Zephyr: The Zephyr cocktail is brandy-based and similar to the Hawaiian Brandy in flavor and mood. It’s fairly strong, with over 2 ounces of liquor in it. Most drinks with pineapple syrup are pretty sweet, but this one only uses two dashes of it. In fact, the dominant ingredient by far is the cognac, so while the ingredients make the Zephyr sound like a good choice for people who don’t drink often or are still developing a taste for alcohol, this ...

El Cerro: El Cerro means “the hill” in English. No word on how this cocktail got that name, but El Cerro is a popular name for restaurants and nightclubs, so it may have come from one of them originally. The El Cerro is a rum-based cocktail that’s fairly strong, but it has enough fruit juice to be refreshing. The half-ounce of Galliano gives it an herbal note, but only enough to balance the sweetness from the rest of the ingredients. El Cerro 1 ounce ... READ MORE

Fuzzy Prick: Yes, the Fuzzy Prick really is a cocktail. It’s also a great way to insult a guy while pretending to be hospitable. Like, if you’re buying the first round, you guess what everyone wants, and when you get to the guy you don’t like, you say, “And you – Fuzzy Prick?” And he gets all flustered and angry, and you blink innocently and say, “It’s a Fuzzy Navel with pineapple juice instead of orange. Have you never had one? Oh, ... READ MORE

Hawaiian Brandy: Like most cocktail recipes with the word “Hawaiian” in them, the Hawaiian Brandy is fruity and sweet. Its main ingredient is Calvados, an apple brandy from Lower Normandy. Next up is pineapple juice, followed by nicely blended touches of cherry-almond and lemon. It sounds like an impossible smorgasbord of fruit flavors that may not play nice with each other, but the ratios are just right to make it subtle and delicious. It’s a little more grown-up and complex than, say, a ... READ MORE

Blue Hawaiian: The Blue Hawaiian is akin to the Pina Colada, based on rum and cream of coconut and promising a little taste of tropical paradise. The big difference is the color: as the name suggests, it’s blue. Specifically, it’s the color of a sparkling pool on a clear, sunny afternoon. Unlike unmixed alcoholic drinks, cocktails are about visual appeal as well as taste and kick. Even without a cocktail umbrella and a pineapple-cherry garnish, this cocktail has it all. Blue Hawaiian 1 ounce Blue ... READ MORE

Painkiller: You could think of the Painkiller as a more grown-up version of the Pina Colada. This cocktail recipe uses dark rum instead of light, and adds orange juice and nutmeg in place of the cream, making it a little more tart and sophisticated. But the easy-going tropical pineapple and coconut flavors still dominate. The original recipe was developed by Daphne Henderson, who ran a bar called The Soggy Dollar in the British Virgin Islands. It’s still a secret, but the Pusser ... READ MORE

Pina Colada: The Pina Colada is a summertime classic that deserves more respect than it gets. It may be sweet and it may be palatable to people who don’t drink much or are just starting, but it’s a wonderful treat for seasoned cocktail lovers, too. The classic recipe is simply one part white rum, one part coconut cream and three parts pineapple juice, and it’s delicious. But there are some other options. Pina Colada 1 jigger of white rum 1 ounce of dark rum 1 jigger ... READ MORE

Zombie: Ever wondered what happens if you mix loads of rum with several different fruit juices and drink the results? Answer: the fruit masks how much alcohol you’re consuming, and you find yourself in a stupor. The Zombie contains 3.5 times as much alcohol as you normally find in a fairly strong cocktail. The restaurateur who invented the drink limited customers to two drinks apiece. You have been warned. Zombie 1 jigger white rum 1 jigger dark rum 1 jigger golden rum 1 jigger apricot brandy 1 ...
