Bahama Mama

In the spirit of Spring arriving soon I suggest this beautiful and powerful drink; its the perfect drink for enjoying a beautiful spring or summer day.

To make a Bahama Mama you will need:

1/2 oz. Light Rum

1/2 oz. Gold Rum

1/2 oz. Dark Rum

1/2 oz. Coconut Liqueur(Malibu is good)

Mix together in a shaker with ice, strain and pour into glass. Fill 1/2 with orange juice and 1/2 with pineapple juice, top with a splash of grenadine

To add an extra bit of flare garnish a cherry, pineapple wedge or one of those itty bitty umbrellas.

You can also easily make this into a Margarita by blending all of the ingredients together with ice.

Rum Runner

I found this beast of a drink at Disney World of all ironic places. A nice lady bought one of these for me on my honeymoon just before I went on a safari. I don't really remember much of that safari...

To make a Rum Runner you will need:

1 1/2 oz Rum (White)

1/4 oz Banana Liqueur

1/4 oz Blackberry Brandy

1/2 teaspoon Grenadine

5 ounces Sweet & Sour Mix

Pour all of the ingredients into a shaker with ice, strain and pour into a Cocktail glass.

If you want to kick it up a notch (Bam!) after you pour into the Cocktail glass float a fine layer of Bacardi 151 on top. It adds just a little bit of punch right at the end. This can also be turned into a refreshing margarita by simply blending it up with ice and pouring into Margarita glasses.

This is a pretty strong drink but its also a really tasty one! If done correctly it should have a light Reddish tint to it.

This is a classy drink I wouldn't waste making at just any party.

Michigan Sunrise

This one is a fresh new drink that arose out of necessity; we were running out of liquor to make drink with so we created something new!

This may look like a sissy drink but be warned: beneath its peachy exterior beats the heart of a vicious coma-inducing punch to the face. Calling for liquor after liquor this is the perfect drink to both sip and keep up with everyone in the room.

This drink calls for:

1 part Vodka
1 part Peach Schnapps
1/2 part Rum
Orange Juice
Grenadine

Mix the Vodka, Schnapps and Rum in a mixer with ice and strain into a glass. Top off glass with OJ and sink grenadine to the bottom. Serve and enjoy!

If done correctly it should have a soft peach look with a stripe of red across the bottom!

Superman Shot

While there are many Superman drinks out there none is probably as delightful as the Superman Shot. This is another one of those drinks that goes down like candy only to sneak up later in the form of slurred speech and falling on your ass.

This drink tastes remarkably similar to the 'Dirty Girl Scout' shot; to which the next post will be on. This is another very easy and simple drink to make.

There are several ways to make the Superman Shot and it should be noted that there is no wrong way. In the game of drinking there are no losers. Except the designated driver.

In a shaker put equal parts Blue Curacao and Goldschlager; strain and pour into the glass. Then sink Grenadine to the bottom and serve! If made correctly it should turn out to be a dull green color.

I have no warnings for this one except be careful who you order this shot in front of. It's not a very manly shot and you might get a weird look from the bartender. Or your girlfriend.
