This refreshing drink with a kick to it was born in the New York famous hotspot called The Anchor (Hudson Square – SOHO area). Usually made from White Tequila, Yellow Chartreuse, lemon juice or pineapple juice and sugar syrup. I used lemon juice.

First, this is not a cocktail. It is a shooter. Second, it is very potent. It has Cinnamon Scnapps which is nearly 100 proof and 1800 Silver Tequila which is also 100 proof. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

This is a variation of the traditional Sidecar. Instead of cognac, you use Tap 357 which is an unique maple whiskey (made from rye and maple) from Canada (Quebec, if I am not very mistaken). The other two ingredients are Cointreau and lime juice.

One of those wintry drinks when you long for some sweet but stinging drink – butterscotch schnapps, creme de cacao and vodka.

Knob Creek Bourbon, Raspberry Schnapps, Triple Sec, Mint and Sugar.

Tried my first home made spherical ice cube (I recognize the oxymoron 🙂 ). Went well with the single barrel Four Roses bourbon…

Tried one more rum and Midori drink- this one has Midori, Malibu Rum, Peach Schnapps, Vodka, Cranberry juice and Orange juice.

This beautiful looking rum based drink is made from Midori, coconut infused rum, orange juice and pineapple juice.

A very soothing drink involving Citron Vodka, Mandarin Vodka, Tonic Water and Sprite…

Dark Rum, Cognac, Amaretto liqueur, Orange juice and sour mix.
