Pinetto

1/3 Amaretto (Disaronno preferably)
2/3 Pineapple Juice
+ a DASH of sprite

SHAKE IT LIKE A SALT-SHAKA

DRINK

repeat

Having read this, I believe I am going to make myself another Black Russian.

Me, I'm not into the fruity-tooty sugar drinks. I like some flavour, but I believe that a man's drink ought to be at least 50% spirits.

One of my favourites that the bars never, ever know how to make is the Boston Sidecar:

1 1/2 oz. Light Rum
1/2 oz. Brandy
1/2 oz. Triple Sec (I stick to Grand Marnier)
1/2 oz. Lime Juice (lemon is OK)

Mix with ice in a shaker and strain into a cocktail glass.

This is the perfect finishing move, when you're ready for your "just one more" drink.

Oh, and I finally found that insane drink I got the last day in Mexico (this was what I was talking about on poutine day):

Hurricane
1 oz. Vodka
1 oz. Gin
1 oz. Light Rum
1/2 oz. Bacardi 151 or other Overproof Rum
1 oz. Amaretto
1 oz. Triple Sec
1/4 oz. Grenadine

Pour all of the above into a hurricane glass (with ice) and fill the rest with half grapefruit juice and half pineapple juice. Or substitute either or both with passionfruit juice.

If this doesn't knock you out, nothing will.

It is time

Dirty Gin-Martini
[for about two servings]
3oz Gin (been using Hendrick's)
1.5oz Vermouth
0.5oz olive brine
garnished with two spanish olives.

I've also been reversing the quantities of vermouth and brine when I feel like something saltier.

Otherwise it's a glass of GreyGoose w/ ice, or some Ardbeg 10y w/ no ice, depending on whether I want something warm or cold to drink.

Holy ass-crackers, that's a lot of vermouth! You know the normal ratio is 1/2 oz. vermouth or less to 2 1/2 oz. gin or vodka, right?

Yeah, a friend of mine who used to bartend reacted the same way.

I actually kind of like it that way though. At her encouragement, I've been experimenting with different amounts of vermouth, anywhere from just rimming the glass to the full 1.5oz... To put in perspective though, I'll drink sherry on occasion (vermouth seems very, very similar), and don't really consider (straight) gin a favourite liquor at all, so maybe that's why the 1.5oz seems okay to me.

Regardless, the New York Bartenders Guide (which I picked up on sale at Chapters 'cause I'm a loser who needs a book to make mixed drinks) breaks the drink down like that. Of course this doesn't prove anything other than that I've not come up with such a ridiculous ratio on my own!
