Drink Tonight

What should you drink tonight? A different cocktail each time.
Banana Ball #99bananas #banana #liqueur #vodka #orangejuice #cocktails #mixology #bananaball    3 parts banana liquer 4 parts vodka 8 parts oj.    Mix together over ice & serve.   As prepared its a little too #sweet for our tastes, so a splash of lime juice added a perfect balance of #acidity. Even though spring just started, this brings up images of the beach, sun, and #summertime.

Vieux Mot #vieuxmot #gin #stgermain #simplesyrup #lemontwist #lemonjuice #cocktails #mixology   Combine ingredients in cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into chilled coupe. Top with #maraschino #cherry.
This cocktail is excellent and well balanced, but definitely on the sweeter side. Would be amazing frozen/blender style for summer parties.

Fermented Orgeat syrup #oops #yuck #donttrythisathome    So one of the downsides of making your own, #natural, sans-preservative simple syrups is that they DO have a limited shelf life. This homemade #orgeat was delicious… About a month ago. Forgotten in the back of the fridge. As a rule, don’t keep your homemade syrups more than a few weeks, and especially not #orgeat because the fats from the almond quickly become rancid.

Holiday Hopper #midori #cremedecacao #halfnhalf #peppermintschnapps #holidayhopper #candycane #garnish #mixology #cocktails   1 part Midori 1/2 part peppermint schnapps 1/2 part creme de cacao 2 parts half & half.  This tastes like the best milkshake you’ve ever had. Slightly minty, slightly chocolatly, very creamy and smooth. Very highly recommended for an after-dinner holiday drink.

Orange 43 #licor43 #orangejuice #orange43 #cocktails #mixology
3 oz orange juice
1 oz Licor 43
Combine ingredients over ice.

3 parts OJ, one part Licor 43. Tastes like orange cake. Very sweet, so if I were to tweak it I’d add some lemon juice for balance and vodka for strength.

Mean Green Winter Machine #midori #vodka #triplesec #limejuice #cocktails #drinks
Equal parts…
Midori melon liqueur 
Vodka
Triple Sec/Cointreau (if you want to get fancy)
Fresh Squeezed lime juice
Combine ingredients in ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well, and strain into ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish with whatever looks festive — the cranberries on the skewer above are just for show.
This recipe is so easy to multiply for larger quantities (equal parts each ingredient), and the Midori gives it such a festive color that simple #garnishes are all you need for a perfect #holidayparty libation. I’ve been obsessed with Midori for this reason, so expect a few more holiday cocktails featuring this versatile, melon-flavored liqueur.
