Cocktails
- A full comprehensive list of the worlds finest cocktails.
Cocktails play a fundamental part of
getting drunk, when you have had too much to drink already it is all too
appealing to fall prey to the calling of soft sweet drinks and dry roasted
nuts. A young entrepreneur in the early 12 century realised this and
experimented with a quart of ale and some spices to change the flavour,
little did he know that his meddling would result in a world of hard core
drinkers. Since that day many have mixed and blended drinks in search of the
ultimate refreshment. I dare you work through these in one sitting
(ChilliSauce.org cannot be held responsible for any liver failure, death,
illness etc. for being foolhardy and trying to drink the cocktail bar!)

-
1 bottle of gin
-
1 bottle of vodka
-
1 shot Cointreau or Grand
Marnier
Method
-
Place bottle of gin and bottle of vodka
in freezer overnight, preferably at -18 degrees C or 0 degrees F (don't
worry, they do not freeze)
-
Place 1 shot of very cold gin and one
shot of very cold vodka into a very cold glass
-
Add one shot of Cointreau
or Grand Marnier
Notes
-
Can be drunk or poured
over ice cream for a very chilling experience.
Black Russian
Ingredients
-
Tia Maria or Kahlua
-
Vodka
Method
-
Mix one-third Tia Maria or Kahlua with
two-thirds vodka
-
Add ice
Black Velvet
Ingredients
-
Half a pint of Guinness
-
Half a pint of cider
Method
-
Pour the cider into the
half a pint of Guinness.
Notes
-
Upon completion of the two being mixed
together a mind blowing bittersweet concoction is produced.
-
As the above consists of a pint of
liquid going into a pint glass, the first couple of attempts will cause a
large amount of froth.
-
The cider should be of one of the
stronger varieties.
-
For the rich man's
version use champagne instead of cider.
Blog: The Minneapolis Blog
Ingredients
-
4 quarts ginger ale
-
12 oz (one can) frozen orange juice
-
12 oz (one can) frozen lemonade
-
12 oz (one can) frozen limeade
-
6 oz grenadine
-
12 oz vodka
-
Lots of ice
Method
-
Mix ingredients in a
medium-to-large bucket
Notes
-
If it's going to take you a while to
drink it, add the ice gradually.
-
To make St. Paul Blog, leave out the
vodka.
Bloody Mary
Ingredients
-
Peppar vodka (Absolut is fine) to taste
-
Mixture of Half Tomato Juice and Half
V8 Vegetable Juice
-
Tabasco
-
Worcestershire Sauce
-
2-3 tablespoons of Beer Comsomme (no,
really)
-
Salt
-
Pepper
-
Celery Salt, if you can find it
Method
-
Serve well mixed over ice
with a celery stick, and hope that the world goes away
Notes
-
Tabasco makes an excellent extra spicy
Bloody Mary mix when added to grated horseradish. I find that adding some
diced garlic and a splash of vinegarette dressing (a nice strong one, not
the sugary rubbish) also adds to it nicely, along with a squeeze of lime
and a lot of freshly ground black pepper. And then whatever alcohol you
prefer.
-
The breakfast of champions!
The Brain Haemorrhage
Ingredients
-
Strawberry schnapps
-
Grenadine
-
Bailey's Irish Cream
Liqueur
Method
-
Pour 3/4 of an ounce of chilled
strawberry schnapps into a glass
-
Plop in a dash of Grenadine
-
Carefully add some chilled Bailey's to
the mix
-
Stand back and watch what
happens.
Notes
-
If your stomach is still
OK with this, drink it down.
Cement Mixer
Ingredients
-
2/3 shot of Baileys
-
1/3 shot of Rosa's lime
juice or cranberry juice
Method
-
Fill a shot glass about 2/3-full with
Baileys and top off with the lime or cranberry juice
-
Make sure not to mix them, but let the
juice sit in a layer on top of the Baileys
-
Then have the drinker
bottoms up and swish around. What happens is that when the Bailey's and
Lime/Cranberry Juice mix in their mouth they congeal into a nice thick
cement-like substance, hence the name.
Notes
-
I've never tried this one myself but
I've seen it drunk by other people and not many seem to enjoy it. It's
more of a joke drink to buy for an unsuspecting freshly turned
21-year-old.
-
Or an 18-year-old if you're English.
-
It can also be mixed
'live' in the mouth, preferrably in a dentist's chair.
The Chocolate Orange
Ingredients
Method
-
Put two measures of Tia Maria into a
schooner
-
Top up with orange juice
Notes
-
If you like this, you
might like to try the Ghostbuster.
Cointreau Caipirinha
Ingredients
-
2 measures of Cointreau
-
Ice
-
1 lime
Method
-
Get a couple of handfuls of ice and
crush them - don't hold back! You're looking to break the ice down into
fine chips - you may find it helpful to put the ice in a plastic bag first
