(Things Mike Has Made and Approves Of. A shot is 1.5oz)
| Drink Name | Recipe | Instructions | Comments |
| B-52 | 0.5oz Kahlua 0.5oz Irish Creme 0.5oz Grand Marnier |
Layer the three ingredients into a shotglass, starting with the Kahlua and ending with the Grand Marnier. Do not mix, and shoot all at once. | Expensive. We have tried Chambord in place of the Grand Marnier, and it is very good as well (Chambord is heavier than Kahlua). |
| Dry Martini | 2.0oz Gin 0.5oz Dry Vermouth Olive |
Mix the two liquors in a shaker, add ice, shake, and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with olive. | We used Bombay Sapphire for gin. (Better if 'shaken, not stirred'). Sip slowly. |
| Sex on the Beach | 1.5oz Vodka 1.0oz Peach Brandy 2.0oz Orange Juice 2.0oz Cranberry Juice |
Mix all ingredients together, serve in a tumbler over ice. | This is the 'fake' recipe, and is an alternative to the other recipe. One can use peach schnapps instead of peach brandy. |
| Downhome Punch | 1.0oz Whiskey 1.0oz Peach Schnapps 2.0oz Sweet and Sour 2.0oz Orange Juice Top with Sloe Gin |
Mix all ingredients together, serve in a tumbler over ice. Add enough sloe gin to color. | Use good whiskey, like Jack Daniels. Tastes like fruit punch. |
| Kamikaze | 1.0oz Vodka 1.0oz Triple Sec 1.0oz Lime Juice 1.0oz Sweet and Sour |
Mix all ingredients together, serve in tumbler over ice. Garnish with cherry, orange, lemon, or lime. | Yeah I wrote this recipe. Serve very cold. Originally, the recipe called for 1.5oz of each ingredient, but it turned out too large. |
| Cosmopolitan | 2.0oz Vodka 1.0oz Triple Sec 1.5oz Cranberry Juice 0.5oz Lime Juice |
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass. | Use good vodka, because it's mostly vodka. This is best if shaken. |
| Lynchburg Lemonade | 1.0oz Whiskey 1.0oz Sweet and Sour 1.0oz Triple Sec 2.0oz Lemon-Lime soda |
Mix all ingredients together, serve in a tumbler over ice. Soda water can be substituted for lemon-lime soda. | Use good whiskey, like Jack Daniels. |
| Sex on the Beach | 0.5oz Raspberry Liquor 0.5oz Melon Liquor 0.5oz Liquor 1.0oz Pineapple Juice Top with Cranberry Juice |
Mix all ingredients together, serve in a tumbler over ice or in a large shotglass | This is the 'real' recipe, and is an alternative to the other recipe. Strange that they both taste similar. |
| Dirty Martini | 2.0oz Gin 0.5oz Dry Vermouth 0.5-1.0oz Olive Brine 2 Olives |
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with two olives. | Use good gin, such as Bombay Sapphire. If it's too salty, use less olive brine. |
| Crantini | 1.5oz Vodka 0.5oz Triple Sec 0.5oz Sweet Vermouth 4.0oz Cranberry Juice Cranberries |
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with cranberries | This is like a cranberry flavored martini. It's weaker than a cosmopolitan, but it has vermouth. |
| Sloe Gin Fizz | 2.0oz Sloe Gin 0.5oz Lemon Juice Fill with Soda Water Orange, Lemon, Cherry |
Mix all ingredients (except soda water) into a tumbler with ice. Fill with soda water and stir once. Garnish with orange, lemon, and or cherry. | Sloe gin tastes like cough syrup, but it's really good in this recipe. |
| Oatmeal Cookie | 1.0oz Irish Cream 1.0oz Goldschlager |
Mix ingredients together into a shotglass. Serve chilled. | It really does taste like an oatmeal cookie. |
| French Martini | 2.0oz Vodka 1.0oz Pineapple Juice 0.25oz Chambord |
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass. | Use good vodka, because that's mostly what it is. |
| Chambord and Vodka Splash | 0.5oz Vodka 0.5oz Chambord Soda Water Orange |
Mix the two liquors, and pour into a martini glass half-filled with ice. Fill with sparkling water and garnish with an orange slice. | Much weaker than a martini. Do not shake with soda water. No real need to even stir with soda water. |
| Chambord Vodka Tonic | 1.0oz Vodka Splash Chambord Tonic Water Lime |
Splash Chambord into a glass with ice, add the vodka, then fill with tonic water. Stir once, and garnish with lime. | A great alternative to gin and tonic. |
| Chambord Irish Raspberry | 0.5cup Cracked Ice 1.0oz Irish Cream 1.0oz Chambord Whipped Cream Raspberry, Strawberry |
Put ice into a champagne glass, add the liquors, and top with whipped cream and berries | The ice is necessary to thin the drink out. This drink looks good. |
| Grateful Dead | 0.5oz Vodka 0.5oz Rum 0.25oz Tequila 0.5oz Gin 0.5oz Blue Curacao 1.0oz Melon 1.0oz Black Raspberry 1.5oz Sour Mix |
Mix all liquors into a glass with ice, and top with lemon-lime soda. | |
