I'm generally a Guinnes and a good shot of Catholic Whiskey kinda guy, but always enjoy a good new coctail. While in Portland in late June (to see TN of course) I found this one:

The Confession

1 1/2 Shots of good white tequilla
1 1/2 Shots of Lemoncella
1/4 Squeezed Lime
1/4 Squeezed Lemon
Add Spicy Ginger Ale in a large glass (pint is fine) with ice
stir and enjoy.

Any other good drinks out there?

I'm a big fan of the mojito, but recently, I've gotten into drinking a simple cocktail that's delicious and easy to make, the Comfort-A-Bull.

1 shot Southern Comfort.
1 shot Amaretto.
1/2 can Red Bull.
Splash of cranberry juice.
Garnish with a slice of lime.

Not particularly strong, but it certainly gets you going.

Mmmmm.

How bout :

The Natural:

2-3 shots of the cheapest Whiskey you can find,
1 1/2 full squeezed lemons.
1 1/2 packets of Splenda
Water into a Tall glass.

The best way to mix this is to Mix the splenda with water first until disolved and then add the whiskey, and then add the lemon and shake well.

0 Carbs, 0 Cals and it will really sneak up on you. Also called "The Willie Special".

Note: You will not taste the cheap whiskey.

I'm strictly a beer drinker myself, but last time I was at the bar, the guys at the next table were all drinking something in tall glasses that was bright blue. I said, "What the hell are they drinking?" and my friend promptly went over and asked, one of them gave her a taste, she went up to the bar and came back with one and I tried it. Something called an Aqua Velva - it tasted like melted Sweet-tarts. Not bad. No idea what was in it though!

I don't know any off the top of my head, but am quite enjoying this thread for research! Might do some kind of themed party...

My roomie just bought a bottle of malibu and I'm planning on steling it. Someone got any nice recepies?

Malibu goes awesome with pineapple juice. If you can get hold of some melon liquer, add 1oz. of it to 2oz. of Malibu, and add pineapple juice and cranberry juice over ice. Delicious. Alternately, drink it with ice-cold milk and three teaspoons of cocoa powder. Or, add 1oz white rum to 2oz malibu and mix with 7up if you just want something strong.

Im definately trying with pineapple juice tonight!