so that the bits don't ricochet across the room when you smash them with a
mallet...
-
Once you've got the ice, find a solid
tumbler and fill it almost to the brim
-
Choose a nice succulent lime, wash it,
chop it in half and cut one of the halves into quarters, then squeeze
those over the ice in the tumbler
-
Once you've done that, lob the quarters
in there as well - they add a lovely splash of colour
-
Pour in a couple of measures of
Cointreau, and stir. The drink will take on a slightly cloudy consistency
as the water mixes with the essential oils in the Cointreau
-
That's it - sit back and
enjoy!
Notes
-
The sharp taste of the
lime juice acts as a counterpoint to the underlying metaphor of the
sweetness of the Cointreau, making a drink that's particularly refreshing,
especially on a hot summer's day.
Crazy Finn
Ingredients
-
500ml 100 proof 'Finlandia' vodka
-
500ml 100 proof 'Minttu' peppermint
schnapps
-
1000ml 'Sprite' soft
drink
Method
-
Chill the ingredients. -10°C should fo
fine. This represents the Finnish average summer temperature. Please don't
try to chill the Sprite to under 0°C, though, unless you like mopping up
sticky stuff from your floor
-
Pour equal amount of vodka and
peppermint schnapps into a tall glass
-
Fill up the glass with
Sprite and mix well
Notes
-
Guaranteed to make you
very happy. Even deliriously so. Watch out for a drowsy side effect if
consumed too quickly...
Dark Side of The Force
Ingredients
-
Kahula
-
Bailey's Irish Cream
-
Chocolate milk
Method
-
Thoroughly chill all ingredients
-
Just mix to taste in no
particular order or amount
Notes
-
Best served in a chilled glass.
-
Best drunk while watching a movie in
the privacy of your own home.
-
Even better drunk in a crowded movie
theatre.
-
It's called the Dark Side of The Force
for its powerful ability to seduce you and blind you (especially in large
quantities).
Eg Shot
Ingredients
-
After Shock, a red, spicy cinnamon
liqueur
-
Bailey's Irish Cream
Method
-
Fill the shot glass 3/4 of the way to
the top with After Shock
-
Top the glass up with
Bailey's, so that the Bailey's floats on top of the After Shock
Notes
-
Run the Bailey's down the back of the
spoon to avoid sinkage
-
The idea of combining
Bailey's with After Shock may not appeal to your average drinker, but I
suggest trying it first. The Bailey's actually helps prevent the nasty of
aftertaste of the After Shock
Flaming Dr. Pepper
Ingredients
-
1 shot of amaretto
-
1 shot of 151-proof rum
-
1 glass of beer
Method
-
Top the shot of amaretto with the
151-proof rum and light on fire
-
Drop flaming shot into glass of beer
-
Pound before drink foams
all over the place
Flaming Lamborghini
Ingredients
-
1 shot of Kahlua
-
1 shot of Cointreau
-
1 shot of Sambuca
-
1 shot of Green Chartreuse
-
1 shot of Blue Curacao
-
1 shot of thickened cream
Method
-
In a large Martini glass layer the
Kahlua, Cointreau, Sambuca, and on the top layer Green Chartreuse.
-
Fill a shot glass with Blue Curacao and
another with thickened cream.
-
Have a friend - a friend -
light the Chartreuse and hold the shot glasses.
-
Dip two straws in the glass and suck
immediately.
-
Your friend should add
the Blue Curacao while you are drinking, and when you get near the bottom
of the glass, the cream.
Notes
-
The purpose of the curacao is a bit of
a sweetener.
-
The purpose of the cream is to cool
your throat down.
-
The purpose of the drink is to get you
smashed in ten minutes.
-
The purpose of buying one for someone
else is usually revenge.
Frozen Margarita
Ingredients
-
6 ounces Jose Cuervo margarita mix
-
2 ounces Cuervo 1800
-
A splash of Orange Curacao (no more
than 1/2 ounce)
-
Juice from 1/4 fresh lime
Method
-
Pour the ingredients into
a blender, making sure to smell the cork from the tequila. Fill your
serving glass with ice, and pour a little at a time into the whirring
blender until the ice is finely crushed. Jog the blender every once in a
while along the way will knock any stubborn ice chunks down into the
blades. You may want to add an additional 1/4 to 1/3 of a glass of ice,
depending on your slush preference. Pour carefully and slurp away!
-
For the Cuervo tequila,
it seems that a 3 to 1 ratio is best. You may wish to experiment with
other tequilas. For example, Don Eduardo's Blue Agave is much smoother and
can be mixed 2 to 1. As long as you keep the same ratio, you can vary the
amount of tequila and margarita mix to your desired level.
-
If you get a brain freeze
from drinking the slush too fast, try holding the glass against your
throat, just along your windpipe.

