I was watching $40 a day last night & ran across this fabulous drink called the Babylon Spice Drink, and it made me want to find other fabulous, delicious drinks.

I know ... I can't wait to try it ... here's the recipe (you can also find it on foodnetwork.com):
Babylon Spice Drink (served at the Hookah Lounge in Las Vegas)
2 ounces fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 ounces rum
Ice cubes
1/2-ounce coconut milk
4 ounces mango juice
1-ounce grated coconut
1 maraschino cherry, for garnish
1 slice orange, for garnish
Soak the ginger in the rum for 24 hours. Place ice in a cocktail shaker. Add the ginger-rum mixture, coconut milk, and mango juice to the shaker. Shake well and strain into a large cocktail glass. Serve with a topping of the grated coconut, a cherry, and an orange slice on the lip of the glass. Serve immediately.

i don't drink sweet stuff ... if you notice, most of the drink i make are only mixed w/ one thing (probably one type of juice - w/ lime or soda) ... but I HATE SUGARY, GIRLY DRINKS. if i drink concoctions that have more stuff in them, they're usually tropical and or spicy.

I'd advice going on http://www.1001cocktails.com/recipes... and searching by ingredients or whats in your bar. That's how i found all my favorite cocktails.
How about blueberry Stohli and pineapple juice?
What's the Babylon Spice Drink? It sounds fabulous, please give me the recipe!
My brothers specialties:
Appletini - Absolut & Apple Pucker
Caramel Appletini - Absolut, Apple Pucker, & Buttershots
How about a Raspberry Beret? Made like a Cosmo except substitute Cranberry-raspberry juice and Raspberry Liqour for the orange liqour. A lil' sweet but yummy for dessert.
It sounds like you drink sweet stuff. This is a recipe for a layered drink. It is called Sex with an Alligator. Its yummy and you don't need a whole lot to make it. Have fun and drink responsibly.
You need:
1 martini glass
1 tin 1/2 filled with ice (no tin? use tall glass)
1 ice strainer (no strainer? Use small cheese grater)
1 jigger melon schnapps
1 jigger rum (regular or malibu)
pineapple juice
red grenadine w/ pourer
blue caracao w/ pourer (with or w/out alcohol)
In tin combine melon schnapps, rum and a splash of pineapple juice. Shake, but not vigorously, and strain into martini glass leaving about 3/4inch of space at top.
Bring tip of grenadine pourer to edge of glass but do not pour yet. Slowly pour a little bit of grenadine down side of glass. This should allow the red to flow to the bottom and layer. Make sure there is still 1/2 an inch of space at top of glass.
Next pour a little caracao slowly and this will layer at the top.
Serve and enjoy this beautiful drink. It may take a little practice but once you got it down, everyone is gonna want one.
Try a earthquake it's 1/3 Pernod 1/3 Vodka 1/3 Whisky it taste brilliant but beware the name should warn you.
For the maries, try mixing old bay and kosher salt together and then use a lime on the rim of the glass and dip the glass in the mixture.
For a different drink, I bartend on the weekends and this one woman always wants a new and unique drink. The last one was a lemon kiss martini.
