I love those frozen peach drinks at Outback Steakhouse…the Wallaby Darned or something like that. And a Lemon Drop Martini is really good as well.

Margaritaville! Doesn’t a margarita sound good right about now, it sure does to me and its one of my favorite drinks of all time! I love drinking it especially when eating some chips and salsa! Yummo!

Here’s the recipe I use from Allrecipes.com:
1 (6 ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate
6 fluid ounces tequila
2 fluid ounces triple sec
*salt for the rim.

I’ve had a couple that are pretty damn good:
Hercules = blue curacao, lemon vodka, blueberry vodka triple sec shaken served in martini glass, a couple drops of Jaeger that sinks.

OR
Silverwasser & French Vanilla Bean Vodka Infused Martini – not sure whats in it but damn good.

OR
ORANGE So-Much-COOLER
1 oz. white rum
2 teaspoons blue curacao
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar syrup
1 orange

Directions: Slice off the top 1/8th of the orange and cut out the fruit. Leave in 1 1/2 oz. of the juice. Shake well all including the orange juice with cracked ice. Strain into the orange shell. Serve with a straw.

Not sure why it cut it off but:

Viktoria Sekret:
equal parts Peach schnapps, Raspberry Vodka, 3Sec, vodka, cranberry shaken and poured into a martini glass with 7up.
Guranteed for someone to lose their clothes!

Scurvy No More (SNM) is a recent drink made here on my island after being given a case of oranges and tangerines and having a love of bourbon. A spoonful of turbinado sugar muddled with an orange slice in the bottom of your glass. Rare Breed bourbon and fresh squeezed juice mixed with crushed ice and poured on top of sugar/orange slice-yum!

Instead of the usual spicy Bloody Mary, I opt for the Sweet & Smoky — a spritz of maple syrup with a strip of crisp bacon.

I love the Jackwagon from my local micro-brew pub. Deep, rich and delicious. Part stout, part house-made root beer. Not sure the ratio, besides it seems to be a little different depending on the bartender anyway.

It’s a triple tie. I love Midori Sours, Amaretto Sours and also love a good Sloe Gin Fizz. Tasty!

My favorite drink, well, favorite drink I make, is the Poke. Likely you’ve never heard of it.

I can very rarely finish a bottle of Port, because it’s so sweet. I hate to throw it away though, because with its high alcohol, it lasts a long time. So, I invented the very redneck drink, “Poke.”

Basically it’s a mixture of Port wine and Coke. It doesn’t sound terribly delicious, but I rather like it. Not a sophisticated drink in the least, but a Poke over crushed ice is rather refreshing. Plus, if you’re daring, you can make a Cherry Poke, which almost sounds dirty… O.o

My favorite drink is anything lemon. I love a glass of a really sweet sparkling wine and fresh lemon! Sweet & Sour!

It’s called Antifreeze – normally a shot, but can be a drink…

Three-Olives Dude (yes, a Mtn Dew-inspired flavored vodka, Apple Pucker, & Lemonade)

I’m loving Whipped Cream vodka with rootbeer on the rocks. Tastes just like a rootbeer float. YUM!

I make my own lemoncello. On the rocks, in a shot, in a granita, you name it, it’s good.

One of my all time favorite drinks/cocktails is the American Beauty:

1 part rosewater
2 to 3 parts pink champagne
1 to 2 parts of vodka

Mix in a cocktail shaker with ice, pour into a glass and add a rose petal or two. Tastes just like the scent of a rose

Here’s another one of my favorites, the Pink Sink:

2 ounces Absolut Kurant vodka

3/4 ounce peach schnapps

1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice

1/2 ounce cranberry juice

Place in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake then pour into a cocktail glass.

My all time fave is a Mike’s Hard Lemonade mixed with 2 shots of Captain Morgan rum. Mike & Morgan. Yummy.
