Bong Water

Ok, this could be a shot, but it could also be a drink served in a tall glass. Probably better as a drink, but for a shot just half the portions:

  • .5 oz of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
  • .5 oz of peach schapps
  • .5 oz of Southern Comfort
  • .5 oz of Disarronno
  • .5 oz of blue curacao
  • .5 oz of Razzmatazz or Chambord
  • 2.0 oz of sour mix

Should come out greenish in color, and very potent. Like a Long Island Iced Tea, but for the younger crowd.

Blue Pacific Margarita

This is a new classic that you might find at Chili's, for example. Just a margarita with a twist - a bright blue tint.

Like with any margarita, you will need some fresh limes and a sunny day to bask in. Get your favorite margarita glassware out and try this:

  • 1.5 oz of tequila (recommended, Sauza Conmemorativo)
  • .5 oz of blue curacao
  • .5 oz of Cointreau
  • 3.0 oz of sour mix
  • some fresh squeezed lime

Toss contents into a shaker, mix and pour into glass over ice. Garnish with a lime and you have a blue margarita to partake of. Good for a change from the ordinary margarita.

Welcome! Nunc Est Bibendum!

Well, this blog is going to be my own personal blog about drinking - not being inebriated, but the fine art of drinking.

As a bartender, I have made the most potent of potables for many a potor. How exactly this blog is going to work is simple - I will add an entry based on the kind of drink it is with its recipe and maybe a little story as well about the drink itself. I welcome any comments you may have about the drinks and possibly any you might want to add. If you have a good time at the hands of one of these drinks, please feel free to let me know!

And now, as the Romans say (well, Horace did) "Nunc Est Bibendum" - now it is time for drinking!
