Sweet red, white and blue.


This one is just for looks: patriotic, flag colors. Just right in time for the elections. One can impress the guests during the victory party with that. But, unfortunately, it is way too sweet. And the alcohol content is rather low...
To create the sweet red, white and blue, layer carefully:
  • one part grenadine,
  • one part creme de cacao, and
  • one part blue curacao.
Enjoy. Follow with a shot of straight vodka to balance the sweetness.

After 20:00 hours



This one took some experimentation, finally I settled for:
  • 3 part chocolate liquor, (Godiva in my case), and
  • 2 part peppermint schnapps (Rumple Minze).
I tried different proportions. 1:1 (1/2 ounce and 1/2 ounce) but it was too minty. 2:1 (1 ounce Godiva and 1/2 ounce peppermint) was too sweet. 3:2 was just perfect.

I tried to come up with a good name for this, but 'After Eight' was the only thing coming to my head. I thought it may be trademarked, or something, so I've decided that 'After twenty hundred hours' would do just fine.
