60 Hillcrest

Probably I just didn't do it right. But regardless of its all-good ingredients, it was bland and sweet for me.
Wouldn't make it again.

1 oz. Bacardi White Rum
1 oz. Beefeater Dry Gin
Orange Juice
Sprite

Jedi

1 oz Blue Curacao
1/3 oz Creme de Cacao
milk

Sounds quite funky.
Looks? Inedible.
Tastes too sweet.

It's not bad as the ingredients sound, but I won't eat it again.

French Dream

1 oz Bailey's
1 oz Kahluah
1 oz Chambord or Creme de Cassis

Of course, I don't have money for Chambord, so used cassis.
Looks from the outside, think of milk + acid.
Better than it looks.

Royal Cassis

I guess I kind of like cassis.

Brandy 2 oz
Creme de Cassis 1 oz

Egg nog

I didn't know that the day I make this kind of the drink in my life.

We had a Christmas cocktail party, in which all the participants should make one cocktails of their own. So, I decided to make one that really sounds like christmas.
Egg nog.

But wait, all the ingredients are telling me that this isn't going to be my favorite drink.
Anyways, for the bunch of foreigners in this country celebrating Christmas,
Eggnog will be a good option.

I, again followed Jefferey's recipe.

2 Large eggs
-> Beat it for a minute in a blender
3 oz granulated sugar
-> Add it to a blender and beat it for an additional minute.
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 oz Brandy
2 oz Spiced rum
6 oz Whole milk
4 oz Heavy Cream

Pretty handful.
It wasn't very good for me, but I guess everybody else liked it.
Well paid effort.

Arnaud

1.5 oz Gin
1.5 oz Creme de Cassis
1.5 oz Dry Vermouth

Heard that it's after the name of some French Actress.

Sounds very berry, and yes, it is.
Strong scents of cassis and vermouth almost erases the
unwanted and unique smell of gin.

Pretty pleasant mix.
(though it isn't very much to my taste.)

Sunnier Sour

Right to my taste.
All the ingredients are of my favor. Couldn't go wrong, I guess.
Proportions are a bit quirky, but worth trying it.

4 oz. Club Soda
1 1/2 oz. Grapefruit Juice
1 1/4 oz. Dark Rum
1/2 tsp. Superfine Sugar
1/4 oz. Lemon Juice

Stinger

Leo without vermouth.
It was more predictable. And pretty much as expected.

Would be pretty good for those who like the taste of mint, and some heavy alcohol volume.

2oz Brandy
3/4oz White creme de menthe
-> Shake

Leo the Lion

I guess the source of my recipes are either of one, mostly.
One is from the comic book, and the other one is http://haromk2.egloos.com


Had no idea how it will come out, but it was better than I expected.
Pretty good. By the time, I had to believe the power of the brandy.

Dry Vermouth 2 oz
Brandy 1/2 oz
White mint 1tsp
(4:1:1/3)

Blood Orange

I don't even remember where I found this recipe, nor have I tried it yet.

Just for future reference.

Blood Orange
1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire Gin
.75 oz Campari
.75 oz dry vermouth
1.5 oz fresh orange juice
-> Shake

Spumoni

In a comic book that I mentioned earlier, it was written that there are some golden combination, that can never go wrong. One of them was grapefruit juice and tonic water.
Well, those two are my own preferred drinks, so why not try the recipe?
The name seems to be more frequently used to refer the italian desserts, but who cares.

Version found on the web:
3/4 Campari
1 part Grapefruit juice
1 part Tonic water

Version on the comic book:
Campari 2
grapefruit Juice 3 -> stir
+ Tonic Water

Campari Orange

I guess I have some issues with Campari. It's even more bitter than actual bitters to me.
I don't know it this is normal or not, but it's simply bitter.
Adding one part more of OJ gave me an acceptable balance between the bitterness and other flavors., but the resulting product doesn't qualify as an alcoholic drink, at least for me.


Campari 1
Orange Juice 3
->Stir
