FRIDAY COCKTAIL - STEVE'S PENICILLIN

Now don't get all excited, I thought maybe I would randomly start blogging again.  Thanks to Steve E. for the first Friday cocktail in a long long time.  I was glad the 365 recipes in 365 days ended, and more importantly that all those recipes are saved on the internet so I don't have to look through my binder full of recipes on scraps of paper.  So Happy Friday and Happy June 1st!!!!!

Ingredients:

2 oz scotch
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz honey
slice of ginger and lemon for garnish

Mix ingredients in a shaker and pour over ice in a rock's glass.  Garnish with ginger and lemon.  And as Steve eloquently said....

BOOM SO GOOD!
ENJOY!

HALLOWEEN FRIDAY COCKTAIL - BLOOD AND SAND!

A good friend passed this one along to me. Blood and Sand was created from the 1922 classic silent movie of the same name starring Rudolf Valentino. It is making a comeback in bars across the country that are going back to classic cocktails. This is one of only a few that feature Scotch!

The recipe calls for equal parts of all ingredients, but for a smoother taste you may want a little more scotch and orange juice.

Ingredients:
3/4 oz good Scotch
3/4 oz Orange juice
3/4 oz Cherry liqueur
3/4 oz Sweet vermouth

In a shaker with ice combine all ingredients, shake well and strain into a martini glass. You can garnish with a cherry or a slice of orange zest.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
ENJOY!

FRIDAY COCKTAIL - MAIME TAYLOR!

This is a cocktail from way way back. Don't know what to mix with your scotch? Dust off that bottle of Dewars you crack open when relatives visit and try this!! However, my husband thinks this is criminal to add anything but an ice cube to scotch.

3 oz scotch

1 tbl lime juice

ginger beer

lemon

Mix scotch and lime juice in a tall glass over ice. Fill with ginger beer and garnish with a lemon.

HAPPY FALL!

ENJOY!
