Romantic Valentine's Day Drinks

Planning a romantic dinner this Valentine's Day? Great drinks can complement your meal and give you a chance to impress, showing off your cocktail mixing skills. A number of these recipes are very easy to follow and each contains some sort of aphrodisiac like chocolate and strawberry.

Have fun with the cocktails you create by embellishing them with garnishes and side dishes that fit the mood. Carve fruit into the heart shapes or dip some strawberries in melted chocolate, even a heart-shaped candy with a cute message is a fun addition.

Valentine's Day Cocktail
Love flavors: blood orange, hot pepper

Sweet, sultry, and spicy, this cocktail is a fun one and different from many of the rest. It includes tequila, Chartreuse, blood orange, and serrano pepper.

This Valentine's Day Cocktail comes to us from Machete, an innovative Japanese restaurant in Bal Harbour, Florida.

What I really like about this cocktail is that it is a unique mix of flavors that begins with a very fine tequila. Personally, I would go with Cazadores Reposado, though their blanco would be a very good fit as well. To go with the tequila, this mix includes the herbal flavors of Chartreuse and the juice of a single slice of blood orange. What makes this drink go over to the truly impressive side is the hint of spice from the muddled pepper that gently infuses the agave nectar. It is one spectacular cocktail when all is said and done.

Berry Sweetheart
Love flavors: cranberry, honey

Non-alcoholic but full of sweetness, it's a mix of cranberry and apple juices with a little honey for sweetness.

Mocktails with cranberry juice are a good choice to offer non-drinking guests at a cocktail party. The cranberry adds a great snap to mocktails that takes the place of the snap of alcohol in cocktails. Find more Cranberry-Based Mocktails in the Maran Illustrated Bartending book.

Happily Ever After
Love flavors: cherry, rhubarb

This cocktail doesn't have the obvious aphrodisiacs but it is an amazing array of flavors. You will find a very nice rhum agricole, Cynar, Cherry Herring, and Averna, all topped off with two very special dashes of bitters.

For Valentine's Day, a wedding, romantic dinner, or any old time you feel like celebrating love and a lifetime of happiness, the Happily Ever After is a great cocktail.

There is so much going on in this drink that at first you may think your taste buds will be overwhelmed, but all of the flavors come together rather nicely. The Rhum J.M. Blanc is a rhum agricole, which is made directly from sugar cane. Cynar is an artichoke liqueur that is paired with Cherry Heering and Averna for a bitterly sweet combination. For the bitters, both can be found from Fee Brothers.

Love Potion #9
Love flavors: strawberry, chocolate

Another frozen cocktail with vanilla ice cream, strawberry vodka and fresh strawberries and cream de cacao.

There's no gaurantee that this cocktail is a love potion of any kind and it's probably not Madame Rue's magic shot. However, I can gaurantee that it looks nothing like Indian ink nor does it smell like turpentine. This Love Potion #9 is actually a really good frozen cocktail (especially with strawberry vodka and a chocolate-rimmed glass) and... who knows.

Bésame (Kiss Me)
Love flavors: raspberry, Damiana herb (Agavero), passion fruit

Fruity and refreshing, a drink with muddled raspberries and lime topped with passion fruit juice and Agavero and Chambord liqueurs.

Bésame, which translates to Kiss Me, is one of the best cocktails for romantic occasions. The ultra-smooth tequila liqueur called Agavero is the key to getting your date to pucker up. Known in Mexico for centuries as a potent aphrodisiac, the essence of the Damiana flower is infused into the tequila which itself is made from 100% blue agave.

10 Thanksgiving Cocktail Recipes

The main rule of thumb for selecting Thanksgiving cocktails should be: does it make you want to curl up by a fire and sip? Then it’s a potential Thanksgiving cocktail.

If you want to get even more of a Thanksgiving or autumn feel, think about fall harvest and all the traditional foods of Thanksgiving. Look to flavors like apple, pumpkin, cranberry, ginger and other spices. Consider warm drinks with or without coffee, and drinks featuring heavy cream or eggs.

