, 1 shot (30 mL) of lemon juice, salt on a small dish. There is no method to mix this drink. You should drink, one at a time, the shot of tequila, sangrita and lemon juice. Salt is used for lowering the 'boom' of the tequila. Named after the Mexican flag.

Bandito 1 part Kahlúa, 3 parts ginger ale, ice. Pour Kahlúa into glass with ice. Top off with ginger ale. Tastes sweet.

Bastille Bomb 1 part blue curaçao, 1 part Cointreau, 1 part grenadine. The Bastille Bomb is a layered shot. First add the grenadine (the most dense of the liquids), then the curaçao, then the Cointreau (the least dense).

Beautiful 1 oz Hennessy® cognac, 1 oz Grand Marnier® orange liqueur. Pour each ingredient into a brandy snifter and serve.

Bellbird 1 oz (30 mL) light rum, 1 oz (30 mL) gold rum, ½ oz (15 mL) Razzmatazz (crème de cassis and chambord are acceptable substitutions), ¾ fill with cranberry juice, ¼ fill with pineapple juice. Build drink in an iced hurricane glass, roll into shaker for a few shakes, pour back into glass, garnish with a squeeze of lime and serve.

Bellini 2 oz (60 mL) white peach purée, 5 oz (150 mL) prosecco sparkling wine. Pour peach purée then prosecco into a mixing glass filled with ice. Gently roll the shaker end over end to mix the ingredients. Do not shake as shaking will make the prosecco flat and could cause the mixing glass to explode. Strain into a champagne glass and serve. Bartender Giusepi Cipriani invented this cocktail at Harry's Bar, Venice in 1948. The drink was named after the 15th century Italian painter, Giovanni Bellini. It is reported that the pink glow of one of Bellini's painting is the inspiration to this cocktail. Originally this cocktail would only be made for four months of the year when the white peaches were in season. This was the case until Giusepi's son Arrigo began using a flash frozen peach purée. With the opening of Harry's Bar in New York City, the Bellini has been embraced throughout the western hemisphere.

Between The Sheets ½ oz (15 mL) brandy, ½ oz (15 mL) rum, ½ oz (15 mL) triple sec, 1 oz (30 mL) lemon juice.

Strain into cocktail glass.

Black Russian 2 parts vodka, 1 part kahlua, 1 part Coke (optional). Mix ingredients, stir and add ice.

Black and Tan Stout beer (such as Guinness) and another, lighter beer (such as an ale or lager). A common technique is to fill the glass half full of the light beer, and then carefully pour the dark beer in, over an upside-down spoon, so that the two don't mix.

Black Velvet 6 oz (180 mL) cold Guinness, 6 oz (180 mL) cold dry champagne or other dry sparkling wine. A black velvet is made by filling a tall flute glass halfway full of chilled stout and floating the sparkling wine on top of the stout, with the differing densities of the liquids allowing them to remain largely in separate layers (as in a pousse-café). The effect is best achieved if it is poured over a spoon turned upside down over the top of the glass so that the liquid runs gently down the sides rather than splashing into the lower layer and mixing with it. A "champagne in mourning" mixture created in 1861 to commemorate German-born Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's consort, who died of typhoid fever at age 42. Black Velvet is also known as Bismark and Champagne Velvet. According to Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, the black velvet was the favorite drink of Otto von Bismarck, who supposedly drank it by the gallon. In Germany, the cocktail often goes by his name. A common variation is the poor man's black velvet, prepared with a cider or perry bottom layer.

Blacksmith 1 part brandy, 1 part drambuie, 1 part Kahlúa

Shake vodka and rum with crushed ice poured into the glass. Add lemonade, then pour blue curacao down the inside of the glass for effect. Many bars will use one shot (30 mL) of blue curaçao, throw in some lemon bar mix, and call it a Blue Lagoon. Supposedly created in the 1960's by Andy MacElhone (son of Harry, of Harry's Bar in Paris ).

Blue Blazer 1 part boiling water, 1 part whisky, 1 tsp (5 mL) powdered sugar or honey, lemon peel garnish (optional). The whisky, ignited, is poured from one mug into the mug of boiling water, back and forth until the blue flame goes out (4-6 times). It is then poured into the serving mug or Irish Coffee mug containing the honey or sugar and lemon peel. It was created by Jerry Thomas, a bartender and author, while working at the El Dorado in San Francisco. Reportedly while making the drink, US President Ulysses S Grant was so impressed that he gave Thomas a cigar. Thomas would only make the drink if the outside temperature was 10 °C or below or if the person ordering the drink had a cold or the flu, whose symptoms the drink was to alleviate. [1]

Blue Whale 1 part frozen lemonade, one part blue curaçao, two parts vodka. Pour frozen lemonade into a pitcher. Add curacao and vodka. Celebrated for its potency and its festive, aqua-blue colour.

Brandy Punch 1.5 oz (45 mL) brandy or cognac, 0.5 oz (15 mL) cointreau, 2 dashes angustura bitters.

Brass Monkey Equal parts vodka, rum and orange juice. It is thus essentially a screwdriver with rum added. Pulp-free orange juice is usually desirable for reasons of palatability, though freshly squeezed juice may also yield a good brass monkey. Dark rum is also preferable, since it is the mixing of the brown rum with the orange juice that produces the distinct brass-like coloration for which this drink is named. Much of this drink's notoriety comes from the Beastie Boys' song: "Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice. Come on y'all it's time to get nice". An alternative cocktail, often attributed to the Beastie Boys track, is essentially a variation on a mimosa. It consists of three parts malt liquor and one part Sunny Delight. Typically Olde English 800 or St Ides is used, and always in the forty-ounce bottle. The first quarter to third of the bottle is consumed, and then topped off with Sunny D, capped, inverted, and guzzled.

Brave Bull 1½ oz (45 mL) tequila, ½ oz (15 mL) Kahlúa. Build over ice in a rocks glass. [2]

Bronx Cocktail 1 oz (30 mL) vermouth, 1 oz (30 mL) gin, juice of ¼ orange, 1 slice orange. Shake all ingredients (except orange slice) with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Add the orange slice and serve. For a dry Bronx cocktail, use dry vermouth; for a Bronx golden cocktail, use half dry and half sweet, and add an egg yolk. The Bronx was supposedly invented by Johnnie Solon of the Waldorf-Astoria bar in Manhattan.

Buck's Fizz Orange juice, chilled Brut champagne, dash of grenadine. Fill a champagne glass ⅓ full of orange juice. Top with champagne and a dash of grenadine. The drink is named after London's Buck's Club where it was first served in 1921. The Buck's Fizz is the English version of the French mimosa and predates the mimosa by 3 years. Both drinks are usually served at breakfast or brunch. Although the recipe given here, with grenadine, may be the original usage, most British people will understand 'Buck's Fizz' to refer to a mixture of orange juice and champagne; i.e. it is the usual British term for what Americans would call a 'Mimosa'. Sometimes, where real Champagne is not available or cannot be afforded, a white wine is used in its place.

