Mixed drinks or cocktails have taken a strange turn in recent years. In the past
it was the worm in the bottom of the tequila bottle today it's combinations that
include everything from bubblegum to pickled octopus. If you are adventurous and
want to veer from the ordinary here are some combinations to get your evening
started.
Liquor Drinks
* Irish Liquor, Amaretto, cream and mint.
* Grand Marnier with horseradish infused vodka with a rare slice of beef
tenderloin garnish.
* Frangelico, crème de cocoa blended with peanut butter served over ice.
Rum Drinks
* Dark rum blended with peeled and seeded avocado, cream, lime juice and
sugar.
Sake Drinks
* Sake, brown sugar, club soda, pineapple juice and celery garnish.
Vodka Drinks
* Potato vodka with garlic stuffed green olives.
* Vanilla vodka, bourbon, vanilla bean paste and lime juice garnished with
fresh rhubarb studded with peppercorns.
Martinis
* Gin martini garnished with a pickled octopus.
* Vodka martini blended with frozen espresso.
* Pepper vodka with a dash of hot pepper sauce and garnished with fresh
vegetables.
* Vodka martini that has been infused with bubblegum.
With these cocktail combinations in mind, head out for your evening on the town
and venture into the new cocktails of the twenty first century. But if by chance
these new cocktail combinations are not in the cards for you remember you can
always order a time tested pilsner.
