Title: Name a Dresden Drink!
Post by: Esperacchius on June 10, 2010, 08:07:35 AM
Ok, so I put my noggin to work and came up with some Dresden inspired drinks.  Feel free to add!

"Cowl"(shot):
1 oz. Grenadine
2 oz. Captain Morgan’s Tattoo (Spiced Rum)
Top with a splash of Vanilla Vodka
Directions: Pour the grenadine into a double shot glass.  Layer the Tattoo rum on top by pouring over a bar spoon.  Top off with a short layer of vanilla vodka.

"The Winter Lady"(Martini):
 42 Below Vodka (any Vodka I suppose, just thought that was funny)
Apple Cider
Blue Curacao
Shake with fresh lime
Finish with sparkling white wine.
(sorry, missed the proportions on that one.  should be greatest to least)

"Lilly"(Highball):
1/2 Shot Gold Tequila
1 shot Blue Curacao
1 1/2 Shots OJ
1 Shot Pineapple Juice
1/2 shot (squeeze) Lime
1/2 Shot Cointreau
 Shake and serve over ice.

"Fix"(highball):
3/4 shot Blue Curacao
1/2 bottle Mike’s Hard Limeade
1/2 shot Melon Liqueur
1/2 Lime (cut into wedges)
Cut your half a lime into four wedges.  Squeeze the lime juice into a highball glass and then drop them in the bottom.  Add some ice overtop the limes, then pour in the Blue Curacao.  Add the Mike’s Hard Limeade until the glass is almost full, then top with your Bols Melon.  Stir a bit with a straw and enjoy.  Tip: make sure you don’t add too much Bols Melon, or the melon flavor will overpower the lime. 

"Mac's Dark"(highball?):
3/4 shot of 99 Bananas
3/4 shot of Coconut Rum
about 1/2 a highball glass of Root Beer
about 1/2 a highball glass of  Fuze-Banana Colada
Throw some ice into a nice, large highball glass.  Pour in the 3/4 shots of 99 Bananas and coconut rum.  Then, simultaneously pour in the Banana Colada Fuze and your favorite root beer evenly until it reaches the top of the glass.  Stir and enjoy.

"Three Eye"(Rocks Glass):
1 shot Watermelon Vodka
2 shots Rose’s Blue Raspberry Mix (Cocktail Infusions)
1/2 glass Monster Energy Drink
Pour in the Watermelon Vodka in a rocks glass over ice.  Add the Blueberry Martini Mix next and then layer the Monster on top.

"Sue"(Highball):
1 Shot Sour Apple Liqueur
1/2 Shot Melon Liqueur
1/2 Shot Lime Juice
2 Shots Apple juice
Shake, serve over ice.

"Fuego!/Hellfire"(snifter):
Equal parts Bacardi 151, Redhot Schnapps, and White Creme de Menthe.
THIS IS A FLAMING DRINK.  SOME RULES YOU SHOULD FOLLOW HERE:http://www.drinknation.com/bartending/flaming-drinks
Combine all into snifter with a narrow opening.  Ignite.  To drink, cover with your hand COMPLETELY to put out the flame, drink like a shot, Re-ignite the fumes (and there WILL still be fumes in the glass), again put out the flame, but instead of taking your hand off the glass, stick a straw between your fingers, and suck out the remaining fumes.  This is a modified "Flaming Green Martian" from a bar near my Alma Mater. I don't know the measurements, but I'd guess it's a half a shot of each.  Trust me when I say you shouldn't do more than 2 of these.  LOL!

"Molly"(Highball):
1 Shot Bols Strawberry (or just Strawberry Liqueur)
1 Shot Bols Raspberry (or just Raspberry Liqueur)
1/2 Shot Peach Juice
2 1/2 Shots Milk
1/2 Shot Blue Curacao
Shake first 4 ingredients with ice, pour into highball, layer Blue Curacao on top, serve.

"He Who Walks Behind"(Highball):
1 Shot Vodka
1/2 Shot Banana Liqueur
1/2 shot Blue Curacao
1 Shot Black Sambuca
1/2 Shot Cherry Liqueur
1/2 Shot Lime Juice
Sprite
Shake first six ingredients with ice and strain into ice-filled highball.  Top with Sprite and two Cherries (for the eyes, you see).

"Kincaid"(Highball):
1 1/4 oz Vodka
1 1/4 oz Malibu Rum
3/4 oz Midori
2 tbsp pineapple juice
1 splash cranberry juice
Mix well, serve in chilled glass or over ice.

"Hendricks"(Shot):
1/2 Shot Butterscotch Schnapps
1/2 Shot Goldschlager
Mix and Drink.  Kinda tastes like Carrot Cake.  Get it?  Carrot cake, carrot top?  Heh.

That's all I've got for now!  I'll come up with something for Murph, etc later.  Anyone else have ideas?

Okay, I now see my idea of a "Harry Dresden" being straight grain alcohol ("IT BURNS!") was lame to the extreme. The "Hellfire" kicks its ass.

I'm sure I read somewhere in one of the books how one of the female characters referred to Dresden as a "Long tall drink of water".

Hence, "Dresden" - simple, classic, tall glass of water.  Serve chilled with lemon, or hot and bothered with a dash of tomato juice and tabasco, which ever suits your taste at the time!

Fantastic Idea Dude... How about
"Shagnasty" (Dresdens nickname for the Skinwalker),
the Archive,
MAB,
the Outsider,
BOB,
Nickel Heads (Nickname for the denarians).
1 for each of the swords... Esperacchius, Fidelacchius, Amoracchius

 there are so many possibilities... awesome

and two of them will kick YOUR ass.  Seriously.  The bar I went to that served it wouldn't let you have more than two, and for good reason.  That thing will wipe your slate clean.