Bullfrog 12 shots vodka, 1 qt lemonade. Shake well in a closed container, pour into an open container and stir well.

Caffè Corretto (Espresso Corretto) 1 part grappa (or brandy), 2 parts espresso. A shot of espresso coffee "corrected" with a shot, usually grappa or brandy. It is widely consumed in Italy and usually taken after lunch or dinner

Caipirinha One lime (tip: get rid of white centre), 1-2 tsp (5-10 mL) sugar (to taste), cachaça (to fill glass containing lime, sugar, and ice). Cut the lime in four pieces and crush with sugar using a wooden pestle in a whiskey tumbler or similar glass. Add cachaça, stir, and finally add crushed or grained ice, or ice in cubes. The finer the ice, the faster it cools, but also dilutes the mixture. The amount of cachaça can vary from one to two doses, depending on the size of the glass. Although not an original procedure, water may be added to dilute, but it is normally not necessary as the ice will melt. Shake vigorously. Caipirinha is a traditional Brazilian drink. If you don't have cachaça on hand, replace with a good quality clear rum (in this case, the drink is called a "caipiríssima"), or vodka can also be used ("caipiroska"). In Europe, it is fashionable to use brown sugar instead of white, giving the drink a mossy colour and an earthy, warmer feel to it. Some bartenders use simple syrup in order to minimise the mixing needed and crunchiness of sugar crystals. Some people also replace the ice cubes with chopped ice, but this causes it to melt more quickly, watering down the drink. Some health-conscious Brazilians will drink it with a sugar substitute such as aspartame. A "caipifruta" is prepared in the same way, replacing or complementing the lime with any other fruit (always fresh, never juices). Popular fruits include passion fruit, kiwi, lemon, pineapple and strawberry. A caipirinha should be drunk quickly, as the essential oils of the lime peel, set free while pounding the lime halves, will give an unpleasant, bitter taste

Caipiroska See for Caipirinha. Cachaça is substituted by vodka.

Caipirísima See for Caipirinha. Cachaça is substituted by rum.

Careless Memory 1 part whisky, 1 part Bacardi, 1 part dark rum, 1 part Malibu poured over ice and mixed with Coca-Cola. If the Coca-Cola is flat (as is preferable for this particular drink) the mixture is shaken before serving. The sweetness of the rums and cola combine with the coconut of the Malibu to mask the drink's true alcoholic content. Drinking two is recommended only for those with strong stomachs or a strong desire for amnesia. It is named after a song by pop group Duran Duran and has been likened to Douglas Adams's fictional drink called the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

Caribbean Sling 1 part Gin, 1 part Rum, dash of Cointreau or Triple Sec, big squeeze of lime, big squeeze of lemon. Pour over ice in a high ball glass. Top off with club soda and garnish with marachino cherry. Created by David Ruisard in Houston in 2006. Very light but still fairly complex. Great for hot summer days. A big improvement over the syrup induced Singapore Sling.

Carlo Sud ½ oz Benedictine, 2 oz amber rum, 1 to 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Combine all ingredients in a shaker half-filled with ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass. Run lemon twist around rim and drop into drink.

Cast Iron Chowder Place a rusty nail in a double shot glass of cheap Vodka (Kamchatka or Taaka is ideal). Remove the nail and add the Vodka to a cup of orange soda (e.g. Fanta or Sunkist)and garnish with a lime wedge. Reputed to be a favorite drink of Mick Jagger.

Cement Mixer 1 oz (30 mL) Baileys, 1 oz (30 mL) lime juice. Fill a shot glass 2/3 full with Baileys, and gently float the lime juice on top. Taken correctly, the Cement mixer provides an interesting texture in one's mouth. However, in a short time the creme solidifies, care must be taken to consume a Cement mixer before this happens as the solidified version is not very palatable.

Champagne Blues Champagne, blue curaçao, lemon peel. Pre-chill champagne and curaçao. Pour champagne into a chilled glass. Add curaçao to taste. Twist lemon peel over drink and drop into glass.

Cheeky Vimto Cherry Dr. Pepper ½ oz. Captain Morgan Run, ½ oz. Cherry Schnapps (Mc.Guillicutty's is best), 1 oz. Captain Morgan TATTOO & a splash of Cola. Can be made into a full size drink. Tastes just like Cherry Dr. Pepper when you add the Cola.

Cosmonaut 2 parts Tang® powdered soft drink, 1 part vodka, 3 crushed ice cubes. Mix really well and serve.[5]

Cosmopolitan 1½ parts vodka, 1 part triple sec, 1 part cranberry juice, dash of lime. Shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. The Cosmopolitan was first created by Cheryl Cook in South Beach, Miami in either 1985 or 1986. Toby Cecchini is credited with changing the rose's lime cordial to fresh lime juice and standardising the triple sec as Cointreau. Common recipes include: (1) (Dale DeGroff) 1½ oz (45 mL) citron vodka, ½ oz (15 mL) Cointreau, ¼ oz (7 mL) fresh lime juice, 1 oz (30 mL) cranberry juice. Shake all ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange peel. (2) (Gary Regan) 1½ oz (45 mL) citrus vodka, 1 oz (30 mL) triple sec, ½ oz (15 mL) fresh lime juice, 1 or 2 dashes cranberry juice, for colour. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge. (3) (Voted Best Cosmopolitan in London, England by Time Out) 35 mL cytrynowa (Polish lemon vodka), 15 mL triple sec, 5 mL Rose's Lime Cordial, 5 mL fresh lime juice, 20 mL cranberry juice, 2 dashes Hoppes Orange Bitters.

Cuba Libre 90 mL (3 oz) Coca-Cola, 30 mL (1 oz) rum, 60 mL (2 oz) gin (optional), 2 dashes bitters (optional), lime wedge. Rub the rim of a highball glass with the lime. Fill the glass with ice. Add rum. Fill with Coca-Cola. Drop in the lime squeeze. Jones' Bar Guide omits the gin and bitters, but they are said by some to greatly improve the quality of the drink. The Cuba Libre ("Freedom for Cuba") was invented in Havana, Cuba around 1900. Patriots aiding Cuba during the Spanish-American War and, later, expatriates avoiding Prohibition, regularly mixed rum and Coca-Cola as a cocktail and a toast to this West Indies island. See also: Wikipedia.

Cucaracha 1 part Kahlúa, 1 part tequila. Pour the Kahlúa, then slowly pour in the tequila so that two distinct layers are form. Some mixing in the middle is fine (and even desirable) but at the top it should be all tequila. Light the tequila with a lighter, and allow the blue flame to burn. It helps to use the lighter on the side of the glass too, to warm up all of the liquid. Works best in a tall shot glass. When the flame starts to taper off (or when you can't hold yourself back any longer, or when you think it's good and hot) suck up all of it through a straw as quickly as possible.

