Mimosa

When it comes to 'after-morning' drinks the Mimosa ranks very high on my list. This is a cool and crisp drink that marries the delicious taste of Orange Juice with the much needed infusion of alcohol to take away the hangover headache.

Making a Mimosa is simple, which is lucky since being hungover can cripple most morning activities. You will need:

Sparkling Wine

Orange Juice

Mix 2 parts Orange Juice with 1 part Sparkling Wine. Since this is an 'after-morning' drink who am I to tell you how much of each. Simply stick to the 1 part vs 2 parts rule and you'll be set!

To add a touch of class (if being enjoyed later in the morning or early evening) you can garnish with Orange slices and a sprig of Mint.

Champagne Blitz

This is one of the classiest drinks I've ever seen. If you're having a fancy cocktail party or you're just trying to impress that special lady (or man as the case may be) this is the drink for you.

Its a cool and crisp blending of two fantastic flavors: Creme de Menthe and Champagne. Now the type of Champagne that you use is entirely up to you but for a crisp and upbeat drink go with something light and bubbly - definitely not a Brut.

To make a Champagne Blitz you need:

4 oz Champagne
3/4 oz Creme de Menthe

Pour both ingredients into a Champagne flute and stir together. If done correctly it should have a beautiful light green color.

This bubbling mint flavored drink is the perfect addition to any sophisticated social gathering.

Green Beer

Today being St. Patrick's Day a.k.a. the only holiday where its not only OK but encouraged for everyone to get drunk I decided to go with the standard classic. Nothing fancy or frilly; just a good-old manly drink: Green Beer.

Personally, I go with Miller Lite but any old beer will suffice. To create Green Beer you will need:

Lots of beer

Green food coloring

To go along with the ingredients it is encouraged that you also have an awesome pitcher to make it all in. Something about serving beer out of a pitcher adds a touch of class to any event. To properly enjoy Green Beer it should also be consumed out of Pilsner glasses to continue that classy look.

Simply add 5 drops of green food coloring to the bottom of the pitcher and fill with 5 beers. Drink and repeat as necessary or until you can't feel your face anymore.

Also, here's a look back at all of the green drinks we've featured so far:

Appletini

Jagermeister

Dirty Girl Scout

Superman Shot

Blueberry Bomb

This shot is pure awesome-ness. The Blueberry bomb is deceptively smooth but will definitely get the job done.

The strength of the shot is entirely in the hands of its pour er so take caution the first few times you try this drink, we suggest the following for beginners:

1 1/2 oz Blueberry Stoli
1 1/2 oz Green Apple Pucker
Redbull

Pour the Stoli and Pucker into a glass and fill with Redbull. How simple is that?! Unfortunately despite the presence of Green Apple Pucker the end product looks suspiciously like a cup of pee. Which, to be honest was something I had a hard time getting over.

However, once you get past its initial appearance you will find this drink to be amazing. Both in its ease of creation and how fast you can put them away. Not too sweet not too strong this should be a staple in everyone's pre-party recipe book.

For those of you drinkers who are looking for a little more love in their shots try doubling the liquor amounts. The Redbull will still cover most of the bite from the Vodka.

Also, if this drink gets too boring for you try mixing it up and drinking it like a true 'Bomb'.

To do this you remove the Green Apple Pucker from the mix and just have a shot of Blueberry Stoli and a glass half full with Redbull. As all bombs go, drop in and chug!

Deliciousness

This was a recent creation from my last trip to Alma, MI. This is a simple yet amazingly delicious drink; hence the name.

To create Deliciousness you will need:

3oz. Plum Vodka
Pepsi

Pour 3oz Plum Vodka into a tall glass and then fill with Pepsi; to add some class garnish with a Maraschino cherry or an Orange slice. If its mixed correctly it should taste slightly fruity; phantom flavors of Cherries and Cranberries pop despite the Plum flavoring.

Caution: despite its light fruity flavor this drink packs a punch, keep in mind each one of these has 3oz of Vodka so after 2 or 3 you should get up and walk around to make sure you still have that ability.

Warm Apple Pie Shot

This sounds like a girly drink and while it may not be quite as strong as some of the other shots that we've featured on here but this still deserves our respect. Like many of our favorite drinks this one was started as a shot in the dark.

To make a Warm Apple Pie Shot you will need the following:

1/2 oz vodka

1/4 oz DeKuyper® Sour Apple Pucker schnapps

1/4 oz Goldschlager® cinnamon schnapps

1/2 oz whipped cream

Now I don't normally endorse shots that are topped with whipped cream for the simple fact that it's usually a pain in the ass to drink. In saying that, I ordered this shot without the whipped cream on it last time I had it.

The whipped cream doesn't add much to the flavor except some sweetness to cover the taste of the liquor. I prefer it without.

Either way, this is an amazingly smooth and delicious shot to take; whether you like the whipped cream or not.

Washington Apple

This drink gets its name from it's flavor. It tastes just like an apple. Be warned just because it has a fruity name does not mean this drink lacks any punch.

To make a Washington Apple you need:

1/2 oz. Crown Royal

1/2 oz. Sour Apple Pucker

1 splash Cranberry Juice

Add Crown Royal and Sour Apple Pucker into a shot glass and then add a splash of cranberry juice.

Listen up guys, this is a drink that you and your lady can enjoy together. She will love It and love you after a few of these.
