Favorite cocktail names

Ghoulish Delight · 10-11-2005, 04:47 PM

From the titilating (Sex on the Beach) to the controvertial (Irish Car Bomb), people have gotten pretty creative with cocktail names. So what are some of your favorites. And, while you're at it, post the recipe.

I'll start with a classic, Long Island Iced Tea. Not only do I love the drink, I love the name. It conjures up an image of some stressed out upper-middle class housewife, over run with kids, whose neighbor comes over and says, "Honey, what you need is a nice refreshing 'iced tea' to calm down," and proceeds to inconspicuously get wasted thanks to this most innocent looking beverage.

Long Island Iced Tea
1 part rum
1 part vodka
1 part gin
1 part tequila
1 part triple sec
splash of sweet and sour
splash of cola
twist of lemon
Shake and server in a tumbler on ice

And since I mentioned them...

Sex on the Beach
4 parts vodka
3 parts peach schnapps
2 parts cranberry juice
2 parts grapefruit juice
mix and serve in a highball

Irish Car Bomb
1/2 shot Bailey's Irish cream
1/2 shot Irish Whiskey
1 can Guiness Stout
Pour the Guiness into a mug about 3/4 full. Pour the Bailey's and whiskey into a shot glass, Bailey's first. Drop the shot glass into the beer. Now chug like an Irishman, 'cause the Bailey's will start to curdle!

Not a fan of the cocktail, really. I like a simple drink. Rum and Coke. Gin and Tonic. A Gimlet is about as complicted as I get:

Gimlet

1 1/2 oz Gin
1 oz Lime Juice
1 tsp Powdered Sugar
Ice

Mostly I prefer the standard, "gimme a beer, how about a [insert beer of choice] here" or, "Scotch. Neat."

The Sex and the City girls would hate me.

Just to be clearer than the mud of my first post...it's the names I'm after. What cocktail names do you like?

Mojito. Just saying it makes me happy. Mojito! Mojito! Mojito!

One of my clients is a very nice guy who is single and looking- has been for quite a while.... He met up with a girl the weekend before last and offered to buy her a drink. He had to go up to the bartender, as there was no server around, so he asked the girl what she wanted. He cringed when she told him: a Cowboy C o c k s u c k e r. I should add that he was at a country/biker bar- lol.*

(*She flashed her boobs later in the evening, so he was a happy boy)

I still want to try a Head Shock- Absinthe and Tequila.

There were people at Uva drinking "Blow Jobs" which I promptly renamed (because I couldn't rememer the real name) a "Cum in your Mouth". But, that just my gutter mind on overtime.

I hate most modern cocktail names, mostly because the cocktails are gross and having a erotic names does nothing for a vile tasting cocktail. But, I am a purist.

Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred, up
Manhattan, up
Bushmills, rocks

I like those names.

About the only mixed drink I liked are:

Gin and Tonic
BhuraPeg (Champagne, Cognac, sugar cube, Angastora Bitters

I like the name mojito but I've never had a really great one.

Even my non-alcoholic cocktails of choice are frofro-less.
- Roses and Soda.

I find that the name means nothing if the glass isn't pretty and what's in the glass isn't pure and tasty.

Slippery Nipple shots...yum...butterscotch Schnapps with a floater of Baily's.

At Woody's I get a Tropical Itch, but the best was the Tropical Itch I drank in Hawaii.

At Red Robin I get a Screaming Red Zombie.
