Favorite, Suave or Unusual Cocktail Recipes
Brown Eyes:
Hey Buds,
I thought a thread dedicated to sharing interesting, unique or crazy cocktail recipes and mixology tips might be fun. For those of you who don't drink, feel free to contribute your favorite "virgin" recipes (or recipes without any alcohol) or fun smoothie recipes, soda fountain recipes, etc.
I'll start with my favorite whiskey recipe (not so crazy or unique... but it's definitely worth trying if you haven't already):
The good ol' Manhattan~ It's not too sweet and not too bitter.

NGREDIENTS:
* 1 1/4 oz bourbon whiskey
* 1/2 oz sweet vermouth
* 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
* maraschino cherry for garnish
PREPARATION:
1. Pour the ingedients into a mixing glass with ice cubes.
2. Stir well.

Great idea. I hope some people start posting. I do not drink much but keep a bottle of Grey Goose Vodka in the cupboard. It last for months and months on end. I usually just put some in snapple. How pathetic. So I have no recipes, unless that's a recipe. :P

That's a recipe.
I myself like baileys, tia maria and chocolate milk - but I have no idea what this cocktail is called!

Our friend MaineWriter wrote this little drabble about a drink Ennis and I enjoy...
Ennis chuckled to himself as he typed on the keyboard, hunting and pecking in his one-finger typing style.
“What are you laughin at?” asked Jack, looking up from the couch where he was still deeply engrossed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
“Oh nothing, just havin a lil bit a fun on this website.”
“What website?”
“Just one with recipes for drinks. Lots a comments here on this one called a Cosmopolitan. Sayin it’s a gay drink. I’m addin my two cents.”
“We ain’t ever had Cosmopolitans, En.”
“Yeah, well you better go buy the ingredients this afternoon cuz I just stated publicly that we like ta drink em. Sounds like ya can get good and snockered if ya have more than two of these.”
Jack got up and looked over Ennis’s shoulder. “Hm, lime juice, vodka, cranberry juice, Grand Marnier…we have all that in the house. I could make one right now.”
“Ya sure?”
“Sure, why not?”
“Well, see this other comment…they make ya horny.”
“Ya got a problem with that?” said Jack with a slow smile.
“Have I ever…?” said Ennis, as he got up from his chair.