Daiquiri This refers to a family of cocktails. Daiquirí Natural is the basic mix, that serves as the starting point to the more complex cocktails of the family: 1.3 oz (40 mL) light-dry rum, 0.7 oz (20 mL) lime juice, 1 teaspoon (5 mL) sugar, crushed ice. Mix the ingredients in a shaker and serve. Daiquiri Floridita is the most common and famous version of this cocktail, allegedly it was invented by Constantino Ribalaigua Vert, barman and owner of the Floridita in the 1950s, whom Ernest Hemingway nicknamed El grande Constante. This recipe is also known as Daiquirí Frappé: 1.5 oz (45 mL) light-dry rum, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar, crushed ice, 10 drops of maraschino liqueur. Mix all the ingredients in a blender until the ice is finely crushed and serve iced. Strawberry Daiquiri: ½ oz (15 mL) strawberry schnapps, 1 oz (30 mL) light rum, 1 oz (30 mL) lime juice, 1 tsp (5 mL) powdered sugar, 1 oz (30 mL) strawberries, crushed ice. Mix all the ingredients in a blender until the ice is finely crushed and serve iced. Other versions: Papa's is the version of the cocktail that Hemingway allegedly preferred (Papa is the nickname that fishermen gave Hemingway in Cuba), is identical to the Floridita Daiquiri, it only substitutes lime juice with grapefruit juice. It is said that Hemingway drank this cocktail with no sugar and doubled the rum. Mulata is the same cocktail as the Floridita Daiquiri, but instead of light-dry rum (which is colourless) it requires aged rum, which gives the cocktail an amber colour. Other versions, which did not originate in the Floridita, are also common in bars worldwide, such as Banana daiquiri and Strawberry daiquiri.

Danis 2 oz (60 mL) vodka, 2 oz (60 mL) orange juice, 3 oz (90 mL) grapefruit soda or Squirt. Mix vodka and orange juice, add ice, add soda. A variant of the cocktail uses sweetened grapefruit juice and club soda, instead of the grapefruit soft drink. Serve over ice in a short glass.

Combine as warranted, the ideal ratio culminates in a dark cola colour. The Dark And Stormy originated in Bermuda, where Gosling's distillery was founded. There is a variant made with vodka, called the Clear And Sunny. Also, the Partly Cloudy is made with vodka and gatorade when you are out of rum and ginger beer.

Dirty Vimto

A Dirty Vimto (also known as a dirty pint) is an alcoholic cocktail drink popularised in 2004 which replicates the fruit extract drink Vimto with the use of beer, alcopop and port wine. To a pint sized (568 mL) glass is added large (50 mL) port (usually Cockburns). The glass is filled to half way with Stella Artois and filled with WKD Blue. This unusual combination has a flavour reputed to be both delicious and remarkably similar to that of Vimto.

"Atomic Vimto" is made by putting half a pint (284 mL) of Stella Artois into a Pint (568 mL) glass, and adding 50 mL of Port. A shot (25 mL) of scotch is added, and topped with WKD Blue. The other option is to double the scotch, use 75 mL of port and fill the rest with WKD Blue. Other names include Cheeky Vimto.

In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine gin, lemon juice and sugar. Shake well. Strain into a sour glass and garnish with the orange slice. The Gin Sour is a traditional mixed cocktail from the US which antedates Prohibition. In an 1898 book by Finley Dunne, Mr Dooley includes it in a list of great American inventions:

I have seen America spread out fr'm th' Atlantic to th' Pacific... An' th' invintions,—th' steam-injine an' th' printin-press an th' cotton gin an' the gin sour an' th' bicycle an' th' flying machine an' th' nickel-in-th'-slot machine an' th' Croker machine an' th' sody fountain an'—crownin' wur-ruk iv our civilization—th' cash raygister.

Popular during the 1940s, Kevin Starr includes it in "an array of drinks (the gin sour, the whiskey sour, the gin rickey, the Tom Collins, the pink lady, the old fashioned) that now seem period pieces, evocative of another era."

A 1917 recipe is as follows: GIN SOUR—Country Club Style Use a large Mixing glass. Fill with Lump Ice. ½ lime juice, ½ orange juice, 2 dashes pineapple juice, ½ pony rock candy syrup, 1 jigger Burnette's Old Tom Gin. Shake well, strain into cocktail glass and serve.

Build as a highball. An origin legend tells that the traditional gin and tonic came about when British colonists in India, drinking a far more bitter anti-malarial tonic, mixed gin with the medicine to make it palatable. Whether or not the story is true, the tonic water used as a present-day mixer contains only a fraction of the quinine, and is sweetened.

Glögg [ edit ]

The following is a very classic variation of Glögg:

1 bottle (750 mL) of red wine

150 mL (5 oz) of vodka

7 pcs of cinnamon

20 cloves

ginger

cardamom

200 mL (7 fl oz) of sugar

1 tbsp (15 mL) of vanilla sugar

Avoid using cardamom powder or cinnamon powder. Mix together the spices and pour in the vodka. Let the mixture soak for at least a day. Separate the spices from the vodka, and pour in the wine. Heat the mixture, but do not let it boil. Serve warm with raisins and almonds. Glögg is the Scandinavian version of vin chaud or mulled wine. The main ingredients are (usually red) wine, spices such as cinnamon and cloves, and optionally also stronger spirits such as vodka or even Cognac. The mixture is prepared by heating, but it is not allowed to boil in order for the alcohol not to evaporate. Glögg is generally served with raisins and almonds, and is a popular warm drink during the Christmas season. In Denmark glögg is traditionally served during the Christmas season with æbleskiver (apple dumplings) sprinkled with powdered sugar and accompanied with strawberry marmalade. Glögg recipes vary widely, and variations with sweet wines such as Madeira or spirits such as Cognac or Armagnac are also very popular. Try brandy instead of vodka for robustness. Glögg can also be made alcohol-free by using juices or by boiling the Glögg for a few minutes to evaporate the alcohol.[21][22]

Green Cow [ edit ]

1 part Pisang Ambon liqueur

1 part milk

The Pisang Ambon liqueur that is used to make a green cow is green banana flavoured liqueur. It is a sweet, bright green herb. The name for this liqueur comes from an Indonesian Island, Ambon and Pisang means banana. This is a type of drink that is better well blended and frozen. Serving it cold helps keeps the taste and makes the flavour last longer than served warm. It also helps keep the milk in it cold. There are many varying recipes for this drink. For each person that tries it they develop their own taste and way of making it.

