Earlier I linked to a Halloween cocktail created by Dot at Dabbled.
Since then she’s concocted a few more. Check out her Creepy Bubble Fun.

Download some of these fancy poison labels, slap them on your bottles of booze, and mix some Halloween cocktails, like this Brain Hemorrhage from Tango Pango.

1/2 – 3/4 oz. Peach Schnapps
Float 1-2 Tbl. of Baileys on top
Drop 1 tsp of grenadine through the Baileys.

Month of Cocktails – #26 Beer

Last night’s cocktail was – beer!
Frankly, I think I’ve had enough of cocktailing. Most other recipes I might want to make call for ingredients that will simply languish around the house for years (how often will I use benedictine?). And, this was supposed to be a cocktail celebration, not a cocktail challenge.
It’s time to return [...]

Month of Cocktails – #25 Volga Volga

No picture of this one. Imagine if you will a glass of cool, clear water on ice. Now you know what a volga volga looks like. This is vodka, creme de menthe and tonic water. Not as good as the stinger. Tastes a little like cough medicine. Good for those who want to ‘tussin up [...]

Month of Cocktails – #24 Ward Eight

A ward eight is a whisky sour with grenadine instead of sugar syrup. It was 2:1 lemon juice and bourbon and a dash of grenadine. The recipe I have calls for some bar sugar, but the grenadine makes it sweet enough for me. Shake everything in a shaker with ice and pour neat into a [...]

Month of Cocktails – #23 Screwdriver

Sunday night I was hot and thirsty and not really in the mood for a cocktail at all, so I fixed a screwdriver. After I took this picture I loaded the drink with even more ice and OJ. After I drank it I stuck with iced orange juice for the rest of the night. I [...]

Month of Cocktails – #22 Mint Julep

I spent Saturday afternoon with a mint julep aficionado, and drank one down before the Kentucky Derby. The joy of the julep was dampened by the death of Eight Belles, but we toasted her life and pondered the mysteries and histories of the derby tradition.
This julep was strong. I think I must have had a [...]

Month of Cocktails – #21 Vodka Sour

It’s been a week since the last month of cocktails! It seems like busy-ness seeks me out, when what I really want to be doing is sitting on the beach with a frozen fruit cocktail.
I concocted a vodka sour because I didn’t have time to hit the liquor store and the libations were running bare. [...]

Month of Cocktails – #20 Rusty Nail

Tonight’s drink is a rusty nail. Recipes differ, but I choose 3 parts scotch to one part drambuie. Pour both on ice and stir. One of the better drinks I’ve tried this month.
The image will have to come later. Also, I probably won’t immediately post drinks #21 and #22 since I will be immersed in [...]

Month of Cocktails – #19 Pina Colada

This is my first blender drink. It seems like a lot of hardware just to mix a drink, but the results sure are delicious.
This version uses 12 oz. pina colada mix, 4 oz. rum, and 3 cups of ice all blended into a frothy concoction.
I’m really dropping the ball on this month of cocktails. Interspersed [...]
