POLL: Best cocktail ever?!
Answers: Lemme know ;)
***Let me give you some interesting facts and you decide which is the best cocktail in your opinion.***
Q. What's the most famous cocktail in the world?
A. Dry Martini, shaken not stirred, of course. This has been James Bond's tipple for over fifty years. The correct ingredients are three measures gin, half a measure dry martini, ice to strain it all over and an olive.
Q. Is there a cocktail that's good for a hangover?
A. Bloody Mary, containing vodka, tomato juice, a dash of lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and salt, is said to work wonders the morning after the night before. The vodka acts as a 'hair of the dog' but it's the minerals and citric acid in the tomato juice that really do you good.
Q. What's the sexiest cocktail?
A. Sex On The Beach is really pretty as it contains one measure of peach schnapps and one of vodka, and is topped up with orange and cranberry jiuce, with an orange wedge and a dash of lemon juice as well as ice. Even more blatant is Screaming Orgasm (one meaure vodka, half a measue Kahlua, one and half measures Irish Cream eg Bailey's).
Q. What is in a screwdriver?
A. Orange juice puts the screw in a Screwdriver, two measures to be precise, along with two measures vodka, ice and an orange slice.
Q. What's the prettiest cocktail?
A. Tequila Sunrise is one and a half measures of tequila with four measures of orange juice. Mix these two together well with ice, and then pour into a glass. Only then add half a measure of Grenadine very slowly so it falls to the bottom of the glass to give the sunrise effect. Blue cocktails are also very pretty. Blue Lagoon is three measures vodka, one measure blue curacao and top up with pineapple jiuce. Sapphire Martini is two measures gin, half a measure blue curacao, ice, and, if you can find one, a blue cocktail cherry.
Q. What's the most popular cocktail?
A. Gin and Tonic is the most ordered and is still classed as a cocktail. It is also so simple and versatile. Gin, tonic to taste, ice and a slice.
Q. What's the oddest cocktail?
A. Long Island Iced Tea because it contains no tea, just an exhausting list of half of one measure each of gin, white rum, tequila, vodka and triple sec. Just add lemon juice, ice, a lemon wedge, a dash of sugar syrup then top up with Coke.
***In my opinion its DRY MARTINI****
Silken Thomas (basically a Manhatten but made with Irish Whiskey and Martini Rosso).
I like many have you ever had a
Harvey Wallbanger?
I like a top shelf margarita or Makers Mark and 7up
Manhattan
Midori Illusions with contreau, vodka, midori, pineapple juice, soda water/lemonade, and crushed ice...
Asking a person their favorite cocktail is like asking your favorite color, or what type of shampoo do you prefer. My personal favorite is a Rob Roy, Scotch with a splash of sweet vermouth and two olives.
There are 2 I like. James Bond "Martini": Vodka, Noilly Prat Vermouth, lemon rind-shaken not stirred, of course. Garnished with anchovy olives. French "Martini": Chambord, Pieapple juice and vodka.
I like a Coconut cream pie.
3oz Cafe Boheme
2 oz coconut rum
shake all ingredients with ice strian and pour into a well chilled cocktail glass.
YUMMY
Mint Julep

Bourbon Manhattan, with a slight twsit.
2 oz Woodford
1/2 oz Campari (instead of angostura)
1/2 oz Cinzano Orancio.
Brandied cherry
Orange zest and it's lovely oils.
Perfect.
Sex on the Beach. It's tasty, yet strong, and so smooth when it goes down.
It has vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice. Here's a recipe.
