Name a Dresden Drink!
« 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!

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."

Is it me, or should a lot of anything to do with the Winter Court have at least a dash of blue Curacao in it?