I know there's a drink called a vampire (I think it's Chambord, vodka, and cranberry juice).  I'm sure some enterprising person could adapt some for the DF vampire Courts.  (I only drink wine and haven't the faintest idea of how to create a mixed drink.  :P )

Hence why I said a shot of Everclear should be, in honor of Murphy, the "Small but Mighty."

I keep thinking gimlet, with Snow Queen vodka for Mab.

Actually, editing to add this. Wasn't it Mab who got described as having lips like frozen raspberries? Well, then.

Frozen Raspberry Daiquiris
12 oz. bag of frozen raspberries

1 can (6 oz.) frozen lemonade

1 can water

1 can rum

Put the raspberries and lemonade in a blender. Use the can from the lemonade to measure out your water and rum. Mix all in the blender until smooth.

I am sure we all thought of the Maeve being Mac's lemonade with lemonade ice cubes, but to "Winter" it up even more, what about this?  

HOW TO MAKE ICE STRAWS

step 1Materials
IKEA, the horror show that it is, sells an ice tray that makes cube sticks that fit into water bottles. You'll need: 1 Ice cube tray (as mentioned above) Enough straws to fit in each compartment a Small bit of clay


step 2Preparation
Cut each straw so that they fit into the ice compartments. Be sure to leave it long enough so that they can be supported above the bottom of the tray by friction (that is, make them a tiny bit longer than the tray). Next, pit a tiny bit of clay into each end of the straw. This will keep water out of the straw for easy removal later. Push one straw into each compartmen…


step 3Freeze and Finish
Place your tray in the freezer for a few hours or until completely frozen.Once your tray is frozen, carefully remove each ice straw.Removing plastic strawI found the easiest way to remove the straw was to allow the straws to thaw for about 10 minutes. Then push a skewer through the clay and straw. The friction from the clay pushed out the straw far enough that I could get it out.  Voila!  Ice Straw

Since I can't have Mac's I'll have one of my father in laws microbrewed beers. But no, I don't drink beer.
I do like to mix drinks, so perhaps I can think of one to add.

'Charity' Virgin Raspberry Mojito (I figure Charity doesn't approve of alcohol)

1 oz Sugar Syrup,
10-15 fresh spearmint leaves (You can get them at herb section. Or grow them.)
10-12 fresh raspberries
3/4 oz lime juice
1 cup ice
Sprite

Start by pulverizing the mint (muddling) in the bottom of the mixer with the sugar syrup. This brings out the flavor and gets the syrup all minty.
Add Raspberries, lime juice, and ice. Shake vigoruosly until mixture is well blended and frosty.
Poor into a tall glass, top with a few more ice cubes, and then finish off the glass with sprite.
Stir and garnish with a couple whole raspberries.

This comes out pretty awesome. I made it in a punch bowl for a bridal shower once, and the girls couldn't taste a difference between it and a boozey mojito at all. Plus you can drink all you want!

One for Molly. It also hints at the Jedi/Padawan relationship. However, it's a real drink.

Jedi Mind Trick
1 shot glass with curved bottom (See here (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2632/3757550773_1fa2fe0321.jpg))
"some" Sambuca

Flip shot glass upside down.
Fill small curved bottom with Sambuca
Snort (Yes, with your nose. You snort it.)

"Mab":
1.5 parts UV Blue Vodka
1.5 parts Lemonade
1 part Mountain Dew “White Out” (limited edition)

Fill glass with ice, crushed or otherwise.  Pour UV Blue and lemonade into the glass, then top with Mountain Dew White Out.

Really like the Winter Queen martini, and the Hellfire! Can't wait to see what you come up with for Murphy, Esper.

Sorry, Katty - I don't do Everclear!

I think we'll need to get this thread (and any other which contains such things as recipes) moved to a more permanent place if we want to hang onto them.

I wonder if there would be a possibility of creating a 'Library' sub forum where we could put threads like this.  Remove the general comments, but keep the information.

How about "Dead Man Floating"

Strawberries with top leaves.
Kiwi (leave skin on)
Southern Comfort
Kahlua
small scoop of Vanilla Ice cream
Cloves an crushed cinimon sticks for garnish

Proportions unimportant, mix to your taste.
Blend strawberies and Kiwi, leave the skin on the Kiwi. It gives the drink "hair"
Add the alchohol
scoop in the icecream and garnish with cloves and cinimon sticks.

It looks like something you just dragged out of the lake, but oh it tastes so good.

I think the Long Island Iced Green Tea is a bit Archivy for me... It sure makes you forget about everything you knew...

1 measure rum
1 measure triple sec
1 measure vodka
1 measure gin
1/2 measure absinthe
juice of 1 small lemon

Combine ingredients over ice, shake and serve in a tall glass over ice. Add a dash of coke and garnish with a lemon slice.

Ebenezer:
1 shot vodka
1 shot Southen Comfort
2 shot tequila

Put in a tall glass, fill with ice. Place a circle of lime over the top, and suck the mis through.

So called because when it hits you, you go down. And stay down.

Although that could be due to it being a quadruple...

That reminds me of GOB and his Forget-Me-Nots on Arrested Development. 

            "They're pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness.
            So if somebody finds out how you do a trick, you just give
            'em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It's a
            mainstay of the magician's toolkit, like how clowns always have
            a rag soaked in ether. "


And NOW I'm imagining GOB hitting on Ivy.  Ew.