-
Fill the tankard to the
top with whatever bottle you hit
Notes
A drink invented by
conscript soldiers fighting in bush wars in southern Africa. The drink was
intended to help them forget the horrors of these pointless conflicts. In
fact, this is only surmised: all that they could remember was how to make
this drink1.
The Gorilla Fart

1 part 151

Crème de Menthe
-
Vanilla Ice-cream
Method
-
Put Crème de Menthe in
the bottom of a blender, add ice-cream and blend
Notes
-
A Minty milkshake, try
adding large amounts of vodka for an extra kick (Flying Grasshopper) or
use1 scope of chocolate ice-cream to 2 scopes of vanilla for a mint choc
chip milkshake (Dirty Grasshopper).
Green Guinness
Ingredients
Method
-
Put Crème de Menthe in the bottom of a
pint glass, to taste and tolerance
-
Slowly fill up glass with
Guinness
Notes
-
The resulting concoction appears like
ordinary Guinness except with a green head.
-
The taste may best be
described as acquired.

7up or any other lemon-lime soda

The Kangaroo
Ingredients

1 Snowball
-
1 shot of Vodka
-
1 shot of Blackcurrant
-
Lager
-
Cider
Notes
-
It's a glorious pink colour.

It sounds disgusting but
tastes like milkshake!
Knockout Juice

1 shot Jack Daniels
-
1 shot Southern Comfort
-
1 shot Tequila
-
1 shot White & Mackay
-
Lemonade
-
Lime to taste
Notes
-
Makes 1/2 a pint.
-
A very special cocktail for use when
you need to go from vertical to horizontal with the least amount of fuss.
-
MMMmmmmm alcohol... The
cause of - and solution to - all life's problems.
Alcoholic Komboucha
Ingredients
-
1/2 pint of really bitter and
well-brewed Komboucha (with black scary bits as substance)
-
1/4 pint of grapefruit juice
-
1/4 pint of pure alcohol
Method
-
Mix very gently so as not to break-up
the black scary bits and leave in the fridge for a week
-
Drink on a cold day
The Leveller
Ingredients
-
Double measure vodka
-
Double measure Blue Bols
-
Double measure Cinzano
-
Coconut milk to taste (optional)
-
Feel free to add other
flavours, but for the truly stupid, a single (I cannot stress
this enough) single measure of absinthe really gives the desired
kick.
Method
-
Mix all three spirits in a single
tumbler, giving it a stir to ensure the mix
-
Add the coconut milk to taste to take
the edge off the poison
-
Drop in the absinthe, if you decide to
include it
-
You should have a sort of
blue, green, greyish mixture: drink
Notes
-
Preparation time sober: 2 minutes.
-
Preparation time drunk: 2 hours.
-
Despite its revolting appearance, the
taste is quite sublime, for about 10 minutes. After that you'll be
absolutely plastered, unable to stand or to stop laughing and generally
wasted, but in a fantastically good way.
-
Never attempt more than
three in one night, and never order one at a bar because the cost equates
to size of the hangover... in other words, massive.
Lobotomy

