Hmmm . . . I get one drink named after a feminine hygiene product, and another with JUST enough alcohol in it to trick me into a two-day case of food poisoning.
That’s the last time I try to pull your “rosy Irish arse” outta the fire . . .
The Lux Fiat
This one should be BEYOND elegant. It should create a certain Glow. And it must be simple enough not to make NY bartenders laugh at you when you order it
2 oz Gin
2 dashes Dry Vermouth
2 dashes Peychaud Bitters
Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. (Angostura bitters may be substituted for the Peychaud’s.)
The Athena
Another after-dinner drink…a Greek variation on the Italian Sambuca tradition
Pour top-shelf Ouzo into a brandy snifter. Float three coffee beans on top.
The beefymeg
This one is obvious
1 1/2 oz Vodka
3 oz chilled beef boullion
dash Worcestershire
dash Salt
dash fresh-ground Pepper
Stir with ice and strain into an old-fashioned glass.
The Nen
2 oz Cognac
1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
Stir with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Elegant I like. I have now been canonized by SwimmingRiddles and received a book suggestion and a drink with my name on it. Methinks this is enough. I will refrain from pestering people in these threads from now on.
What is this, some kind of freakout??
The weirddave
This one was fun
1 1/2 oz Scotch
1/2 oz Peach Schnapps
1 oz Blue Curacao
3 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/2 oz/ Lemon Juice
Stir with ice and strain into a hurricane glass (or parfait glass) filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a slice of star fruit.
I too, have held back from getting in on this action, but can resist no longer!
Mix me a strong one, and make it pithy. 
The ValerieBlaise
Sweet yet feisty, with a kick. And cleavage
2 oz Tequila
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
1 tblsp Pineapple Juice
1 tsp Grenadine
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Uke, are you testing all of these like the cooks at Good Housekeeping try recipes before publishing them?
The Lucretia
Silent and deadly
2 oz. Gin
1 tsp Anisette
dash Dry Vermouth
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
I want to play.
Mine should probably have a dash of Labatt Blue in it.
Give me immortality, or give me death!
The phouka
Sweet and unassuming, shy and demure
2 oz. Sloe Gin
1 dash Orange Bitters
1 dash Sweet Vermouth
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
P.S. - The weirddave sounded kind of intriguing, like something I might try.
And I don’t mean that in an Esprix sort of way.
Give me immortality, or give me death!
Sweet and unassuming? Have you SEEN what phouka did to me in the Saint thread???
“I go on guilt trips a couple of time a year. Mom books them for me.” A custom made Wally .sig!
My iguana's sick.
He's all floppy. Could he have
Reptile dysfunction?
-Chef Troy, Haiku MasterIt’s astonishing what a fine job I’m doing, isn’t it? How each drink matches everyone’s personality perfectly?
Unc, I’m just tasting them and spitting out.
The Arnold Winkelreid
Here’s your cherry, plus some brandy to class things up
1 oz Kirschwasser
1 oz Cognac
1 oz Coffee
Stir with ice and strain into an old-fasioned glass over ice cubes.
This might just be my most favorite thread yet. “Top Shelf Ouzo” - I wasn’t aware there was such a thing…
The cher3
Fruitless, as requested