Hangman's Blood This is a drink first described by Richard Hughes in his 1929 novel, A High Wind in Jamaica. According to Hughes, Hangman's blood ... is compounded of rum, gin, brandy, and porter ... Innocent (merely beery) as it looks, refreshing as it tastes, it has the property of increasing rather than allaying thirst, and so once it has made a breach, soon demolishes the whole fort [3]

In the 1960s novelist Anthony Burgess described its preparation as follows:

Into a pint glass [568 mL], doubles [i.e. 50 mL measures] of the following are poured: gin, whisky, rum, port and brandy. A small bottle of stout is added and the whole topped up with champagne....It tastes very smooth, induces a somewhat metaphysical elation, and rarely leaves a hangover.

Hanky-Panky 1.5 oz (45 mL) gin, 1.5 oz (45 mL) sweet vermouth, 2 dashes Fernet Branca. Pour all the ingredients into a Martini glass half full of ice cubes. Stir well to combine and chill. Strain into a chilled Martini glass. The Hanky-Panky cocktail was the brainchild of Ada Coleman. Her benefactor, Rupert D'Oyly Carte, a member of the D'Oyly Carte family that first produced Gilbert and Sullivan operas in London, and the family that built the Savoy Hotel. When Rupert became chairman of the Savoy in 1903, Ada was given a position at the hotel's American Bar, where she eventually became the head bartender and made cocktails for the likes of Mark Twain, the Prince of Wales, Prince Wilhelm of Sweden and Sir Charles Hawtrey. Charles Hawtrey was the man for whom "Coley", as Ada Coleman was affectionately called, created the Hanky-Panky cocktail. He was an Victorian and Edwardian actor who mentored Noel Coward. Coley herself told the story behind the creation of the Hanky-Panky to England's The People newspaper in 1925:

"The late Charles Hawtrey ... was one of the best judges of cocktails that I knew. Some years ago, when he was overworking, he used to come into the bar and say, 'Coley, I am tired. Give me something with a bit of punch in it.' It was for him that I spent hours experimenting until I had invented a new cocktail. The next time he came in, I told him I had a new drink for him. He sipped it, and, draining the glass, he said, 'By Jove! That is the real hanky-panky!' And Hanky-Panky it has been called ever since."

The Hanky-Panky is a variation on the sweet Martini, inasmuch as it calls for gin and sweet vermouth, but Coley's secret ingredient was Fernet Branca, a bitter Italian digestivo. By adding just a couple of dashes of this herbal elixir, she transformed the drink into a masterpiece. [23]

Add the vodka and orange juice, and shake well. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass. Gently float the Galliano on top, and garnish with the orange slice. This well known tipple was one of many cocktails invented by renowned, (and two times world champion) mixologist Donato 'Duke' Antone (other notable 'Duke' creations are the Rusty Nail, The Godfather and the Flaming Caesar). This is one of many cocktails invented by 'Duke' in Los Angeles during the 1950's. According to legend, Harvey was actually a Californian surfer. After losing an important contest, he consoled himself in Duke's Blackwatch bar with one of his 'special' screwdriver cocktails, (a screwdriver with a dash of Galliano liqueur). After several drinks, he tried to leave the bar, but unfortunately kept bumping into the furniture and walls. Harvey 'the Wallbanger' became his nickname and the famous drink was named. In 2005, the American-based Food Network listed the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail as number four in its list of the top five fad foods of the 1970s.

Henry Morgan's Grog 2 oz (60 mL) dark rum, 1 cube sugar, 3 cloves, 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon or lime or orange juice, slice of lemon, boiling water. Place all ingredients except boiling water in an 8 oz (240 mL) mug. Stir till sugar is dissolved. Leave the spoon in the mug and pour in boiling water to fill and stir.

Hi-Fi Brazilian cocktail, made popular in the 1960's, consisting of orange soda and vodka. It is quite similar to the Screwdriver, causing some confusion on its country of origin. The original recipe used a brand of soda called Crush, which is not manufactured any more, being replaced with orange Fanta.

Horse's Neck A highball made with whiskey (usually rye or bourbon) and ginger ale, with a long spiral of lemon peel draped over the edge of the glass.

Hot Buttered Rum 1.5 oz (45 mL) rum, 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar, freshly boiled water, butter, nutmeg. Pour rum into a cup. Stir in sugar. Top up with water. Add a knob of butter and sprinkle with nutmeg. The Joy of Cooking describes this drink as one that "makes you see double and feel single". Replacing the boiling water with hot cider makes a "Stonewall".

Hot Totty Add one shot of Jack Daniels to an 8 oz (240 mL) glass of tea (amount of tea can be raised or lowered to taste). It can be served hot or over ice.

Hunter Thompson Fill a highball glass with ice cubes and then pour Wild Turkey 101 to the rim. Favorite drink of author Hunter S. Thompson

Invisible Man 2 oz (45 mL) gin, ½ oz (15 mL) brandy, ½ oz (15 mL) triple sec (optional), 2 oz (60 mL) orange juice, 3 oz (90 mL) ginger ale. Add ingredients to a highball glass with ice. Fresh squeezed orange juice is recommended for best flavor.

Irish Car Bomb First pour a shot (30 mL) of an Irish Whiskey such as Jameson or Tullamore Dew into a glass, and add about a pint (568 mL) of Irish beer such as Guinness or Murphy's. Drop a shot (30 mL) of Irish Cream such as Bailey's (including the shot glass) into the glass of beer. Immediately drink the mix. The Guinness beer and Irish Cream Liqueur will curdle together as soon as they make contact. The Irish Carbomb should be completely drunk before the drink has completely curdled. If done correctly, an Irish Carbomb should taste chocolatey.

Irish Coffee Strong black coffee, brown sugar, whiskey, very lightly whipped cream. Put a metal spoon in a wine glass and pour in the hot coffee. Leave about 1.5 cm space above the coffee. The spoon helps to prevent the glass cracking. Mix two teaspoons (10 mL) of sugar and the whiskey into the coffee, and remove the spoon. The amount of sugar can be suited to the drinker. Also, the more sugar in the coffee, the easier the final step is. Hold a tablespoon upside down over the glass, and slowly pour the cream over the back of the spoon onto the surface of the coffee mixture. It should float.

Irish Rootbeer Float In a chilled glass mug: 1 part rootbeer (preferably a frothy, flavourful variety), 1 part Bailey's Irish Cream, 1 part vodka. The Irish rootbeer float is a relatively new invention, finding its origins in the Southwestern region of Pennsylvania. It is a creamy, sweet beverage that utilises the mild neutral flavour of vodka to excellent effect, having a deceptively high alcohol content. The mix itself is very simple and versatile. Many feel that an Irish rootbeer float can act as a better introduction to spirits than beer, which is a far more common introduction to alcoholic beverages. The recipe is not written in stone, and the ratio may be adjusted to taste without compromising the overall flavour of the beverage. The Even-more Irish Rootbeer Float is a variation in which some, or all of the vodka is substituted with whiskey. Whilst a minor variation, it does result in a definitively different drink. The flavour is richer and more caustic and far less conducive to first-time drinkers. It does stay truer to its namesake, however. It comprises: 1 part rootbeer, 1 part Bailey's Irish Cream, 1 part whiskey (or a mixture of some part whiskey, some part vodka).

