Try a Hanky Panky, It's Not What It Sounds Like

6/28/2023

A Hanky Panky is a cocktail (apparently) that I had to research for a recent event.
I was nervous about this one. If you're a normie, don't try this.

1/4oz (7ml) Fernet
1.5oz (45ml) Sweet Vermouth
1.5oz (45ml) Gin
STIR - because it's clear
Julep strain into coupe

Let's Go On The Greyhound!

This was a super simple and easy to make. Very similar to a Salty Dog, except it's not salty. A good beginner for anyone learning to be a bartender.

3 oz (90 ml) Grapefruit
2 oz (60 ml) Tequila

Let's Go On A Jungle Ride!

We're about to make a Jungle Bird! Yes, you heard that right, and in front of my own little handmade jungle background.

Now I feel like watching Jungle Cruise. Haha!
P.S. Don't forget to shake it.

1/2oz (15ml) Lime Juice
1oz (30ml) Pineapple Juice
3/4oz (22ml) Campari
1.5oz (45ml) Goslings
Shaaaaaaaaake!!!

Let's Make a Martinez Stir

6/15/2023

Why stir? Basically if the drink is CLEAR, you STIR. AKA just spirits. If the drink has CITRUS or is CLOUD, you shake. Hope that makes sense. If not, please don't yell at me. :P

2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
1/4oz (7ml) Maraschino Liqueur
3/4oz (22m) Sweet Vermouth
1.5oz (45ml) Gin
STIR. JULEP. COUPE.

And This Is Why I Drink...

YOU WANT SOME INSIGHT INTO MY MIND!? HERE IT IS!!! A Mint Julep is bourbon with sugar and mint. Ok relax. That's basically an Old Fashioned.

P.S. My teacher sucked for making everyone tell me one thing they didn't like about me.

2 oz (60 ml) Bourbon
1/2 oz (15 ml) Simple Syrup

An Old Cuban, A Drink Not Person....

People really are just starting to make stuff up at this point. LOL. Also, the first time I heard someone call a mojito a "mo-JI-toe". Interesting.... To each their own. Haha!

1oz (30ml) Lime Juice
3/4 Simple (22ml) Simple (1:1 ratio)
1.75oz Rum (52ml) Rum Fresh Mint
Shake and double strain into a coupe!
Top with Chaaaaaaaampagne.

Let's Meet an Old Pal, Shall We... :)

My favorite drink is a Negroni, so give this a crack!
Would you recommend this to somebody?

1oz (30ml) Campari
1oz (30ml) Dry Vermouth
1oz (30ml) Rye Whiskey
STIRE UNTIL COLD! You can serve UP or on a big rock.

Revolver with Orange Bitters?? What??

6/2/2023

Shake and strain into a coupe. Or a Nick & Nora. And I swear it's only 1 dash of orange bitters. But I mean, you could do 2 if you're feeling spicy. ;P

1/2oz (15ml) Kahlúa
2oz (60ml) Bourbon
ONE dash of Orange Bitters

Don't Be So Salty... Dog :P

6/2/2023

Not gonna lie, I was a little surprised. It's really not as bad as I had thought. But... never forget to rim a Salty Dog! Trust me. Enjoy!! :)

And use fresh grapefruit juice. Don't say I didn't warn you. ;)

3 oz (90ml) Grapefruit Juice
2 oz (60 ml) Vodka
