(Recipes) Mixed drinks to die for

[Obliquity]

Oh, I guess it would have to be a Classic Cuban Mojito.

Lacking authentic Cuban Rum, I use equal parts Cruzan Light Estate Rum and Mt. Gay Eclipse. Although the Eclipse is not clear, it reeeaaally tastes good.

Mojitos have become one of "the popular" drinks lately, but I have had some really poorly made ones out on the town. A well made one on a beautiful sunny day is hard to beat. (With cigar, if so inclined. )

I certainly agree! I always have a few in my humidor for such occasions.

Forgot the mixed drinks to end all mixed drinks, the Irish Coffee.

1 jigger good Irish whisky. I find Bushmills Black Label to be perfect.

Sugar to taste, usually 1-2 teaspoons

Strong black coffee to fill the glass 1/2" below the rim

Fresh whipped cream on top

This is a perfectly balanced drink that covers all four of the major food groups: Sugar, fat, alcohol and caffeine.

Dang, if it weren't for it being 0540, I might would make that one now. (Sitting here staring at my full coffee mug) :fanboy:

Ahh,,The drink of the Gods...
However, I usually substitute a shot of Bailey's for the whipped cream..

The perfect T&T:

• fill a 10 oz glass with ice cubes and pour over the ice:
• 2 oz. Tanqueray gin
• 6 oz. Tonic (Schwepp's)
• 1 lime wedge

OR

The perfect martini

• 1 1/4 oz. Tanqueray gin
• 1 olive
• Spritz of dry vermouth

shake the gin with ice, add the olive and spritz with vermouth. I like it dirty so add a splash of olive juice and make it 3 olives. And it HAS to be ICE COLD!

The worlds driest Martini. Hold the shaker next to the phone and call your best friend in Finland to wave the dry vermouth over the reciever.

I line from a play I did used a similar line..Except the person set the shaker down and walked across the room and whispered "Dry Vermouth"

Have you tried a martini with the Tanqueray 10 yet?

I'm waiting to finish my 3rd degree test (May 31st) and school (June 9th) THEN I'm going to give it a shot.

Good luck on both, just don't bother to make a T&T with it, it would be a waste!