Irish Trash Can Served in chilled bar glass or mug: Fill the glass ½ to ¾ full of ice. Add 1 straw.

Add 1 shot of each of the following clear wells. Vodka, Rum, Gin, Tequila ,& Triple Sec. Next drizzle in 1 shot of Blue Curaçao, covering all of the ice cubes. Now dump one 8 oz can Red Bull energy drink upside down into the glass, allowing it to float. Drink through the straw, and as you desire, lift the can of Red Bull to replenish the drink.

Jade Cut a lime into 16 chunks and muddle well in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker halfway with ice. Add 3 oz. each simple syrup and vodka. Shake until very cold and serve straight up in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a wedge of lime.

Jager Bomb 4 oz (120 mL) energy drink (usually Red Bull) 1 oz (30 mL) of Jägermeister

take a glass filled with 4–6 oz (120-180 mL) of energy drink drop Jägermeister into glass and take quickly.

Jäger Colada 2 oz (60 mL) Jägermeister, 1 oz (30 mL) coconut milk, 4 oz (120 mL) pineapple juice, crushed ice. Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Shake well. Strain and serve with a pineapple garnish.

A Jarabacoa is a cocktail made with spiced rum, honey, lime juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cola. Jarabacoas are usually served in a cocktail glass or lowball.

Jello Shot Jello shots are made from flavoured gelatin dessert mix and distilled alcohol. The most commonly used liquors are rum and vodka, but almost any type is suitable. A jello shot is usually made in shot glasses, disposable paper cups, or small 2 oz (60 mL) plastic condiment containers. These condiment containers can be purchased in bulk, and come with lids to prevent alcohol evaporation. A jello shot is made just like regular gelatin desserts. Half of the total water required by the recipe is boiled, and then the mix is dissolved into the water. The remaining half of the water is replaced with liquor. Storing the alcohol in the freezer overnight helps chill and set the jello shots quicker. They take at least a couple of hours to set. Tom Lehrer claimed to have invented jello shots during his time with the Army, in the 1950s, as a way of circumventing the military post's liquor restrictions.[4] However, the earliest published recipe dates from 1862, and is found in How to Mix Drinks, or The Bon Vivant's Companion by Jerry Thomas: the recipe calls for gelatin, cognac, rum, and lemon juice.[5]





Jungle Breeze A combination of raspberry vodka and lemon lime soda. The vodka-soda proportion is left to the discretion of the individual, but the drink should have a smooth lemon lime taste with a sweet hint of raspberry.

K [ edit ]

Kalisto Comet 2 oz (60 mL) vodka, 2 oz (60 mL) Baileys, 1 oz (30 mL) coconut oil, 2 grams of crushed mint or peppermint, plenty of ice to top up glass. The Kalisto comet is a unique blend of vodka and Baileys drink; a slight variation is to use Tia lusso as opposed to Baileys as many find the combination of vodka and Baileys to be quite an acquired taste and can be sickly in taste for those not into Baileys too much. The ingredients of the cocktail are selected to make the drink smooth and easy on the senses with the vodka being the most potent ingredient used, the mint used is usually peppermint although an equally preferred alternative can also be spearmint to further add to the smooth taste.

Kamikaze 1 ½ oz (45 mL) vodka, 1 oz (30 mL) triple sec, 1 oz (30 mL) lime juice. Stir all the ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled tumbler filled with ice. Garnish with a lime twist.

Kentucky Joe 2 ½ oz (75 mL) Maker's Mark, ½ oz (15 mL) Kahlúa. Pour ingredients into rocks glass. Add ice and stir. The choice of Maker's Mark in this recipe is important. Other bourbons do not work well unless they are also Wheaters. The Kentucky Joe is a slightly sweet bourbon cocktail. The bitterness of the coffee flavour offsets the sweetness of the bourbon. This cocktail was created at LeNell's Ltd, a Wine and Spirit Boutique, by Benjamin Peikes and named by owner LeNell Smothers.

Kir Royale 100 mL champagne, 20 mL creme de cassis. Put creme de cassis in the champagne glass and pour the champagne in the glass. Stir until the colour is pale. Serve cold.

Lady Finger 1 oz (30 mL) gin, 1 oz (30 mL) kirschwasser, ½ oz (15 mL) cherry brandy, 1 oz (30 mL) lemon juice, ½ tsp (2.5 mL) superfine sugar. Shake all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

Lady Killer 30 mL gin, 15 mL Cointreau, 15 mL apricot brandy, 60 mL Maracujanektar, 60 mL Ananassaft. This is a classic cocktail created by Peter Roth, a famous barkeeper from the Kronenhalle in Zürich, Switzerland. In 1984, he won the world championship with this drink.

Latin Manhattan 2 measures (60 mL) each of white rum, sweet vermouth and dry vermouth. Add a splash of maraschino cherry juice and shake in a cocktail shaker and serve "up" (with no ice) in a Martini glass with a twist of lemon peel. When making this drink, avoid the temptation to use more rum. It makes the drink quite bitter. The balance of the three alcohols is the key.

Lemon Drop 1½ oz (45 mL) citrus vodka, ¾ oz (20 mL) Cointreau, 1 tsp (5 mL) superfine sugar, ¾ oz (20 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon wheel for garnish. Pour contents into a ice filled mixing glass and shake vigorously. Strain into a sugar rimmed cocktail glass garnished with a lemon wheel. Serve. Originally created at Henry Africa's Bar, San Francisco. Henry Africa's opened in 1969 and was one of the first establishments to serve cocktails that were developed and marketed specifically to females. Although the bar where it was first formulated is now closed, the Lemon Drop continues and has become a cocktail staple of westerners.

Lights Out

Liquid Cocaine 1 part Jägermeister, 1 part Goldschläger. Should be shot as soon as its poured as the 2 liquors take a couple of seconds to mix.

Long Island Iced Tea ½ oz (15 mL) vodka, ½ oz (15 mL) gin, ½ oz (15 mL) tequila, ½ oz (15 mL) triple sec, ½ oz (15 mL) rum, 1½ oz (45 mL) sweet and sour, splash of Coke. Stir. Garnish with lemon twist. Build ingredients over a Collins glass with ice. Some bartenders give the drink a short shake, but this is optional. Some choose to mix it without tequila. Some have nicknamed a Long Island with tequila a "Texas Iced Tea".

