    Company is throwing a summer-ish party this Friday, and I is in charge of the drinks. Beer and wine has already been taken care of, so all I have to do is to find 5-6 cocktails for the bartender to make.

    I've already got:

    Mojito
    Whiskey sour

    There'll be people of quite different tastes, so I need to have something for everybody: strong, weak, sweet and sour, as well as a variety of flavours. Ideally they won't be *too* difficult to make, but doesn't have to be all rum and coke either.

    Any sure-fire hits in your repertoire?

    Everyone likes Long Island Ice tea - it's the Wheat Crunchies of the cocktail world. Piece of piss to make as well.

    The Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster

    ”Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit.


    ”Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V - Oh, that Santraginean sea water, it says. Oh those Santraginean fish!!!


    ”Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).


    ”Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it (in memory of all those happy Hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia).


    ”Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones; subtle, sweet, and mystic.


    ”Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian suns deep into the heart of the drink.


    ”Sprinkle Zamphour.


    ”Add an olive.


    ”Drink... but... very carefully...

    Chocolate Mudslide


    Start with a highball glass and swirl the inside of the glass with Chocolate Syrup before filling it with ice. Add 1 oz of Coffee Liqueur, 1 oz of Irish Cream, and 1 oz of Vodka. Fill the glass with Milk or Cream and serve.

    Grab your blender and add 1/2 cup of ice. Add 1 oz of Coffee Liqueur, 1 oz of Irish Cream, and 1 oz of Vodka. Add a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or Chocolate Ice Cream. You can add a little more Ice Cream or a little bit of Milk to make it just the right consistency. Swirl some Chocolate Syrup on the inside of a Collins glass before pouring your cocktail. Garnish with Chocolate Shavings or Chocolate Sprinkles for a finishing touch.

    Le Snakebite & Schwarz.

    - 250ml of the rarest German pilsner

    - 250ml of fresh, seasonal English apple cider

    - 25ml of a full bodied, fruity, Blackcurrant Cordial

    Mix, do not shake, and serve in a tall, cold, (pint) glass.

    The perfect summer drink!

    Chocolate Surprise

    Pour 1/2 pint of milk into a blender, along with some vanilla frappƩ powder, vanilla ice cream, Bailey's and a dozen ice cubes to form "soft peaks". Blend on "high" for 20 seconds then pour. Add in some chocolate sprinkles, and gently curl one out onto a Ginger snap and place on top.

    Serve.

    Any good ideas for whiskey-based drinks, apart from the whiskey sour?
  • Deleted user 17 August 2010 14:04:39