There are a number of very traditional cocktail recipes that work, but I’ve also collected some more inventive ones you might enjoy.
Original Thanksgiving Cocktail Recipes

There are variations of several of these all over the internet, but these specific recipes are ours.

Classic Cocktails for Thanksgiving
First of all, there are some classic cocktails already featured here at Mix that Drink that will get your Thanksgiving off to a wonderful start, or finish:

1. Brandy Alexander
The Brandy Alexander is a dessert drink: chocolatey, sweet, creamy and smooth. Drinkers sometimes refer to it as a “milkshake” because the alcohol taste is so light. It’s a popular choice for those who don’t like the taste of alcohol but want to drink anyway. Serve it as an after-dinner drink, or to guests who want to drink along with everyone else but can’t stomach a stronger cocktail.

Recipe
1 1/2 ounces brandy
1 ounce dark creme de cacao
1 ounce half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Fill a shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the brandy, creme de cacao, and the half-and-half. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass. Sprinkle the grated nutmeg over the top. Tip: grind a fresh, whole nutmeg over the top of the drink and it’ll have more flavor than ground nutmeg from a jar.

2. B-52
Online, you’ll find quite a few variations on the B-52. The classic recipe layers Kahlua, then Bailey’s Irish Cream, and then Grand Marnier on top. The flavor of a B-52 is described by some bartenders as a little like caramel. It’s a subtle blend of coffee, orange, cream and whiskey flavors in which no single flavor stands out much above the others. The B-52 really deserves to be savored alone – it’s a dessert all on its own.

Recipe
1/2 ounce Kahlua (or Tia Maria)
1/2 ounce Bailey’s Irish Cream
1/2 ounce Grand Marnier (some people recommend amaretto instead – it’s also much cheaper than GM!)

Pour the Kahlua into a shot glass, then layer the Bailey’s, and then the Grand Marnier.

3. Stinger
The Stinger goes way back to the early 1900s. With creme de menthe and brandy as the two ingredients, it sounds very old-fashioned and high society. But it’s absolutely made for after dinner sipping on a chilly autumn evening. The best Stinger will use a high quality VSOP cognac, but a mid-range brandy will do just fine.

Recipe
1 jigger brandy
1/2 ounce creme de menthe

Shake the ingredients in a shaker full of ice, strain the mix into a cocktail or old fashioned glass, and serve.

The Stinger really is best enjoyed by itself. Very few foods go with a beverage that tastes strongly of mint. Plus, it’s just so delicious on its own. If you come up with something to eat that’s good with a Stinger, leave a comment about it!

4. Pumpkin pie Martini {MixThatDrink Original}

Make a Martinini and add vanilla and a touch of chocolate with pumpkin puree, cream and a graham cracker rim will make you feel almost like you’re eating pumpkin pie.

5. Caramel Candy {MixThatDrink Original}

Caramel vodka, cognac and vanilla liqueur form a very sweet cocktail that’s smooth as candy going down.

6. Pumkpin Pie Shot {MixThatDrink Original}
1/2 ounce Irish Cream
1/2 ounce amaretto
1/4 ounce cinnamon schnapps

Layer the ingredients in the order listed here, in a shot glass.

7. The Chocolate Raspberry {MixThatDrink Original}
1.5 ounces vanilla vodka
1 ounce chocolate liqueur
1 ounce Chambord
1 ounce half-n-half

Shake the ingredients together for twenty seconds, then strain into a chilled martini glass.

