Blue Russian Kiss

Blue Russian Kiss

via Webtender

This drink is yummy.  I mean, yummy.  One, I found a new love for champagne after needing something "fun and bubbly" to go with chocolate covered strawberries at the end of spring semester last year.  This drink is not only yummers (and boyfriend approved), but it's my favorite color!

  • 4oz dry champagne
  • 1/2oz blue curacao
  • 1oz vodka
Shake the vodka and blue curacao over ice, pour into the bottom of a champagne glass (I use trumpet glasses, they hold 6oz).  Pour champagne into glass, and watch the bubbly blue-ness in your glass.  Enjoy!

Dirty Bong Water Drink

More Drinks!

"Dirty Bong Water"

what a terrible name

As part of alcohol walkabout week, I used webtender's "In My Bar" feature, and I got 125 drinks using the 47 ingredients I already had (a lot, I know, right?), 866 using 1 other (not necessarily the same one other) ingredient, 1537 adding 2 additional ingredients, and 1125 with 3 additional... a total of 3653.  That'd have me busier for MUCH more than just a week.

The first drink I have never actually tried before is the title of this post, dirty bong water.  It's a terrible name, but it turns out blue and tasty just the same.

  • 1oz raspberry liqueur (chambord or di amore)
  • 1oz blue curacao
  • 1oz amaretto (disaronno or di amore)
  • 1oz spiced rum (Captain Morgan)
  • 1oz sweet and sour mix
Shake over ice, pour and enjoy.

Blackjack Margarita Drink

Blackjack Margarita

I don't know about you, but not long after I turned 21, tequila and I became good friends.  I don't have many horror stories about my 21st birthday (other than it took me 6 months to drink another appletini), but I really like drinking tequila.  Patron's my favorite, but 1800 is also some flippin good stuff.  Since it's my spring break, and my boyfriend is pretty much a "beer only" kinda guy, we agreed to do an alcohol walk-about (modified reference from 30 Rock). 

So tonight, I'm having a Blackjack margarita.

Ingredients
  • 2oz Tequila
  • 1oz Raspberry Liqueur (Chambord or di Amore)
  • 1oz Triple Sec
  • 4oz Sweet & Sour
Pour all in a shaker over ice, I shake it up until the container feels cold, then pour it in a nice margarita glass and enjoy!

21st Birthday Shots

21st Birthday Shots - Wish I'd done 'em Back Then

via Jessica Spengler

Washington Apple
Now this one I've done, but not as a shot, just a normal drink.

Ingredients:
  • 1/3oz Crown Royal
  • 1/3oz Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps
  • 1/3oz Cranberry Juice
  • Splash of 7-Up/Sprite
Pour Crown, Pucker, and Cranberry juice into shaker.  Shake it up, pour it in your glass, and top with your lemon-lime soda of choice.  Enjoy!

Apple Jack
Again, I've done this one as a drink, not a shot.  I like it a lot :-)  Except I usually substitute in something else for the Jack Daniels (not a huge fan of the flavor).

Ingredients:
  • 1/2oz Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps
  • 1/2oz Jack Daniels
Shake up, pour, and enjoy!

Hot Apple Pie
I've never had this one, or anything else with Goldschlagger in it, after someone tries it you'll have to tell me how it tastes.

Ingredients: 
  • 1/2oz Baileys (or some other Irish Cream)
  • 1/2oz Goldschlagger Cinnamon Schanpps
  • Dash of Cinnamon
Cherry Cheesecake
Haven't tried this one either.  Sounds interesting though!

Lemon Drop
I've had this as a martini... it was tasty :-D

Ingredients:
  • 1/2oz Vodka (Absolut is my preference)
  • 1/2oz Lemon Juice
  • 1 sugar cube
Coat the rim of the glass w/ granulated sugar (usually dipping your finger in water and running it over the rim then dipping it in a pile of sugar works).  Drop a sugar cube into the bottom of the glass, shake up the vodka and lemon juice, pour and serve!

Irish Car Bomb
The bomb part is the important part to note here, it's made the same way as a Jager bomb (just different ingredients obviously).

Ingredients:
  • 3/4pint Guinness
  • 1/2oz Irish Cream (Bailey's is my preference)

Pour the cream, then the whiskey into a shot glass.  Pour the Guinness into a pint glass or beer mug, 3/4 way full and let it settle.  Then drop in the shotglass, and slam!

Jager Bomb
I personally don't like Jager, but I have done it before and I prefer substituting Monster for Red Bull.

  • Can of Red Bull/Monster (equal parts of Monster if you're substituting... not the whole thing!)
Pour Red Bull into glass, drop shot of Jager down and slam.