Named after the home town of Jack Daniels, Lynchburg, Tennessee. A Lynchburg Lemonade is a cocktail made with Jack Daniels, orange liqueur, sour mix, and any lemon-lime soda to fill. It is typically served on the rocks in a Collins glass, and garnished with a lemon or cherry.

Mai Tai The Maitai is a well-known cocktail purportedly invented at the Trader Vic restaurant in Oakland, California in 1944. Trader Vic's amicable rival, Don the Beachcomber, claimed to have created it first in 1933 at his own newly opened little bar (later a famous restaurant) in Hollywood. The Beachcomber's recipe is far more complicated than that of the Trader's and tastes quite different. Maitai is the Tahitian word for "good". The Trader Vic story of its invention is that the Trader (Victor J. Bergeron) created it one afternoon for some friends who were visiting from Tahiti. One of them tasted it and cried out: "Maitai roa!" ("Very good!") Hence the name. The first three of the following Maitai recipes are provided by Trader Vic's to The Search for the Ultimate Mai Tai website. Recipe 1: The Original Trader Vic Formula - 1944: 2 oz (60 mL) of 17-year old J. Wray and Nephew Rum over shaved ice. Add juice from one fresh lime. ½ oz (15 mL) Holland DeKuyper Orange Curaçao, ¼ oz (7.5 mL) Trader Vic's Rock Candy Syrup. ½ oz (15 mL) French Garnier Orgeat Syrup. Shake vigorously. Add a sprig of fresh mint. Recipe 2: "Old Way" Trader Vic Maitai Formula - 1997: 1 oz (30 mL) Fine Jamaican rum (15 or 8 year old), 1 oz (30 mL) Martinique rum (St. James), ½ oz (15 mL) Orange Curaçao, ½ ounce (15 mL) Orgeat Syrup, juice from one fresh lime (about ¾ oz[20 mL]). Mix and serve as in the original formula. Recipe 3: Today's Trader Vic Maitai (This recipe is very close to what Trader Vic's restaurants apparently serve.): 2 oz (60 mL) light rum, 1 oz (30 mL) triple sec, ½ oz (15 mL) lime juice, ½ oz (15 mL) Orgeat syrup, ½ tsp (2.5 mL) grenadine, maraschino cherry, pineapple. Shake all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass over crushed ice. Garnish with fruits and serve with a straw. Recipe 4: Don the Beachcomber Maitai: This version is much closer to what Don the Beachcomber served in his restaurants. It can be garnished with various fruits, as in the above recipe. Falernum, which is now difficult to obtain in the United States except from a single supplier in Seattle, is a flavored Caribbean syrup with a very different taste from the Orgeat syrup used in the Maitai 1. Ingredients: 2 oz (60 mL) water, ¾ oz (20 mL) fresh lime juice, 1 oz (30 mL) fresh grapefruit juice, 1 oz (30 mL) sugar syrup, 1 oz (30 mL) dark rum, 1½ oz (20 mL) golden rum, ½ oz (15 mL) Cointreau or triple sec, ¼ oz (7.5 mL) Falernum syrup, 2 dashes or scant ½ tsp Angostura bitters, 1 dash or scant ¼ tsp Pernod or other anisette-flavoured pastis. Shake all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a tall highball glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with fruits and serve with a straw. Recipe 5: Pineapple Variation Maitai: 4 oz (120 mL) orange juice, 4 oz (120 mL) pineapple juice, 1 oz (30 mL) lime juice, 1 oz (30 mL) dark rum, 1 oz (30 mL) light rum, 1 oz (30 mL) triple sec, ½ oz (15 mL) grenadine.

Maiden Head 3 oz (90 mL) cherry brandy, 2 oz (60 mL) cherry 7-up, 2 oz (60 mL) cherry soda, whipped cream, a cherry. All liquids should be chilled and mixed with a stirring stick. Top the cocktail with whipped cream and a cherry. The name probably comes from fact that cherry, the theme ingredient of this cocktail, and maiden head are both slang terms for the hymen.[24] [25] [26]

Maiden's Prayer 1½ oz (45 mL)gin, 1 oz (30 mL) lemon juice, ½ oz (15 mL) triple sec. Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve. Another cocktail by the same name is made of: 1 part gin, 1 part light rum, 1 part Cointreau, 1 part lemon juice. Shake with crushed ice and strain into a chilled wine or cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Manhattan There are any number of variations to this drink, but two of the more popular recipes are The Original Manhattan and The Perfect Manhattan. Classic Manhattan: 1½ shots (45 mL) bourbon (quality counts up to a point. Something like Early Times is quite adequate.)

⅓ shot (10 mL) sweet vermouth (quality really counts here and most domestics are out.) 2 shakes of bitters, 1 tbl (15 mL) cherry juice. Garnish with Cherry. Serve up in stemware or on the rocks. The Original Manhattan: 1 shot bourbon (30 mL), ¼ shot (7.5 mL) sweet vermouth, dash bitters. Stir ingredients in a large glass with ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry. The Perfect Manhattan: 1 shot bourbon, ¼ shot sweet vermouth, dash bitters, rinse dry vermouth. Stir whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters in a large glass with ice. Rinse chilled cocktail glass with dry vermouth (pour only a little in the glass, swirl it around and pour it out). Strain chilled ingredients into cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist. If someone requests it extra dry you could use no vermouth at all.

Man Juice Can be made individually or in bulk, preferably the latter.

Bulk- dump half to one full bags of ice in large pot or kettle. Pour in one case of Natural Ice beer, one handle of vodka, and one to one and a half gallon mixers of Kool-Aid for flavor. Stir and serve. Single- pour a single serving amount of Kool-Aid in a glass or cup; add one shot of vodka and one can of Natural Ice.





See Bartending/Cocktails/Margarita for details. Common Margarita ratios: 50 % tequila, 25 % Triple Sec, 25 % fresh lime juice; 50 % tequila, double as much Triple Sec than fresh lime juice; 60 % tequila, 20 % Triple Sec, 20 % fresh lime juice; 33 % tequila, 33 % Triple Sec, 33 % fresh lime juice.

Maria Teresa 4 oz (120 mL) of orange juice, 2 oz (60 mL) of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau, triple sec or Grand Marnier), 1 oz (30 mL) of grenadine, 1 oz (30 mL) of lime juice. The preferred way to make a Maria Teresa is to combine all of the ingredients in a shaker, shake with ice, and strain into a sugar-rimmed glass. The Maria Teresa is named after a Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.

Martini 1 measure (30 mL) dry vermouth, 5 measures (150 mL) gin, 2 olives. Pour a small splash of vermouth in the shaker. Add gin to the mix. Melted ice will bring the liquid content up to 3 oz (90 mL) total. Prepare as a stirred cocktail. Mixing a Martini is a trying task, as it is difficult to measure out just enough vermouth. Harvard suggests using a metal shaker and rimming the full edge with the liquid. This means pouring in enough that the liquid coats the bottom of the shaker, but doesn't start to fill it. A dry Martini can be made by rimming half the shaker, leaving part of the bottom untouched by vermouth; and an extra dry Martini is done by splashing a little vermoth in the shaker, swirling it around, and dumping it back out before adding the gin.

