Dave's Cocktail Page

This is a list of cocktails that Dave has liked or found interesting. They are in no order, except perhaps roughly the order of having tried them. They are sourced from various places including the 'net (of course), bartenders, etc. Sometimes there are different recipes that go under the same name, so the one included is the one tried. Anyway, on with the show.



Hummingbird

Ingredients:

1 Measure Rum Cream Liqueur
1 Measure Coffee Liqueur
1 Measure Milk
1/2 Measure Strawberry Syrup
1/2 Banana
1 Cup Crushed Ice

Instructions:

Throw everything in the blender and blend well until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.

Drink served in Jamaica, perfect for drinking while sitting by the caribbean.
If you don't have Rum Cream Liqueur, Bailey's works almost as well.


Black Russian

1 Measure Vodka
1 Measure Coffee Liqueur
Cola to taste

Instructions:

Mix everything in a tall glass with ice.

1 Measure Blue Curacao
1.5 Measures Melon liqueur

3.5 Measures Oranje Juice
1 Measure Pineapple Juice

1 Measure Tequila
1 Measure Triple Sec
1 Measure Rum
1 Measure Gin
1.5 Measure Lemon Juice
1 Splash Coke

Instructions:

Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into shaker and give ONE brisk shake. Pour back into glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.

The original and favourite cocktail ;). Great stuff.


Bloody Mary

Ingredients:

1 part Vodka
2 drops Tabasco
2 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
Pepper
Tomato Juice

Instructions:

In a glass with ice pour all the ingredients and fill with Tomato Juice.


Blue Hawaiian

Ingredients:

1 part White Rum
1 part Malibu
1 part Blue Curacao
Fill with Pineapple Juice

Instructions:

Mix all the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker, shake and strain over ice into a tall glass.


Mai Tai

Ingredients:

1 part White Rum
1.5 parts Triple Sec
Dash of Grenadine
Fill with 1/3 Orange Juice and 2/3 Pineapple Juice
Float of Myers's Jamaican Rum

Instructions:

Build in a large glass over ice in the order given above.

This isn't really a Mai Tai, since the original requires things like Orgeat syrup and Rock Candy syrup (whatever that is). The above is a tasty substitute.


Tequila Sunrise

Ingredients:

2 parts Tequila
Fill with Orange Juice
1 dash Grenadine

Instructions:

Pour tequila and orange juice into a glass over ice. Gently pour in the grenadine to create a sunrise-like effect.


Absolut Kurant Shamrock (Dave style)

Ingredients:

1 parts Absolut Kurant Vodka
1 parts Melon Liqueur (Midori)
Fill with Pineapple Juice

Instructions:

Pour equal but generous parts of Vodka and Midori into a glass over ice and fill with Pineapple Juice.

This is adapted from a recipe given on the Absolut Vodka web site, but that recipe defines a ratio of 3/3/10 for vodka/midori/pineapple juice and also instructs to fill with soda water. I prefer my version. :)
