COCKTAILS ~ {OFFICIAL CONTEST} thread for Cocktails only

I'm aware I do not qualify for the contest because I am staff, but I figured I'd make a post of one of my favourite beverages I was introduced to some years ago.

I'm also aware that I do not have a pic to post, as I do not have the items required in order to make it, however I can say it looks like strawberry kool-aid. As for the taste, it tastes like candy apple. It's sooo good (at least I think so)

BITCH SLAP
Yes… That is the actual name of the drink. If you have 3 or 4 of them in a night, you'll know why it has that name...

For one drink, mix the following together

2 shots (2 oz) Sour Puss Green
2 shots (2 oz) Sour Puss Red
2 shots (2 oz) Polar Ice Vodka (works best, but another brand will do the trick)

Serve chilled, and enjoy. It's guarentee'd to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Long Island Ice Tea

1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 part sour mix
Splash of Coke or Pepsi for color lol

Stir and pour over ice.

Part just means the same measurement, whether it's a shot, a 1/4 cup, a cup, just use the same part for all. I use a cup and make a huge batch for company.

You only need one!!!!

Here's a few – I don't go in for the new, insipidly sweet cocktails which came to dominate following the 70s (which is, regrettably, when gays also got their own social space without major legal sanctions and so followed us thither...)

#1)El Capitan (Chilean):
Combine equal parts Pisco and sweet/Italian/red vermouth. Add half to a third of a part lemon juice. Stir. Served neat.

#2) Sidecar Variant: (US, early 1900s)
Equal parts Metaxa 5 or 7, lemon juice and cointreau. Shake, strain, serve in a cocktail glass. This is related to the lemon drop but way stronger and not anywhere near as sweet. If you can't get Metaxa, feel free to use brandy.

#3) Harvey Wallbanger (great morning drink and good for beginners):
2 parts vodka
1 part Galliano (a sweet vanilla liqueur)
Orange juice to taste.

#4) Moscow Mule: (1930s-50s, USA)
1 part good, ice-cold vodka
1 part lime juice
Ginger-beer to taste. Stir/serve.

#5) The Aviation, my favourite (early US). The ingredients to find for this thing are often a bitch to get your hands on.
2 parts dry gin (2 oz)
1/4 part (1/2 oz) Maraschino liqueur
1/4 part Lemon juice
1/8 part (1/4 oz) Creme de violette
Shake it with ice, strain and serve with a cherry if you've a mind to. Done properly, this is the most amazing shade of blue-purple and just ever so slightly cloudy. Its taste is amazing.

When I create the pol for this category these will go in as 5 entries not 1. Technically the rules are 1 recipe per post . So we treat this as if it was 5 posts

Hey serenity,
You might want to be more specific than a "stick" of butter – in some places, a stick is a pound or a half pound and I know a lot of places have them way smaller than that?

Oh, and a good cold-weather drink:

Jaguar's Milk:
Combine 1 part milk with 1/2 a part condensed milk. Blend & chill.
Later on, add 1 part cachaca and 1 part creme de cacao (white/clear if you have it).
Serve with a garnish of cocoa powder if you want.
