Title: Cocktails for New Year's
Post by: Angus on December 20, 2006, 03:59:41 AM
Hello all.
Here's the deal. This New Year will bear some changes for me and my folks, and we're saying goodbye to the old year with a bang.
(I sold my cattle and hired myself on a ship....not joking)
So, we're going to make some nice cocktail and I am looking for ideas.
Something not overly complicated, and what the ladies like to drink (I am swamped with a household of ladies), - something tropical maybe.
So, recipies?

When I was in Panama last year I figured I'd try a Pina Colada since I was somewhere "tropical".  For a foo-foo drink it was pretty damn tasty.

It won't be tropical but typical :p

Soupe de Champagne (http://www.1001cocktails.com/cocktails/2171/recette-cocktail-soupe-de-champagne.html)

Soupe angevine  (http://www.1001cocktails.com/cocktails/1538/recette-cocktail-soupe-angevine.html)
This recipe is as good as the previous but cheaper (crémant is a lot less expensive than champagne ... plus the soupe Angevine is the local cocktail )

PS : I won't be surprised if the girls end topless ... this coktail is particuliary vicious ,it look innocent but it only look innocent :)

he thinks everything is a gay solicitation.  probably forgot to turn off his GAYdar after a night out to the blue oyster bar and grizzle.

i was trying to open it up with a question about his taste so that i could get him into the realm of thinking for the ladies once he became receptive.

(my god, you are worse than ball in a 262 at the tail end of my 1v1 fight when i just about have the bastard in my sites when i see it go boom.)

pthpthp!

88's chocolatini

2oz godiva dark chocolate
2oz godiva white chocolate
2oz top shelf vodka.  (van gogh chocolate vodka is best, but vanilla works well too...)
just a splash of baileys irish cream.

shake briskly with ice.

strain and pour.


note: this one is officially registered as a "panty dropper"

88 knows of which he speaks we're trying that one thanks for the idea.

Post by: Angus on December 20, 2006, 08:13:24 AM
JB88:
"2oz godiva dark chocolate
2oz godiva white chocolate"

What is that? Liqueur?
Title: Cocktails for New Year's
Post by: JB88 on December 20, 2006, 08:36:40 AM
yes.  liqueurs.

you might try this one.  even better i think...


dark milk chocolate martini

2oz godiva dark
2oz dark creme de cocoa.
2 oz vodka (vanilla vodka or van gogh chocolate vodka...the latter is best but hard to find at times)
dash baileys irish cream.

shake of over ice.  

strain and pour over chilled chocolate or caramel drizzled glass.


i personally like this one better.

its also less expensive as dark creme de cocoa costs less than white godiva.

its a bit richer though.

Finding chocolade liqueur where I live is a tough one.
How about vodka, choco liqeur of one sort (I'll find one) and bayleys?
Title: Cocktails for New Year's
Post by: JB88 on December 20, 2006, 10:16:19 AM
it could work, but it wont be super duper sexy.

not too much baileys...

you can use other liqueurs than godiva...but it needs to be a chocolate liqueur to work correctly.

creme de cocoa should be added.  

but it really depends on what you want.

the second chocolate martini recipe is the better one imho.  i should suggested that one first over the other.

if you take a look around and let me know what you find, i can probably save you some cost if it just isnt gonna work.  i like to bartend from time to time.  used to do it ALOT.

:)

Post by: Halo on December 20, 2006, 10:21:45 AM
Note the consensus involving some sort of chocolate booze.  

Brandy Alexander is a good bet.  Google for the recipe version that appeals to you the most.
Title: Cocktails for New Year's
Post by: JB88 on December 20, 2006, 10:37:57 AM
not a huge fan of brandy, but its not a bad drink at all if you are.

:)
Title: Cocktails for New Year's
Post by: JB88 on December 20, 2006, 11:09:24 AM
alright angus, i have done a bit of research and here is what i am going to suggest.

if you MUST alter the recipe then just replace the chocolate godiva with dark creme de cocoa... try 3 oz to 3 oz vodka...splash baileys.  

(note: i am serious about the splash...try it that way if it needs more baileys to suit your tatses so be it.

none of this is set in stone and just the notion of chocolate martinis has been known to drop panties.

good luck sir.

Title: Cocktails for New Year's
Post by: rpm on December 20, 2006, 11:17:00 AM
Angus, if you can't find a chocolate liqueur like Godiva, use Creme de Cacao.

Post by: Shuffler on December 20, 2006, 12:24:56 PM
Frozen Margaritas..... 1 small frozen limeaid in mixer, fill mixer with ice, add Cuervo (fill limeaid can 3/4 full pour in mixer), add Triple Sec [ good triple sec is the secret] (fill limeaid can full.. then pour into mixer) Blend till slush wet glass of choice around the rim dip in salt... fill with margarita.... note for a little more kick after putting margarita in glass pour a shot on top and drink with a straw.

Red and green are festive colores.

Shot of tequila with a green lime wedge and some red colored salt.

Toss salt over shoulder, drink the shot and toss the lime in the garbage disposal to freshen it. Repeat as necessary.

If she aint horizontal after three of them, you're doing something wrong.

I suggest a nice Cuban drink called a Mohito

Mohito



1.5 oz Havana Club Rum
12 fresh spearmint leaves
1/2 lime
7 oz club soda
2 tbsp. simple syrup
(or 4 tsp. sugar)

For the smoothest mohitos, gently crush mint leaves and lightly squeeze lime in a cool tall glass. Pour sweet syrup on top to cover and fill glass with ice. Add Havana Club, club soda, and stir your emerging mojito well. Garnish with a lime wedge, a few sprigs of mint, toast, sip, and enjoy mohitos.....

excellent selection.


but in order to be a ninja he must qualify.

angus.  if you wish to make it uber, you have to muttle the hell out of it (mint especially included) before you can even think of pouring it into a glass.





oh ya...and say hoo ha! when you pour it.

The Drink Called Shamrock Juice is nice and simple--

Half glass of OJ and the other half Blue Curaceo Witch turns the drink green the Put a Garnish of some red berry's on it to make it a Holliday drink outher than that a pineapple slice works well to. Wile In Germany I had this drink A lot of ladies came to me asking what It was and I would buy them one after around 2 they were all mine hehehe.

not being nitpicky here, oh hell yes I am alloy me to make a correction

mojito

2oz of bacardi rum.  yes yes yes  I am aware the havana club distillery is the old bacardi facility and all that happy stuff but the mojito was invented by facundo bacardi in 1902 so make it bacardi. k?

two sprigs of crushed yerba buena (mentha nemorosa)

the rest of the recipe is correct.

spearmint may be close but it ain't it.  this is the true mojito accept no imitations.  the mojito may well the best subtle panty from girl separation device ever.  facundo bacardi was a legendary ladies man, so much so that many of us from that part of the island are related to him in some way.  :D

great recipe and it works. :D   here's the AAR.  I wanted to test this prior to new years so I mixed a batch as prescribed except that instead of chilling it with ice we placed the batch in a sealable glass container and put it in the freezer.  we debuted the concoction at a party last night and the ladies drank the half gallon that we made fairly quickly.  we had a second party to attend so we ducked out the first part around 2200 but I hated leaving because the party was very lively as we were cruising out.  today I have received three calls from friends asking for the recipe.

good one 88.  thanks.  :D
