Judgment Day Cocktail

Mon, 14 Aug 2006 20:34:32 -0400

I invented this cocktail for people who generally do not drink alcoholic beverages, except on special occasions. It offers a bright, pleasant, and fruity (orange) flavor but without the alcohol "bite." But, my friends, the G-forces are certainly hiding out in there, so BEWARE! Three of these and you'll get to thinking that YOU'RE in charge of Judgment Day! Actually, I named this unique cocktail in honor of the spectacular 1969 GTO which got dubbed as "The Judge". This early and beautiful muscle-car was only offered in the brilliant Carousel Red (which was actually bright orange) for the lion's share of it's first season and, its 400 cubic inch Ram Air engine made it a real Dreadnought of its day. And I said all that just to say this: The Judgment Day Cocktail thus shares many characteristics with its namesake, The Judge! I think that you'll love it! -- posted by Bone Man

Blue Lagoon

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 19:55:58 -0400

There is a really funny story behind this one, we were in fiji a while ago and i was only just 11. my brother being a lot older than me had a traffic light, my mum asked the waiter if i could have a non-alcoholic traffic light and he nodded his head and agreed.(mum has a stong kiwi accent and is hard to understand). so my drink comes and i love it so much that i literally down it, i slept very well that night, we asked for the recipe and when we got it my parents were in complete shock to see how much alcohol was actually in it!!! LOL -- posted by Perfect Pixie

Cafe Brulot (Café Brûlot Diabolique)

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 19:52:51 -0400

A Creole flambéed dessert coffee that is still served in grand style at some of New Orleans finest restaurants. This is a very special after-dinner drink, spectacular for entertaining. Can be prepared at the table with lots of fanfare to impress the guests. There are special brulot bowls made to prepare this drink, but a round, chafing dish works well. If you don't care about fancy presentation, you can just use a saucepan over low heat on the stovetop instead. -- posted by littleturtle

Orange Blossom

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 21:41:29 -0400

This tastes like "Orange Julius" with a kick. I remember one particular summer my sister and I floated in the pond* and drank these. Not a worry in the world :) * be careful--your raft may come out from under you. OMG YUM :) -- posted by Queen uh Cuisine

Tecumseh Sunrise

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 21:04:51 -0400

This cocktail was invented by my former brother-in-law, Randall Brown, in 1984 who was at that time the bartender at Shawnee State Park Resort Lodge in Friendship, Ohio. This is a pleasant, sweet, dessert cocktail with a lot of eye appeal. Of course, Tecumseh was a Shawnee Indian leader of much renown, living in the Ohio Valley during the late 1700s, early 1800s. -- posted by Bone Man

Leveque's Skip and Go Naked Cocktail

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 21:06:19 -0400

The LeVeque restaurant no longer exists in Portsmouth, Ohio, having closed its doors back in the 1980s. But, fortunately, before they threw in the towel, I talked one of their waitresses into giving me the recipe for their signature cocktail -- I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! -- posted by Bone Man

Buck's Fizz - Champagne and Orange Cocktail

Sun, 03 Dec 2006 12:24:15 -0500

A Traditional celebration drink in our house, served on Christmas Morning, Birthdays, Anniversaries and almost all other "excuses" for a "knees up"!! We do use Champagne, but if this seems just too sybaritic & over indulgent, you can use any good quality "Fizz". Freshly squeezed orange juice is de rigeur, but again, you can get great "fresh-tasting" orange juices in bottles & cartons too.......but please, NO ice & unsweetened is best! -- posted by French Tart

Orange Jelly Sour

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 15:35:41 -0500

Tawny Orange marmalade is what is called for in this recipe but any will do. I enjoyed this strained and even more just poured all into a martini glass. I like the effects of the marmalade at the bottom of the glass a nice surprise when the drink is almost done and it is prettier. -- posted by ~Rita~

Orange Tiger Martini

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 08:03:03 -0500

This martini is named after the RSC #8 winner - Tigerduck! It is totally scrumptious! After one, you will find yourself heading back to make another. I adore this martini! This martini is a celebration of the liquor, not a daiquiri. It is not too sweet, not too coco-nutty, and not too creamy. The mingling flavors party in your mouth. If you do not have two types of rum then use the one you have, just be sure they are premium rums or the result will not be the same. I created this recipe for RSC #9. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Agua De Valencia - Knock Your Socks off Spanish Cava Punch!

