Caipirinha





  • 5.0 cl (1⅔ fl oz) cachaça

  • ½ Lime cut into 4 wedges (or tahiti lime, but not green lemon)

  • 2 teaspoons crystal or refined sugar


Place lime and sugar into old fashioned glass and muddle (mash the two ingredients together using a muddler or a wooden spoon). Fill the glass with crushed ice and add the Cachaça.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caipirinha#cite_note-1][2][/url]

Vesper martini:



3 to 1 to 1/2 parts Gin, Vodka and Lillet Blanc.  I suggest Hendricks and Absolut or Stoli.  Get it very cold, shake it hard if you want it diluted, stir if you want it strong.  




Garnish with a lemon twist.




Yes, it's from James Bond (though Kina dry Lillet isn't made anymore and was more bitter than today's, and Hendricks isn't your typical gin), but it's also a killer martini.

Vodka and orange juice
Take orange juice freeze into Ice cubes
Put oj cubes in glass to top fill airspaces with vodka. Sip slowly. Stir as melt occurs.

Liquorice shake:
Breyers premium vanilla ice cream
milk
anisette
make a milk shake season with anisette to taste.

This will take multiple tries to get right. You have to mix in the anisette in the blender with the milk and ice cream.

Kahlua can be substituted for the anisette.

Happy drinking

I don't care for gin at all and I've tried the tradtional martini recipe, and it doesn't work for me, but I spent alot of time figuring out a cocktail based on the "vodka" martini that fits my taste.

I call it "The Smoking Gun".  I based it of a drink known as the "silver bullet"
3 parts Vodka (I use Stolichnaya)
1 part dry vermouth (I've used several so no preference)
1/2 Bourbon (seems good with Makers Mark, J.D., or single malt scotch)
Shake all with ice that is fresh and not sitting in the freezer for 2 weeks and strain into a cocktail glass.  I garnish with three green olives.

Let me know if any of you try it.

These.  Except that's way too much vermouth in the martini.  A couple of drops is plenty.  
No.  My recipe is a martini.  You have been drinking straight gin.

You can't get a good Martini at a bar.  They use Martini & Rossi and it is usually old because people learned to order Martini's by watching TV.  Martini & Rossi, especially stale & old, taste like fish.  It's horrible.  Cinzano Vermouth is very good and gives a Martini a crisp, dry snap.

Cool.  Refrigerate the Cinzano after opening.  You can even refrigerate it before making the Martini, less dilution from the ice that way.





I use the 2:1 ratio as is traditional.  3:1 might also work.  But they are really getting carried away with the Hawkeye Pierce thing when they rinse the glass with vermouth and throw it out.



Bombay Sapphire is good gin.  However, Tanqueray holds it's own in a Martini better.  Much stronger flavors.

Here's something I came up with.  I mix up a big batch of it for an annual party at my place and put it into one of those round coolers with a spigot and a ziplock bag full of ice (keeps it cold without watering it down).  You can either drink it as a shot, or mix it ~50/50 with club soda (plain or lemon-lime flavored) and drink it on the rocks with a slice of lime in it (my preferred method of drinking it).  

Limey Bastard

1 part Bacardi white rum
1 part Myers Dark rum
1 part triple sec
1/2 part Bacardi 151
2 parts Rose's Lime Juice
3 parts fresh squeezed lime juice

For a single drink, I'll use a half-jigger measure following the ratios above, shake well with ice and then pour into a tall glass with ice.  Top off with lemon-lime club soda, run a lime slice around the rim and then throw it in the drink.  Very refreshing for a hot day.

My personal favorites:

Long Island Ice Tea-Lots of ingredients, very strong, very fun to play with. You can mix it a million different ways with a million different variations on mix, liquors, and everything else. I always try to get mine to look exactly like, and even taste a bit, like iced tea. With practice and variations it is amazing how close you can get.

GIN martini-As another poster mentioned, a vodka martini.........isn't. Quality gin, wash an ice cold martini glass with dry vermouth, don't be stingy with the olives and enjoy. A dirty martini isn't too bad either. Well mixed and served properly it should really not have much, if any, bite. Will be fairly smooth and have that 'sophisticated' taste you are after. However, martini's are almost dead. Here is how the conversation usually goes when ordering one:

"Yes, I would like a martini, three olives."

"Sure! What kind of vodka would you like?"

"No, I ordered a martini. Bombay Sapphire now that you mention it."

"Isn't that gin? What type of vodka would you like?"

"No, a GIN martini. A real one. Made with gin and vermouth."

"Really??? That sounds weird. But okay, I'll ask the barkeep."

Lastly, another poster mentioned a good imported vodka taken straight. Not a bad idea. Good, original Russian vodka doesn't taste anything like it's western counterparts (top shelf included). Different brands have a very distinctive flavor and taste. Goes down a lot smoother than the ole' Absolut or Gray Goose. It is a drink unto itself. Serve chilled with no ice or anything else.
