Pseudo-Margarita
Mar. 3rd, 2010 11:35 pm1 lowball glass, filled with about 3 Oz of limeaide from concentrate.
1 oz of triple sec
1/3rd oz of tequila, quality uncertain
Salted rim is optional.
Stupidly easy and quite tasty. You can make these in bulk for a party or the like without worrying about squeezing limes or the like. Worthwhile experiment.

Corsair's Tonic
Feb. 3rd, 2009 06:47 pmI produced another drink which has turned out rather well.
Large glass of tonic water
1/2 oz of triple sec
1/2 oz of blue curacao
1/2 oz dark rum (screech to be precise)
Dash of Angostura bitters
It's a nice and relatively light drink, flavorful without being cloying and not too sweet. It also staves off scurvy which is a plus.

Oct. 3rd, 2008 08:17 pmAfter receiving my first full sized paycheck, I decided to celebrate and purchase a little alcohol. To be precise, I bought two items for myself and some wine/Guinness for the folks. Bottle 1 was "Tequila Rose", a strawberry cream liqueur with tequila in it for a bit of zing which would be excellent on ice cream.
I also finally picked up a bottle of the strangest stuff; Zen Green Tea Liqueur. I had been considering the stuff though I was annoyed that I couldn't find a small bottle and the 35$ price tag was a tad steep for a risk like that. It was 30% off and there was one bottle left so I picked that up. Turns out it is actually surprisingly sweet rather then a bitter like I had predicted; tastes like melon liqueur plus a green tea flavour which works well in a twisted kind of way.
After that sampling, I decided to produce one last shot to sip upon. 1/2 oz of Chambord raspberry and 1/2 oz of Creme de Cacao. Daaamn. This is a keeper, incredibly easy and decadent at the same time. Chocolate raspberry cheesecake in a shot.

Aug. 29th, 2008 11:23 pmNot a criticism or anything, just a new drink related to the Caribbean Reef. I ought to do a whole series of these.
Highball glass of limeaid
Ice
1/2 shot coconut rum
1/2 shot banana rum
1/4 shot of Jagermeister
1/4 shot of Creme de Menthe
1/4 shot of Blue Curacao
1/4 shot of Triple Sec
It works quite well, though you need the very small amounts of Jagermeister and Creme de Menthe else they would overpower the drink.

Aug. 10th, 2008 06:56 pmNew drink for the collection, though it is a touch strong.
Glass of Limeade
1/2 shot of Banana Rum
1/2 shot of Coconut Rum
Dash of Creme de Menthe
1/2 shot of White Rum
1/2 shot of Tripe Sec
I approve this most tropical of drinks. Granted, this is my second drink of the evening but it is to potential good luck tomorrow.

Booze update
Dec. 27th, 2007 10:53 pmMade a purchase to refresh my alcohol supply. I know have rum again, along with a nice 1.14L bottle of Vodka, a bottle of melon liqueur and a mickey of Southern Comfort. Uncertain if I will use the melon liqueur that much, but there are a great many recipes which include that along with the Chambord raspberry liqueur so I figured that I might as well. This means that my bar is fairly well stocked again for (relatively) little. ~60$ a year of my own money spent on alcohol for my own home bar isn't tooo bad.
Since I had a relatively good day, I treated myself to two shots, sampling some of the new stock. I realize how odd this reasoning sounds, but I tend to follow the maxim that if I really _want_ a drink, that is when I ought to stay sober. When days are good and there is no pressing drive to the drink, some alcohol is perfectly alright.