Maude 2 oz (60 mL) vodka, ginger ale, a splash of grenadine, and a garnish of two maraschino cherries. Served on the rocks. It is named after the character played by Bea Arthur on the 1970s sitcom Maude, and is found mainly in bars catering to gay men.

Melon Bomb

Michelada Very popular Mexican cocktail. Preparation differs from state to state. This recipe is in the San Luis Potosí/Cuernavaca style: 355 mL beer (any kind will do), 120 mL Clamato (Clam-Tomato cocktail; optional, but highly recommended), 1 or 2 lemons, Worcestershire Sauce, maggi juice, Black-Label Valentina Sauce (hard to get for people outside of Mexico), salt, pepper, chilled beer mug, ice. Have a beer mug chilled, then frost it with salt and lemon. Pour in about 25 to 35 mL of Valentina Sauce. Squeeze in your lemons. Add some Worcestershire sauce, then the Maggi juice. Now, salt and pepper to taste, then stir. Add your 120 mL of Clamato, then keep stirring. Finally, pour in your beer while you keep stirring. Add some ice if you like. There's no secret for mixing the best Michelada, it must suit your taste. If you want to make liter-sized Micheladas, you need to vary proportionally the quantity of ingredients shown in this table. But then again, it must please you. It's some sort of acquired taste. You must not replace the Valentina sauce with some other kind of sauce (say, Tabasco). It won't taste the same.

Mickey Mouse More than one drink shares this name, this recipe is from webtender. 3 oz (90 mL) tomato juice, 1 dash lemon juice, ½ tsp (2.5 mL) Worcestershire sauce, 2-3 drops Tabasco sauce, 1 wedge lime, ice cubes. Shake all ingredients (except lime wedge) with ice and strain into an old-fashioned glass over ice cubes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the wedge of lime and serve.

Midnight Baya This drink was created in Kissimmee, Florida by Brent M. Farmer in 2006. It is a variation of the traditional mojito that substitutes the lime with blueberries and blackberries, and regular clear rum with vanilla flavor rum. 4-6 blueberries, 4-6 blackberries, 6-9 mint leaves (optional), sugar (optional), 1 part vanilla flavored rum, 3 parts club soda, and 3-4 raspberries. Place the blueberries and blackberries into a shaker, muddle them well with a pestle, add the vanilla rum and fill the shaker with ice, then shake well (up to 30 times). Afterwards, pour it through a strainer (to filter out the berry skins) into a tall ice filled glass, top it with the club soda, stir and garnish with raspberries. Mint leaves can be added for a more traditional mojito flavor and sugar for extra sweetness.

Midnight Cowboy 2 oz (60 mL) bourbon, 1 oz (30 mL) dark rum, ½ oz (15 mL) heavy cream. Can be shaken with ice and strained into a cocktail glass, or served on the rocks.

Midori Sour There are a number of different cocktail recipes with the name "Midori Sour". The below is one variant of this. Combine in a glass equal quantities of the following ingredients in this order (double shots are suggested, but other amounts are also usable): Midori, chambord, lime juice (note: not lime cordial as this is not generally bitter enough). The sweet tastes of the Midori and the chambord combine with the bitterness of the lime juice to create a unique drink.

Mimosa 6/10 chilled champagne, 4/10 orange juice (Simply Orange or freshly-squeezed is preferred). Pour orange juice into a champagne flute, then add champagne.

Mint Julep 2.5 oz (75 mL) bourbon whiskey, 3 tsp (15 mL) simple syrup, sprig of mint. Muddle mint leaves and syrup in glass. Add shaved or crushed ice and then Bourbon. Garnish with a whole sprig of mint. Another variation, courtesy of Alton Brown: Muddle ten mint leaves and 1 ½ teaspoons (7.5 mL) of superfine sugar (which can be made by pulsing sugar in a food processor) until you've got a paste. Add a splash of seltzer water, and mix with the muddled mint. Then fill the glass about ¾ with ice. Add 2 ½ oz (75 mL) bourbon, and finish with a splash of seltzer water. Garnish with mint, and serve.

Mojito Mojito (pronounced mo-HEE-toe) is a traditional Cuban cocktail which became quite popular in the United States during the late 1890s. For details and variations on the recipe, see Bartending/Cocktails/Mojito. As an example, this is this is how they prepare Mojitos at "La Bodeguita del Medio": 1 tsp (5 mL) of sugar, ¼ oz (7.5 mL) fresh lime juice, 2 mint sprigs (not a forest!), crush gently, add 1½ oz (45 mL) white Cuban rum, add ice cubes, add 2 oz (60 mL) soda water. Stir well, garnish with a sprig of mint. The mint leaves should be gently bruised with a muddler or similar implement in the bottom of an empty tall glass. add the sugar and lime, and then the rum. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Mix everything together and top the glass with soda (club soda).

Molotov Cocktail ½ shot (15 mL) Vodka (cheap vodka is best, meant to burn going down), ½ shot (15 mL) Everclear (151 can be used but it would change the flavour). Fill with vodka. Add Everclear (or 151). Ignite, blow out and slam shot. Non-flaming variant: ½ shot (15 mL) vodka, ½ shot (15 mL) Everclear (or 151), splash of Red Hot (or Tabasco), pinch of chili powder. Layer into shot glass with Red Hot on top. Sprinkle with chili powder. Slam shot. Be careful not to rub eyes afterwards.

Montgomery The Montgomery Cocktail is a very dry Martini: 15 parts gin to 1 part vermouth dry. It is named after Fieldmarshall Viscount Montgomery of Alamein. Churchill once said Montgomery needed a superiority of 15:1 to risk an attack.

Moonraker 1½ oz (45 mL) tequila, 4 oz (120 mL) pineapple juice, ½ oz (15 mL) Blue Curaçao liqueur. Mix tequila and pineapple juice in a highball glass with ice. Drop the Blue Curaçao into the center of the drink and serve.

Moscow Mule 2 oz (60 mL) lime juice, 2 oz (60 mL) vodka, 8 oz (240 mL) ginger ale. Mix all the above ingredients in a highball glass with ice.

Mountain Meister 1 part Jägermeister , 2 parts Mountain Dew, more or less to taste. Typically served in an 8 oz (240 mL) highball glass.

Mudslide 1 part vodka, 1 part Kahlúa, 1 part coffee liqueur, 1 part milk, ice. Put all ingredients in blender and blend for 30 seconds.