-
Pineapple juice
-
Chambord
-
Champagne
-
Amaretto
Method
-
Shake equal parts of pineapple juice,
Chambord, champagne and Amaretto in some ice
-
Strain into a shot glass

-
Wilbur! Pass the hacksaw!
It's all gotta come out!
Long Island Iced Tea
Ingredients
-
2 measures vodka
-
2 measures triple sec
-
2 measures white rum
-
2 measures dark rum
-
2 measures tequila
-
Lemon and lime mixer, such as 7up
-
A dash of Coke
-
Ice
Method
-
Mix the spirits with lots of ice
-
Top up the glass with the lemon and
lime mixer
-
Add a dash of coke for
colour
Notes
-
This ia the recipe for
Long Island Iced Tea as prepared at J Augusts Bar, New Brunswick, New
Jersey, USA. See the conversation below for variations on the theme.
Lunch Drink
Ingredients
-
1 part leftover cheap red wine (preferrably
Rioja, but any old wine will do)
-
1 part cold Sprite
-
Ice
Method
-
Always pour the wine, and
then add the Sprite
Notes
-
This is an old family
recipe, so if you're an old family, enjoy...
Manhattan
Ingredients
-
Two parts whiskey
-
One part sweet vermouth
-
Grenadine
-
A dash of bitters
-
One cherry
Method
-
Mix the whiskey and vermouth
-
Add a little grenadine and a dash of
bitters
-
Put into a glass with cracked ice and
shake or stir to your taste
-
Strain into a martini
glass, and add a cherry
Notes
-
You can do without the bitters if you
want, but if you screw this up (and bartenders do this far to often) you
can use the bitters to cover your mistakes.
-
A friend of mine, who is really into
the lounge scene, likes all whiskey, only using enough vermouth to rinse
the glass with.
-
Some people swear that
you should use bourbon instead of whiskey. And why not?
The Maypole Martini
Ingredients
-
1 measure dry vermouth (not extra dry)
-
1 measure vodka
-
1 thin slice of lemon
peel
Method
-
First fill a cocktail glass with ice.
-
Take one measure each of dry vermouth
(not extra dry) and vodka. Mr. Bond had it right regarding the relative
merits of shaking and stirring vodka martinis cocktails, so pour both
measures into a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for ten to twenty
seconds.
-
Remove the ice from the glass, and
empty the contents of the shaker into it.
-
Place a thin slice of lemon peel on
top; the thinner the better, since the ideal effect is for it to float. No
umbrellas, please.
-
Drink immediately, and
suavely. The perfect mix ought to seem to evaporate a bit in your mouth.
Notes
-
The vodka should be
Smirnoff, or better still, Stolichnaya. Most of the readily available
vodkas in shops aren't especially good - they have a taste. A good vodka
has a feel rather than a taste.
Mexican Flag
Ingredients
-
1 shot of Grenadine
-
1 shot of white tequila
-
1 shot of Crème de Menthe
Method
-
Layer the shots in the
order of the Mexican flag
Notes
-
If you can't remember the
order of the colours of the Mexican flag, either consult your bottle of
tequila, or experiment until it looks right to you.