Wed, 02 May 2007 20:30:09 -0400

Valencia is true orange growing country, and this recipe is based on fresh orange juice, which is best - try not to use carton or bottled orange juice. And beware, this innocuous-sounding drink is strong! It must be served ice cold - if Cointreau is not available or too expensive - use a local orange liqueur. -- posted by French Tart

Orange Cream Mimosa

Thu, 10 May 2007 21:40:33 -0400

Slushed Slushy Slush

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 17:32:50 -0400

This is a great party drink recipe. You need to make it at least a day in advance. I like to leave a container of this mix in my freezer during the hot summer months. Whenever friends pop by (or if you've had a hard day!); it's easy to scoop out into glasses, add 7up or gingerale and you have a refreshing drink! I'm guessing at the serving amount, I just know that it makes A LOT! -- posted by LifeIsGood

Mango Lime Sangria

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 22:30:28 -0400

I don't usually drink wine, but tried this recipe and it could lead to me becoming a "winehead". This is such a great summer drink. This can be garnished with fresh mint or lavender. For some reason it would not recognize dry rose' wine, but that is what I used. -- posted by Sherrybeth

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 22:09:54 -0400

I picked up a bottle while in Sorrento, never knowing Lemoncello had a cousin! and ejoyed it;) I took a basic Lemoncello recipe and just used oranges. You can use 8 small/medium oranges instead of 6 large if needed. It is also great to bottle up and give out as gifts. -- posted by Antifreesz

Celebration Hot Rum Buttered Cider - Cider Hot Toddy

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 02:09:24 -0500

This spiced and hot rum buttered cider toddy is a wonderful drink throughout the cold winter months, and is perfect during the Festive Holiday Season as well. I use Scrumpy or local French Breton cloudy cider for this, which I believe is called Hard Cider in North America. Serve the hot rum buttered cider toddy in attractive warmed glasses and float a cinnamon stick on the top for that extra touch! -- posted by French Tart

This fruity drink is a crime of passion and will have you seeing red. It was inspired by RSC#11 ingredients but not entered because there are so many people that don't drink alcohol.

Prohibition Party Punch

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:25:02 -0500

This recipe is from an old cookbook I found. Homemade wine or beer was legal as long as it contained no more than one-half per cent alcohol. From Every Woman's Cook Book by Mrs. Chas. F. Moritz (1926) p. 617. If you can find a bootlegger in your area, I think some rum or whiskey would really perk this up. This recipe makes a LOT! Please keep this in mind when preparing this party punch for your local Speakeasy :) -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Cranberry Cornucopia Sangria

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:06:32 -0500

Adapted from "Peterson's Holiday Helper," by Valerie Peterson (Clarkson Potter, 2008). This is a blend of all the favorite holiday flavors, not really a true sangria. You can use a sparkling cider or grape juice, or even a champagne if you'd like to. Cherries are an excellent addition to this drink as well. This is best left to sit for overnight to let the flavors blend well. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Chocolate Orange Cream Cocktail

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:07:31 -0500

This is a drink that's as pretty as it is a sweet indulgence. In fact, we like to call it dessert in a martini glass. It tastes a bit like those Chocolate Orange Cream candy eggs, but a whole lot better and more grown up. Wanna really make this pretty? Drizzle some chocolate syrup lightly across the finished drink in a zig zag pattern. Oh yummy! -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Non-Alcholic Fruity Brunch Cocktail

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 20:41:03 -0500

This isn't just for brunch. It would be a nice non-alcoholic cocktail any time of day but it got the name because I threw it together this morning to drink while I put together Christmas brunch.

This light and fruity drink is perfect for sipping on a summer afternoon. An undeniable girly drink (not to say that guys should not enjoy it as well), it has no taste of alcohol, nor the cloying aftertaste that some overly sweet drinks have. This recipe can easily be multiplied to make a crowd-pleasing punch for your next shower, party, brunch, etc. The brands listed are those that Ruby Tuesday lists on their drink menu (how nice of them to tell us what is in their drink so that we can come home and make it ourselves!) -- posted by Oenophilly

Dan Akroyd created a "luxury vodka in a cool bottle" after being inspired by an ancient myth about the mystical powers of the 13 crystal skulls. In a weird bottle the "Crystal Head Vodka" sells for $44.95 for 750 ml. Am posting, as per a request. Found at bevmo.com. -- posted by Manami

La Provence's Bourbon Old Fashioned

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:07:03 -0500

In November 2009, my husband and I were delighted to be able to have Sunday brunch at Chef John Besh's restaurant, La Provence, in Lacombe, Louisiana. We fell in love with everything we ate that day, and I purchased a signed copy of Chef Besh's cookbook "My New Orleans". Our waitress was wonderful; the manager was personable & friendly. We even chatted with the head chef, Erick Loos IV, and he signed my cookbook, too. We also had a wonderful drink - an Old Fashioned. Unfortunately, the recipe for this drink was not in the cookbook. So I emailed the restaurant and they graciously sent me their recipe. We cannot wait to go back! -- posted by Kat's Mom
