In 2012 I decided to put a mini bar in my home. The result was an interest in creating my own spin on cocktails to enjoy while doing the fun stuff in life. You know Horror movies, Supernatural drama shows and Facebooking. So here are my top ten favorite drinks from my "In The World Of Spirits" blog posts.
10. Strawberry Smoothie
Ingredients:
White Wine 1 1/2 oz
Dutch Cream
Strawberry Flavoring (you can find this in coffee isle of grocery store)
Cherries
Add your wine with a handful of ice into your blender. Add about 4 3 oz Dutch Cream and shot of strawberry flavoring. Pulse until fully blended then pour in glass. Drop cherries in glass and drizzle cherry juice over top. Enjoy!
9. The Pomtini Blast
Ingredients
Pomegranate Juice
Pomegranate Schnapps
Vodka
Ice
In a Martini shaker add your liquor and Schnapps over sever pieces of ice. Add just enough Fruit juice to level with the ice barely covering the cubes. Shake well and pour into fave little glass. I take a few of the cubes from the shaker to add to mine but you can leave out the ice.
8. The Manhattan Light
Ingredients
1 oz Martini&Rossi
2 oz J&B
Sprite
Ice
Cherries
Place your ice in your favorite martini glass. Add your two liquors. Then fill the rest of way with Sprite and throw in the cherries. It keeps the strong thick whiskey yet the Sprite allow for a milder flavor. Still it is a strong drink but I consider it a light cocktail. Enjoy!
7. The Bloody Punch Drink
Ingredients:
2 cps Frozen Strawberries
2 cps Smashin’ Strawberry Minute Maid
1 1/2 oz Vodka
1 1/2 oz Tequila
1 1/2 oz Whiskey
1 1/2 oz Pomegranate schnapps
Sour Mix
In a blinder add your strawberries and Smashin’ Strawberry Minute Maid and blend. Then add your liquors and blend until strawberries are pulverized. Pour liquid into a glass leaving about 2 full inches from rim of glass. Finish off with Sour Mix until only 1/2 space is left from rim to drink level. Stir with a straw and enjoy!
6. The Graveyard
Ingredients:
1/2 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Tequila
1/2 oz Rum
1/2 oz Bourbon
Dark Lager and Light Ale
Pour each of the liquors into a tall beer glass then finish off with equal parts light and dark beer. Enjoy and a word of caution. Just as the website I got this from warned me I must now warn you. If your not a real drinker stay away from this drink. You could find yourself in the graveyard!
5. The Vampire's Kiss

2 0z Vodka

Place ice (as much as you desire) in tumbler or short glass. Pour the Vodka and Schnapps over ice and finish off with either Pomegranate soda or you can just use Pomegranate juice if you prefer not to use a fizzy drink.
Enjoy this sweet and tarty drink while lavishing in your favorite Vampire flick or show.