-
1 measure of vodka
-
Soda water

-
Stick a measure each of Kahlua and
vodka in a shot glass

Bung in a straw
Notes
Modigliani
Ingredients
-
Grenadine
-
Jack Daniels
-
Ice
-
1 maraschino cherry
Method
-
Chill a Martini glass and fill it with
Jack Daniels
-
Add the maraschino cherry
-
Dribble Grenadine around
the edge of the glass and drink
Notes
-
Introduced in the late 1990s by an
artist named Sarah Gay, this drink is apparently a tribute to some
Modigliani painter fellow.
-
You can add more or less
Grenadine as your taste prefers.
The Monkey F***
Ingredients
-
One pint of good Lager
-
One double shot of whiskey
-
One shot of dry white

Method
-

a double whiskey and dry white wine and drink carefully.
Notes
You wont remember anything
past your third one of these little blighters!

Vodka
-
Archer's peach schnapps
-
Lime
Method
-
Go to Spoofers in Gloucester, England
-
Order one at the bar

Settle back and drink
Notes
-

friend!
Purple People Eater
Ingredients
-
1/2 glass vodka
-
A dash of cherry brandy
-
A dash of curacao
-
Lemonade
Method
-
Half fill the glass of your choice
(preferably a large one) with vodka
-
Add a dash of cherry brandy
-
Add a dash of curacao
-
Top up with lemonade
Notes
-
Once you've had about
half of one, that purple colour will look so pretty...
Ram Raider
Ingredients
-
1 part Jack Daniels
-
1 part Baileys
-
1 part Ammaretto
-
1 part Jagermeister
Method
-
Mix ingredients
-
Drink through a straw,
quickly...
Notes
-
I usually find that the first unsettles
the stomach, especially if drunk after a couple of pints of lager.
However, follow it quickly by another and everything will be back to
normal again.
-
Three or four of these will be enough
to see you waking up on the curb, wondering why you're only a couple of
feet from your front door.
Raspberry Eglantine
Ingredients
-
Fresh (the fresher the better)
raspberries
-
Framboise (or vodka will do)
-
Champagne or anything sparkly (though
not lager)
Method
-
Gently crush the raspberries (or
roughly if that is your thing) and fill a large, chilled champagne flute
up to about a third full
-
Add a little bit of Framboise (or
vodka) - not too much, just to enhance the flavour of the fruit
-
Fill the rest of the
glass up with champagne
Notes
-
Lip smackingly good I
promise.
Red Devil
Ingredients
-
1 pint of lager (Preferably Fosters)
-
1 Pernod and blackcurrant
Method
-
Drink enough from the pint of lager to
make room for the Pernod and blackcurrant
-
Pour the Pernod and blackcurrant into
the lager
-
Drink. Slowly.
Notes
-
You can optionally substitute a
cider/lager mic for the lager.
-
I tend to find that the
drunkeness creeps up on you, then suddenly just poleaxes you out of
nowhere. Before you know it you're talking rubbish and walking funny.
Red Bull variations
Ingredients
-
1 double vodka or Jack Daniels
-
1 can Red Bull
-
Ice
Method
-
Pour Red Bull over spirit
and ice
Notes
-
If you like this, you might also like
the TVR.
-
Red Bull and vodka gives you wings.
-
Red Bull and Jack Daniels gives you
solid rocket boosters.
-
A mix of 1/2 champagne,
1/4 red Bull and 1/4 vodka provides an interesting angle on the whole Red
Bull flying experience.
Red Devil 2
Ingredients
-
Four shots of vodka
-
One bottle of red (any red alcoholic
drink will do, e.g. Bacardi Breezer, Red Square, etc.)
-
Some form of energy drink
(e.g. Red Bull etc.)
Method
Simply Add the four shots
to a pint glass, Pour in the red and top up with the energy drink.
Warning: this drink
promotes memory loss, and costs quite a bit too.
Sake Martini
Ingredients
-
1/4 sake (rice wine)
-
3/4 vodka
-
Cucumber wedge, curl or other shaped
piece
Method
-
Set up as a normal Martini, iced glass

After icing, prepare glass by taking a
cucumber wedge and wiping it around the rim of the glass and dropping it
in
-
Pour in the mix and drink
away
