Comforting Tiger

I guess the name shouts out pretty well.

Strong enough to comfort the tiger, but has the flavor in it. Quite a fruity fragrance follows, too.
Not a drink for the people who thinks the cocktail is some juice containing alcohol.
Alcohol is boasting its existence very gravely. Well, how it can't. All the ingredients except
the ice has at least twice the alcohol content than the beer.

So, the recipe,

2 oz Brandy
1/2 oz Southern Comfort
1 tsp Sweet vermouth
Ice (preferably crushed)
-> Stir

Brandy Hot Toddy

Brandy or Rum 45 ml
Lemon Juice 15 ml
Maple Syrup 15 ml (if sugar 2 tsp, and I only had half of Maple syrup)

Can't help saying I had a bad day today. It was the due date of the rare homework of this semester's class. The fact that distressed me most is not that I wasn't good enough in coding to do a very good job on it, but that even in the most desperate moments I just couldn't concentrate less than I did today. That's a major disappointment.

Anyways, after the long abstinent with the alcohol (2 weeks!!), and having the meeting canceled, I decided to reward myself with a cup of warm cocktail. I was never a big fan of warm alcohol, but these days, my body calls for it. I couldn't make the hot chocolate because of the lack of the ingredients, so here it is, a lot more to my taste, and all ingredients on hand cocktail.

This one has very predictable taste, the one that I have been drinking for so long;; Just added brandy to it. However, I haven't tried it yet, but cheapest rum will do the same trick.

After 40 hours of battle with the distraction and digress of myself, I need a good rest.

Boston Side Car

Boston has its own side car.

3/4 oz Brandy
3/4 oz Triple Sec
3/4 oz White Rum
Juice of 1/2 Lime

Still playing around with the lime, but I think I discovered that drinking/eating lime makes my throat soar. It's a pity that I like the lime ;_;

Well, this variation didn't live up to its original, in my opinion.

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.

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)

Side Car, or Blue Fleet?

I guess Side car is one of the old classic cocktails that became a base for many.

It was a classic, and worked well on me. Nice fragrance of brandy with good sour lemon juice.
Frankly, can't find very much of the difference between blue and white curacao, thus I'll post the thing called blue fleet together.

Seems like the only difference there is the color of the curacao.

White/Blue Curacao 1
Brandy 1
Lemon Juice 1
-> Shake
