Couple of recipes. Cosmo variations, basically:
Raspberry Cosmo:
1.5 oz. Vodka (I used Finlandia. Some sort of raspberry vodka (Smirnoff?) would probably be really good though) .5 oz. Raspberry pucker splash of Rose's lime splash of cran-raspberry juice (regular cran would probably work if cran-raspberry is unavailable) serve up in a chilled glass optional top with 7up
As of yet unnamed cocktail
1.5 oz Vodka .5 oz. Triple Sec splash of Rose's lime splash of pineapple juice serve up in chilled glass, top with orange soda
The nice thing about this one is that it can cut the taste of pretty much any vodka, no matter how shitty. I made it with Prestige, which is pretty much the worst vodka ever and it still tasted good. Any suggestions on a name for this one? I made it for the first time tonight, and haven't come up with anything yet. I think it's different enough from a regular cosmo to warrant a different name; plus, pineapple-orange cosmo is too much of a mouthful.

Hello everyone. A friend of mine has a sister who is having a 60's Lounge/Wedding Reception and needs ideas for it. I have a lot of ideas but what I would love everyone to do for me is compile your ideas, foods, drinks, music/songs you would use, party decor dresses, favorite retro webites etc and post them here for me. Any help is much appreciated. :)

6:45 pm - Vodka Caramel
|

When i was in France i came across a vodka caramel drink that is delicious and oooh so simple. Just take a vodka on the rocks and add a little caramel syrop to taste. I don't know what kind of syrop they were using there, but even a gloria jeans caramel syrop will work... i tried it! It worked quite nicely with stoli's, but honestly, they were serving it up in france with gordons! Its so tasty you just think you're sippin' on candy.
Also good as a shot, just fill 3/4 with vodka and top it off with the caramel!
Let me know what you think! So far i have gotten nothing but thumbs up, there were only a few who belived it was a little too sweet for their taste.

Some people have no appreciation of the simple beauty of a Frozen Strawberry Margarita on a Wednesday night ... especially when you miss measure the ice and only a beer stein will fit the whole thing.
Oh well, not my loss ... that margarita isn't going to waste.
(Recipe is just a regular margarita with a half and half mixture of ice & frozen strawberries .... yum!)

I went to do some more liquor shopping this weekend and I picked up some Dekuyper Buttershots. It's a butterscotch Schnapps liquer. It is sooo good! If you haven't tried it before and you're a fan of butterscotch, I highly recommend it. Yum!
On the downside, I went in search of Rose's Cocktail Infusions Mix and they did not have it. I have searched grocers, ABC stores, and a huge alcoholic beverage warehouse. They had just about everything you could think of except that. Anyone have any ideas where I could find this?

At a recent dinner party, I had the most delicious aperitif ever! It was made with Moscato D'Asti, a lightly carbonated Italian wine.
The recipe is very simple: 1 bottle Mosacto D'Asti with the juice of 5 limes. Serve in champagne glasses.
Delicious and refreshing!

A friend told me that the difference between cheap and expensive vodka is mainly charcoal filtering. A Brita or PUR filtering water pitcher does charcoal filtering and so my friend said putting the cheap vodka through one of these several times would improve the taste considerably. Has anyone heard of this? Is this worth a try?

Hi.
I was wondering if anyone had a good recipe for a Raspberry Margarita. I tried several weeks ago to make one on my own, but it did not turn out right. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Greetings everyone! I joined not too long ago and have just now gotten a chance to post. I actually was curious if anyone here knew of a place where I could get vintage inspired barware. I am looking specifically for collins glasses with nifty 50's designs. If anyone has any insight, let me know!
Thankyoo!
