Spinoff- Drink recipes!

OK, remember Slippery Monkeys?

1/2 oz Rum

1/2 oz Kahlua

1/2 oz Baileys Island Oasis banana frozen beverage mix (pasteurized banana mix)

Chocolate sirup

Banana Liquor

Ice

Dark Cocoa

Place the dark cocoa in bottom of glass (a chilled collins glass or stemmed goblet). Put all other ingredients in a blender and blend at medium-high speed for 15 seconds.

We also loved Aruba Ariba:

1/2 oz vodka

1/2 oz 151 proof rum

1/8 oz Coecoei

1/8 oz creme de bananes

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup cranberry juice

1/2 cup pineapple juice

Ruby Tuesdays has a drink that I absolutely love. It is acai berry vodka, pink lemonade, pomegranate juice, and lime spritzer.

My other favorite drink is a malibu baybreeze (which isn't original at all but I love it).

Take one bottle of Grey Goose.

Chill in the freezer for one solid day.

Pour in your biggest shot glass.

Chug!

Carole, I like the way you think. (and Carole is my middle name too, lol)

My fave? Campari and Champagne. Yum!

I went to bartending school and bartended for a while and there are so many good ones! The layered shots are fun, cement mixer for 21st, love a white Russian and sex on the beach. I actually found a great drink that is just gin, gingerale and lime juice called a leapfrog highball! Haha

You made me get out my bartending book! LOL, Apple jolly rancher sounds good:

Apple schnapps

Absolut Citron

Triple Sec

Sweet & Sour

Sprite

Peanut Butter & Jelly

Baileys

Chambord

Frangelico

My fav recipe is called a 4 finger Captain:

One tall pint glass

Fill with Ice

Wrap your hand around the bottom of the glass and pour Captain Morgan to the top of your hand (4 fingers)

Add a splash of Pepsi Max

Tada!

Back when I was allowed to drink (LOL) my absolute favorite was the French martini. Here's the original recipe

2 oz vodka

1/2 oz chambord

1-1/2 ounce pineapple juice

BUT - I like mine without the pineapple juice - smooth but has a kick to it. I call my version Cupid's Kiss cause it starts out sweet and then warms the heart (and a few other places as I recall LOL!)

So how many bottles of different stuff do I need to buy to try all of these?

Except Carole's "recipe" haha!

Nope come on over Mrs. S my bar has every ingredient so far :-) And you can tell me all about your NJ woes as we sample them all

Tootsie Roll:

1 oz. Brown creme de cocoa

.5 oz. Triple sec

LMAO Marie, careful, I may take you up on that offer...

Mrs S- Our bar is stocked!

hmmmm....Do you celebrate halloween?

Everyone, we need to invite the bartender, Heather to the party!

Celia....Your recipe sounds delish as well.

Marie....When my bff was alive, that was her drink, except with a splash of DP. The Captain and I have had a love hate relationship. I love drinking it, but I hate the way it makes me feel the next day.

We have a fully stocked bar as well. It's 5:00 somewhere. : )

Honestly, I do believe this week is going to kill me.

This is more a summery drink, but it's lethal because you can't taste the vodka.

1 container of frozen pink lemonade

1 bottle of club soda

2 cups raspberry flavored vodka (the recipe actually only calls for one, but I love my vodka!)

Fresh raspberries (I usually add a pint per pitcher)

The raspberries are the best part. They soak up the vodka and taste so good!

Haha @Carole, I actually miss bartending! I have done a few co workers parties and my friend's mom's friend's kid's graduation party LOL. They did a signature strawberry margarita so I brought my salt and sugar rimmers and they loved it! I make a good long island too, the key is the proportions. I have tasted some pretty nasty long islands, they just put TOO much liquor, the point is to have a lot of liquor but you use so many of them you don't have to use A LOT of each of them...

I live in the area so let me know when the party is :-)

At Marie's.

@ Labake O...your drink sounds so good right now..how about the name tropical storm?

Party at Marie's, woot!

My new fave I discovered in Spain, tinto de verano!

1/2 cup cheap Spanish red table wine.

1/2 cup gaseosa - basically, a very light version of Sprite that I can't find anywhere. We tried sprite and that didn't really work, so H now makes his own carbonated lemonade with sugar, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and pellegrino. He does this when he wants to get laid. It works.

Dump both in a tall glass over ice, top with a lemon wedge, drink 7 of them between breakfast and lunch, and you have instant vacation.

I found that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Xrated Fusion. We had it in pink lemonade with vodka as our cocktail at the wedding, but I always keep a bottle on hand. I'm not a huge drinker, but it became my own personal happy place when things got stressful last year. I haven't tried it in anything else yet...

Dawn you need to open your mind up,

You can drink it in a box

You can drink it wearing a fox

You can drink it naked in your soxs

and of course...

Missionary as in over the roxs!
