Drink of the Day: Hurricane

Here is the absolute best recipe if you get to the party late & need to play some catch up! Walk into most bars and ask them for their strongest mixed drink & what do they give you? Yup, a Hurricane! White 4+ oz. of good alchohol, it is sure to get you spinnin’ quick! It even has its own glass, the “hurricane glass” of course. As with all mixed drinks the recipe varies from place to place, but check out how its done right. Read on for the recipe…

Drink of the Day: Fourth of July Shot

I am not necessarily saying that this drink is any good… But, it is cool looking & is very patriotic!

In a shot glass (or double shot glass) layer the below liquors in that exact order. The best method to layering you ask? Pour each flavor over an upside down spoon.

• 1 part Blue Curacao
• 1 part Grenadine
• 1 part Vodka

Layer it, salute it, sloose it!

Drink of the Day: Jager Bomb

  Uh-oh! Enough said right there… This is a very fun drink to do with a bunch of friends when you feel like getting crazy, of if the night is starting to drag a little bit. The purpose you ask…? To get drunk & hyper, of course.
  Some places will mix the ingredients already for you, but don’t let them! Ask for the Jager’ in a shot glass on the side! this is just like a Irish Car Bomb for all of you “connoisuers” out there…. Continue on for how to do it at home.

Drink of the Day: Mojito

  Probably THE summer drink to consume. The Mojito is good in the morning, day, & night. The reason i chose the Mojito today is because I got back from a very relaxing trip to Palm Springs. I was laying back at the pool at the Marriot Shadow Ridge resort drinking mojitos and attempting a summer tan. My experience with the Mojito is quite varied, from disgusting to out of this world.
  The beauty of this cocktail are the numerous varieties that can be created with different flavors of rum & even different types of alcohol (champagne, beer, etc.). I am in love with the original concoction though, so I will list how it is done right below. But feel free to give your input of what is your Mojito. My two favorite places to drink Mojitos are @ O-Bar in West Hollywood & The Cheesecake Factory.  Continue on for more…

Friday, June 29th Happenings

Friday night, Friday night, c’mon & let’s do it right! All right, so I’m not a poet, I get it! To be perfectly honest, I really haven’t been going out on Friday nights as much as I used to. I have begun to start my weekend early on Thursday & party too hard… Pace yourself, gosh! And again I am going to miss this very hot night in LA, because I will be in Palm Springs for some golf & cocktails. But, don’t fret I will report back any good findings from the desert.

Now on to the events!

Drink of the Day: Long Island Ice Tea

Looks innocent doesn’t it? It’s a great summer drink & is quite refreshing… but don’t be fooled. When I was first starting my drinking experience I always avoided the L.I.I.T. because I had always thought that it was a girly drink. I mean, ice tea? Boring, especially when there are drinks like the Jager Bomb & the Alabama Slamma. Against my better manly judgment, i tried one, two, three, fuor, fife… oh wow, am i durkn. After a few, you will be feeling it, I guarantee it! Don’t underestimate the power of Lipton ice tea.

Just mix the below ingredients over ice, pour it in my favorite class, the Collins glass & add garnish (lemon or pineapple)if you feel so inclined.  The beauty of a Long Island Ice Tea is that it tastes like ice tea! The greatest experience you can have with a Long Island is to use only top-shelf liquors for it. What a difference! Sure, the bar way is fine, but when you has for a Top-Shelf L.I.I.T. you know you have it made!
Remember: Stir it, pound it, sloose it!

Drink of the Day: 7 & 7

Nice & simple today: Seven and Seven
My favorite drink of all. Call me plain, I don’t care. But, oh wow, the beautiful golden liquid in that highball glass. Goes down incredibly smooth with a touch of bite. There’s just something about that Canadien whiskey, eh?

Ingredients:

• 1 shot Seagram’s 7
• 6 oz. 7-up
• Ice (duh!)
• highball glass
  Mix it, drink it, sloose it!
