Drunken Sailors Favorite Drink Recipes

In my younger years I was a bar keep and then an instructor at a bar-tending school in San Francisco. I have many drink recipes that I have attempted to make better that the originals. The booze I use has been tested on my own liver many times over the years and is high quality juice at a reasonable price, I will try and post some here on a regular basis.

I'm on a Dark Rum and cherry pepsi kick right now.

 

[Andy1237]

KandD, what do you call that drink? Port Lignt (Cherry) in a Dark Storm? But the gales of November make a traditional Dark and Stormy sound good.

Equal Time for Wine Drinkers

Chilean Carménère wines! Give them plenty of time to breath and you will enjoy a deep full bodied red wine like none other.

Wikipedia refers to it as a medium bodied blending wine, but then what do they know. That was probably written by a California wine grower or by someone in France and both places are more than a little jealous of just how very fine Chilean wines are. Read about it's rediscovery in 1994. A very intersesting story. I got turned on to it a few years ago on a KLM business class flight to South Africa. Thank goodness it was business class as the wine just kept flowing.

Kind Regards,
JonBill

[wpage]

Easy

Port cooler...

4 oz Taylor red port
8 oz selzer or club
Lots of ice

Enjoy!:dance:

 

[MoonSailer]

Rum spiced or Dark with or without ice. 100 proof Captain Morgan's spiced rum on ice is great. Eating a piece of dark chocolate while drinking the rum makes it even better. Most Spiced rum is 70 proof and tastes pretty dilute after a few minutes in the heat. The 100 proof is better. My wife likes to make mojitos adding lime juice ,brown sugar and soda. But KISS is my rule.....rum and ice.

Whew... Some of these sound so sweet. For some reason I don't care for sweet drinks now that I have grown a little older. Here are a few of my favorites...

Take a shaker and add:

A couple drops of Dry Martini & Rossi vermouth
About 3 ounces of New Amsterdam Gin
About a cup of crushed ice
Shake.

Take 1 queen olive and one cocktail onion and skewer on a toothpick.
Toss into a Martini glass and pour strained Martini over olive and onion. Drink and instantly feel much, much better. Reserve remainder in the shaker for a quick drink refresh.

This is kind of a cross between a Gibson and a Martini. Sometimes I will use olives stuffed with Blue Cheese, Feta or Sun Dried Tomatoes for variety.

Other favorite:

Take a short glass
Add several pieces of cubed ice
Add about 2 ounces of either Famous Grouse Scotch or 40 Creek Canadian Whiskey
Add just a splash of pure water.
Swirl around, drink and enjoy.

A couple of sweet drinks that I invented that seem to be crowd pleasers:

Gingerbread man:

Take a short glass
Add several pieces of cubed ice
Add about 1 ounce of Canadian Whiskey
Add about 1/2 ounce of Kaluah
Add about 1/2 ounce of butterscotch liquor
Add about 1/4 ounce of Goldshlager

These are awesome in the winter when it is cold out side and you are sitting around a warm fire. They just warm your whole insides.

Jamacian Sunrise:

Take a tall highball glass
Add crushed ice
Add about 1 1/2 oz of Jamacian Rum
Add about 1/2 oz of cocunut rum
Add about 1/2 oz of banana liquor or rum
Fill the remainder with half orange juice and half pineapple juice
Add a splash of Grenadine
Garnish with a chunk of pineapple and a cherry skewered on one of those little plastic swords.

I invented these when my wife and I were on our honemoon in Negril and we spent most days on the nude beach. The bar there was self serve so I experimented quite a bit. These quickly became favorites with our unclothed, free spirited friends. Great drink for the beach or lake.

From my understanding most sweet mixed drinks were invented during Prohibition, because the quality of the booze was so horrible the only way people could drink the stuff was to mix various sweet concoctions together in order to actually drink it. These days we don't have that problem, but the sweetened mixed drinks somehow live on.

Tall glass, fill w/ ice,,
dark rum (mont. gay preferred) & ginger ale,
and half a squeezed lime

both cheap and abundant in the islands

proportions of rum depends on time of day...

 

[Smithy]

My nirvana was found last year in SoCal, when I was introduced to Ron Zacapa 23 Anos rum. Over a little ice by itself, it's a complex and delicious concoction. Mixed with the very hard-to-find "Pepsi Natural" (not the throwback, and certainly not anything with HFCS) and a hand-picked lime, over ice, it is the finest beverage I think I will have ever tasted. A very high-class Cuba Libre.

 

[Smithy]

I will also list my favorite rums, in order of preferance:

Ron Zacapa 23
Cruzan 12 year Single Barrel
Tommy Bahama Gold
Appletons
Bacardi Anejo
Malibu, in a "coco libre", is not bad halfway through a pub crawl in San Diego
Bacardi Silver
David McMurray

To Avoid At All Costs:
Myers
Barbancourt
Cheap Captain Morgan's

Want to try:
Pirat
Flor de cana
Mount Gay
Pusser's Rum
