I cannot take credit for finding this...a good friend just sent it to me. But there's some delish sounding recipes!

I am a big fan of most anything with alcohol in it. Some how I always end up back at regular Bacardi and coke zero with a lime though. My favorite shot would have to be an irish car bomb which is a glass quarter to half full of guiness with a shot glass of 50/50 baileys and jameson dropped in. You then pound it down like no ones business. :drinker:

My favorite martinis:

2oz Beefeater or Bombay original gin (not Sapphire)
1/2 oz Noilly Prat dry vermouth
Stir, strain into frosted cocktail glass.
Garnish with 1-2 big honkin' olives. Stuffed with garlic, pimento, almond, or nothing.

Variation - the Dirty Sinatra - use 2 jalapeno stuffed olives. Spill a little brine into the shaker before stirring.
(it's said that Frank Sinatra likes jalapeno olives in his martinis)

Can-Can Martini:
2 oz gin
1.5 oz St. Germain
1/4 oz Noilly Prat dry or Lillet Blanc

Sometimes I just do 2oz gin, 1/2 oz St. Germain. A bit more subtle.

Anyone have any holiday party drink recipes they love?

Preferrably something that can be made in a large batch so that no one needs to constantly attend the bar.

I posted this a few posts above...

Here is a good one for gatherings and holidays. It is fruity and packs a punch.

We usually make it in a pitcher versus the bowl at home.

I've made this punch for the yuletide season for many years... festive, fruits and a good buzz
1 – 750 ml Vodka
4 cups Chai tea (sweetened according to taste)
4 cups Clear Apple Juice
2 whole orange cut in slices
2 whole red apple cut in slices
optional- 1-2 teaspoon Bitters

When it's a chilly night out, I like to sit and sip on hot chocolate with Peppermint Schnapps. Yum! If you have a candy cane you can add it as a garnish and swizzle stick.
