Long-time favorite: Manhattan on the rocks

2.5 oz bourbon whiskey
0.5 to 0.75 oz sweet vermouth
1 dash of bitters
1 maraschino cherry
1 orange peel twist

When I make them at home, I usually only have the bourbon and sweet vermouth. Occasionally, I'll have some cherries on hand. Almost never have the bitters nor do I go to the trouble of making an orange peel twist. Those are luxuries reserved for the cocktail lounge.

I don't consider the bitters to be optional. Try half sweet vermouth, half dry vermouth sometime. It takes the rest of the sweetness out of the drink. :thumbsup:

I really like Red Bull & vodkas and Grape Nehis (though I've no idea how one makes the latter).

Green Tea Martini:

1 part green tea liqeur
2 parts ginger infused vodka (slice up ginger, put in vodka for a week or more, strain)

Come on guys I know you got more than that!


Recent fav is Kahlua and Milk or Kahlua and Half n Half.

Just 1/2 parts of each put in shaker to mix and then pour in a large shot class over an ice cube.
