Red Demon

byocksLeave a comment

Today’s Drink is not only on schedule, but is a potent blast of berry flavor. The Red Devil is one of those dangerous mixes, like the “Long Island Iced Tea,” which is sure to get you plastered if you’re not drinking lightly. This variation is a half recipe of the Red Devil. that I’m calling the “Red Demon.” The plus to the Red Demon is that it will fit in a pint glass. The Red Devil will not, you’ll have to find something bigger.

Red Demon
3/4 oz Peach Schnapps
3/4 oz Vodka
3/4 oz Sloe Gin
3/4 oz Southern Comfort
1 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Orange Juice
Dash of Grenadine

Shake all with ice, serve into an half iced pint glass. (For Red Devil find something big enough or serve in two pints)

I figured the Majora’s Mask glass fit the theme of “Demon” quite well.

*Update: This drink makes the potency of a Long Island Iced Tea look mild. Watch how fast you’re downing this one.

Watermelon

Well here I am a day late on a post again, but this time around this isn’t a drink I can recommend. The “watermelon” is a drink that tastes a little like iced tea mixed with a general but undefined juice. The only way I’d serve this to someone is as a finishing drink when said guest is too tipsy to know the difference. Don’t get me wrong it’s drinkable, just not as a starter.

“Watermelon”

1 oz Vodka
1 oz Midori
2 oz Cranberry Juice
Dash of Grenadine

Shake all with ice and strain into ice-filled Collins glass.

It should be good but…

Liquid Autumn

Well now that November is upon us I decided to make the original shot…

“The Liquid Autumn”

2 Parts Peach Schnapps
1 Part Spiced Rum

The shot in layered form has a the initial taste of spiced rum with a sweet aftertaste or the peach. If you’re looking for an even sweeter finish add a dash of grenadine, then layer on the Peach Schnapps and Spiced Rum (in that order, as higher proof ingredients are “lighter” in density).

Spiced Start with a smooth finish.

In addition to this week’s drink, I’ll be starting “Medium of Mixology: The Show.” Hopefully to be the first Wednesday of each month to bring the blog  to life (…with a vlog). Check out the “Show” page this Wednesday (and each first of the month) for the new episode(s).
