Making mixed drinks at home.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I recommend idrink.com or webtender.com for mixed drink recipes.

My favorite thing though is margaritas both mexican (tequilla & triple sec) and italian (add in a shot of amaretto to the regular margarita). For a shaker I got a cute stainless one with a blue lid at marshalls for $10 that match my martini glasses I got at Crate & Barrel.

For glass wear I think it just depends on what you like and what you want to drink. though I do use my martini glasses for margaritas.

For something really sweet I recommend amaretto sours. They taste like pure candy. Chocolate martinis are good. I really like pineapple martinis (sometimes called pineapple upside down). Sex on the Beach is ok.

Mojitos! Best drink ever and easy to make. Just search the web for a recipe or bacardi.com has one on their site.

Margaritas are super easy to make too. You can even buy those ready to drink ones that you just throw in a blender w/ice.

I also used to love to buy Malibu Rum and mix it w/orange juice or diet coke for a quick drink.

ok, mixed drinks are my specialty since i don't drink beer. here are my favorites:

Cosmopolitan: 1 oz Stoli Vodka, 1 oz Cointreau, Small dash Cranberry Juice, Small dash Lime Juice

Seven and Seven: 1 Shot Seagram's 7, 6oz Seven UP, Ice, a Small Lime Wedge

Bailey's and Coffee: 1 Part Bailey's Irish Cream, 1 Part Black Coffee

Chocolate Cake: 2 Parts Vodka, 1 Part Frangelico, 1 Part Cream De Cacao, 1 Part Chocloate Liqueur

Kamakazi: 1 Part Vodka, 1 Part Triple Sec, 1 Part Rosie's Sweetend Lime Juice

And, if you can look it up, Blow Jobs shots. There are 4 or 5 different recipes for them. And you are supposed to top them with Whipped Cream and shoot them with out using your hands.

This one I added just because it is fun:

Flaming Dr. Pepper: Vodka, Amarreto, 151 Bacardi Rum, Dr.Pepper, 1 big glass of beer. Mix the Dr.Pepper, Vodka, Amaretto, and Bacardi evenly into a double shot glass. Light it on fire, drop it into the beer. Chug.

Have Fun

My favorite drink when I was younger was a

Seabreeze: vodka, cranberry and grapefruit juice

Now I like Captain Morgan w/diet coke and a wedge of lime

Bloody Marys w/ V8 are good too.

for something fruity, I like malibu, pineapple, and cranberry. It "tastes like a cruise" so that's what we call it. No idea if it's a "real" drink or not, but its good!

If you have a blender, you can make a Dirty Banana. I have no idea what the actual amounts are, so I'm estimating, but you can tinker with the amount of alcohol.

1 banana, ice, 1 shot of rum, 1 shot of rum creme, 1/2 shot of coffee liquer

We drank these all the time in Jamaica and they're SO good. Once you've blended it, it should have the same kind of consistency as a Wendy's Frosty.