Mulled Red Wine 2 oz (60 mL) sugar syrup, 750 mL bottle Bordeaux (red), 1 pt (500 mL) ruby port, 1 cup (250 mL) brandy, 7 whole cloves, several cinnamon sticks, ½ tsp (2.5 mL) grated nutmeg, lemon peel. Dissolve sugar in a flaming pan. Add ingredients and mix on low heat. Serve when hot. Serves about 10.

N [ edit ]

Naga 1 part gin, 1 part blue curaçao, 1 part creme de cacao (dark), 1 part lime cordial, ice. Mix the ingredients into a whisky glass and top with ice.

Naughty Shirley Temple 1-2 shots (30-60 mL) vodka, 1 oz (30 mL) grenadine, 1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice, ice, ½ glass orange juice, ½ glass lemon-lime soda. Place three to four ice cubes, just one more than will fit without stacking, in a highball glass. Pour the grenadine over the ice, then the lime juice. Add the vodka. Fill just over half way with orange juice, then add an equal amount of lemon-lime soda. Sip or drink in reverse with a straw. A non-virgin variation of the virgin drink, Shirley Temple.

Negroni 1 part gin, 1 part Campari, 1 part sweet vermouth. Stir (only a slight shake is permissable) the ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon. Common substitutes include vodka for the gin, dry vermouth for the sweet, or a twist of orange instead of lemon. According to the most popular origin story, the Negroni was invented in Florence, Italy in the early 1920s. It was named after Count Camillo Negroni, the man who invented it by asking a bartender to add gin to the Americano, his favourite drink. However, the word Negroni doesn't appear in English cocktail guides before 1947, so the drink's true origins are uncertain. The Negroni is an apéritif, or pre-dinner cocktail, intended to stimulate the drinker's appetite. There is also a variant, popular in Italy, named Negroni sbagliato where the gin is substituted with spumante brut. A Negroni Malato ("Sick" Negroni) is a Negroni served with orange juice

Nixon

Nuclear Wessel 1 part scotch, 3 parts vodka, 1 part Jägermeister. The Wessel is a rather finicky drink to mix- The vodka and the Jägermeister should be chilled, but the scotch warmed. First put down one part of the vodka, then the scotch, then another part of vodka, then the Jägermeister, then finally the last bit of vodka. Shake with crushed ice and serve cold.

O [ edit ]

Oatmeal Cookie An Oatmeal Cookie is a shooter made of equal parts Baileys Irish Cream, butterscotch and cinnamon schnapps and Jägermeister. Mix equal parts of all liquors (¼ oz (7.5 mL) each for one shot) into a shaker. Shake thoroughly. Pour into a shot glass. Can also be made without Jägermeister.

Octopussy

Old Fashioned A recipe with many variations, almost always featuring bourbon and sugar. Add slice of orange, tsp of sugar (5 mL) or simple syrup, maraschino cherry (without stem) and two dashes of Angostura bitters to bottom of an Old Fashioned glass. Fill glass with ice. Add 2 oz (60 mL) bourbon and stir. Serve with stir or short straw. An Old Fashioned glass is similar to a bucket or tumbler. This drink is sometimes ordered as a call. On occasion Southern Comfort, Scotch, or various Rye whiskies may be desired.

One-Balled Dictator 1 part good champagne, 5 parts cheap liebfraumilch. Shake the concoction very violently but for a short duration, then pour into a "rocks" type glass. Before drinking, add one cinnamon ball, the type found in bags of bulk candy. You now have a One-Balled Dictator. A splash of Galliano liqueur added just before shaking will create a Mussolini. One-Balled Dictator is a wine cocktail drunk by World War II veterans. The name is seen by some as a little unorthodox, yet is still seen as a reasonably tasty drink. Symbolism: The combination of the milky-white liebfraumilch with the champagne will produce a very white drink, where the German very quickly overwhelms the French. The wide-mouthed rocks glass provides breathing room for the drink, which has only one ball. Taken together, this is clearly a joke reference to Adolf Hitler, who, after the invasion of Poland, took over France in a very successful and fast way, through the "lightning war" or blitzkrieg, during the early years of World War II. The reference to Hitler's "one ball" comes from the lyrics to a crude song sung by British soldiers, to the tune of the Colonel Bogey March. Although the symbolism renders this primarily a joke recipe, the actual drink produced is unique and quite pleasant. The fiery taste of the cinnamon gives an interesting contrast to the "cooler" flavour of the white wines. This drink originated in Cincinnati, Ohio in the late 1940s, concocted by veteran members of the US 82nd Airborne Division.

One-five-one (151) proof rum A rum which is 75% alcohol. Quite flammable as the warnings on the bottle declare.

Orgasm

PVB^2 ½ shot love, 1/8th shot tequila, 1/8th shot blueberry vodka, 1/8th bacardi razz, 1/8th big juicy

Paloma 120 mL silver (white) tequila, 240 mL grapefruit flavoured soda, a twist of lemon, salt and a small dish for frosting. Chill a high glass. Twist some lemon juice on the mouth of the glass and turn it upside-down into a salt-filled dish to create the frosting. Add some ice. Pour the tequila first, then the grapefruit soda. Stir as needed, then decorate with a lemon rind. Alternative: Instead of using silver tequila, you could use rested (reposado) variation. It gives a more "wooden" texture to the experience. Its name translates as "dove".

Punch Punch is a general term for any of a wide assortment of mixed drinks, either soft or alcoholic, often containing fruit or fruit juice. Punch is typically served at parties in large, wide bowls known as punchbowls. In a large number of Caribbean, Pacific or Indian Ocean countries, punch is also drunk as an aperitif before meals. The original drink was made from five different ingredients, namely arrack, sugar, lemon, water and tea. Because of this it was named panch which is the Hindi for five. This name was adopted by the sailors of the British East India Company and brought back to England, from where it was introduced into other European countries.

In Germanic culture, punch (or Punsch in German) refers to a mixture of several fruit juices and spices, often with wine or liquor added. Punch is popular in Germany, as well as with many Germans who emigrated to America. The traditional German Christmas often includes a Feuerzangenbowle ("Burnt Punch" or "Burning Fire Tongs Bowl"). This is a punch made from red wine, and flaming rum poured over a sugar hat, a large conical sugar cube placed on the "Feuerzange" which supports it above the bowl. In Korean culture, sujeonggwa is a traditional punch made from dried persimmons, cinnamon and ginger.

Radler Radler', German for cyclist, is a traditional mixture of beer and a soft drink, mostly carbonated and orange or lemon flavoured, in South Eastern Germany (Bavaria) and adjacent provinces. It is refreshing, and its alcohol content is low, depending on the beer's alcohol content as it is normally mixed 1:1. There is however enough alcohol to provide a momentary surplus energy which might be a clue for the word's etymology: to be the beverage of cyclists as it does not make them drunk but makes the most of the alcohol it contains.
