I'm an old fashioned guy myself, when I'm not sipping a single malt.Old Fashioned
teaspoon of sugar or a cube
few dashes of bitters
2oz of a good bourbon
In a rocks glass, put sugar, a cherry and an orange wedge and mash them up good. Add the bitters, stir and top with ice. Pour the bourbon over the top then a gentle stir
Can't go against that.Nowadays, club soda with a splash of cranberry. Back in the day; either Johnny or Absolute on the rocks...no fruit.
Is that the offspring of a rum runner and bahama mama?Copeland's Restaurant's Crash & Burn:
1/2 oz light rum
1/2 oz dark rum
1/2 oz Southern Comfort
1/2 oz Blackberry brandy
1/2 oz Banana liquer
1/2 oz Creme de Noya
1/2 oz Triple Sec
3 1/2 oz pineapple jiuce
3 1/2 oz orange juice
2 oz pina colada mix
dash grenadine
dash Rose's lime juice
It's usually served in punch bowl glasses. I'm so addicted to them that my wife holds me to ordering only two whenever we go out to eat there. I chase it with 100 proof SC when I make it at home instead of the 80 proof served at the restaurant (or at my Copeland's in my opinion).
I always want a second margarita, so I would double this recipe.And how you make it.
I just recently discovered a drink called a Pineapple margarita on the rocks
1 ½ cups tequila (Patron Silver)
2 cups pineapple juice
¾ cup Cointreau
¾ cup lime juice
That is what I've gone to. Being a slight diabetic now, I have to watch the sugar, so I get a Vodka Splash. Vodka, club soda, and just a splash of cranberry.Nowadays, club soda with a splash of cranberry. Back in the day; either Johnny or Absolute on the rocks...no fruit.
Tonic water contains quinine and is excellent if you get leg cramps at night. A lot of people do not like the taste but tonic with a twist of lime is very refreshing.That is what I've gone to. Being a slight diabetic now, I have to watch the sugar, so I get a Vodka Splash. Vodka, club soda, and just a splash of cranberry.
When it's really hot outside, I now do a Gin Twist instead of a Gin n Tonic. Tonic water is basically soda water. Loaded w/ sugar. So, it's gin, club soda, and a splash of margarita mix.
Often times I simply pour some whiskey on the rocks. Never thought I'd partake, but I've been drinking some flavored whiskey last few years. Peach Crown or maybe Fireball poured on ice.
Bloody Mary with Clamato.. now we’re talking! I’m always on the prowl for a good Bloody Mary! Throw a nice strip of crisp bacon or 2 in there instead of the usual celery stick.My favorite mixed drink of all time is the Bloody Mary. I perfected the mix back in 1980, after a trip to Canada where they serve the Bloody Caesar, and have given this recipe out more than all the others combined and every person that's ever tasted one announces that is the best they ever had. The secret is in the Clamato vs tomato juice because of the consistency not being as heavy. I have several variations on the mix now. I approximate the measures because I have never measured it. I could make this in my sleep and what a wonderful usage of down time!
1 bottle of Clamato
20 grinds on a pepper mill or if you want to get fancy, Aleppo Pepper.
Celery Salt to taste
Sea salt to taste
Fresh lemon juice, at least a tbl
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce, at least a tsp
Crystal Hot Sauce, at least a tbl
Boar's Head horseradish. at least a tsp
Depending on the taste you're looking for and tolerance for spicy heat, either at least a tbl of pickled jalapeno juice, dill pickle juice or pepperoncini juice.
For a variation on this, especially in the colder months, add 8ozs of beef broth and use tequila instead of vodka for a Bloody Maria.
Both of these make great Micheladas.
And if you mix this with an equal amount of tomato juice, it makes excellent Gazpacho.
Love Bloody Ceasars. I like that you use lemon instead of lime. I do as well. Makes a huge difference.My favorite mixed drink of all time is the Bloody Mary.