8. Butterscotch Coffee {MixThatDrink Original}
1 ounce butterscotch schnapps
1 ounce Irish cream
Hot Coffee
Whipped cream
Nutmeg

Pour the liqueurs into a coffee cup. Fill the cup the rest of the way with hot coffee. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

9. Caramel Apple Martini {MixThatDrink Original}
There are a number of different “Caramel Apple Martini” recipes out there – this is ours.
1.5 ounces DeKuyper Sour Apple Schnapps
1/2 ounce butterscotch schnapps
1/2 ounce cinnamon schnapps
1.5 ounces half-n-half or heavy cream
Cinnamon sugar (for rimming)

Rim a martini glass with cinnamon sugar. Shake the ingredients with ice and strain into the martini glass.

10. Ginger Spice {MixThatDrink Original}
1 ounce spiced rum
1/2 ounce ginger liqueur
1 ounce apple juice
Cinnamon stick

Shake ingredients together and strain into chilled martini glasses. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg, optionally.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Father's Day Drinks

Father's Day is a special occasion and it is a great excuse to make your father a special drink. This list includes some of the most popular "manly drinks," most of which require one type of whiskey or another but also a few with rum or tequila or a little of everything (see Long Island Iced Tea). The point is that Dad is likely not going to want any of the fruity, creamy or otherwise "girly" cocktails and you won't find any of those here. Pick up your father's favorite spirits and mix him up one of these very masculine drinks.

Find whiskey recommendations for Father's Day...

Manhattan
The Manhattan is the perfect upscale cocktail for the whiskey-loving Dad. Buy him a great bottle of rye which he may not get all the time, and stir this one up with dinner. If your father is more of a Scotch man, go for it and make a Rob Roy instead, or give him the real treat of a bottle of both whiskies along with a vermouth and let him decide.

Rusty Nail

Ah, the Rusty Nail, the true Scotch lover's cocktail. This is a very nice way to enjoy almost any Scotch whisky and because the Drambuie is Scotch-based, it is a perfectly subtle addition, beating a Scotch on the rocks out of the water (so to speak).

Godfather

The Godfather is simple, sophisticated and another easy way to spice up the average glass of Scotch. A small amount of amaretto contributes just enough mellow almond flavour to define a completely different experience without overpowering the whisky.

Frisco Sour

Try out this Frisco Sour on Dad if you think he would like a little pucker in his whiskey. It is slightly more complex than the classic Whiskey Sour due to the addition of the Cognac-based Benedictine and lime juice (fresh squeezed of course).

Sidecar
If you choose a Sidecar for Father's Day you have a few more choices to make. Cognac and Armagnac are the traditional bases for the cocktail but bourbon is more popular now and makes a very pleasant option. Or if Dad isn't quite a whiskey fan, go with a Boston Sidecar in which brandy and rum make up the base.

Imperial Fizz

Fizz drinks are great and if Father's Day ends up being one of the warmer days of June the Imperial (or Whiskey) Fizz is an excellent cool-me-down option. Essentially you're taking a Whiskey Sour and adding soda to create a nice highball. Another option is to serve both drinks, maybe one before dinner and the other after a round of golf.

Habanero Martini
Here's a hot and spicy tequila Martini begging for the guy who really likes to spice it up. The key is the garnish, without it you would merely have a Tequini, and what's the fun in that?

Lounge Lizard

There had to be a rum drink in this list somewhere. Since the Rum and Coke is one of the most popular among men I thought we'd go with a slightly more interesting variation, considering it is a special occasion and all. It's really nothing more than a little amaretto that distinguishes it apart from the other, but sometimes it's the smallest things that can make all the difference.

Long Island Iced Tea
You will need to raid the entire liquor cabinet to make this one up for Dad. The Long Island Iced Tea is notorious for being a strong drink and rightfully so because it contains five spirits. Men love this done and it makes the perfect afternoon patio companion while steaks are on the grill.

Lynchburg Lemonade

And what would a manly drink list be without one that specifically calls for Jack Daniels? That one brand of Tennessee whiskey is a favorite among many whiskey drinkers and beyond a Jack and Coke, the Lynchburg Lemonade is one of the best ways to enjoy it. You could even buy Dad his own barrel of JD. Now that would be a treat!
