Butterscotch Mudslide Shake

Cocktail resembling a chocolate milkshake

The Butterscotch Mudslide Shake sounds like one of those sweet drinks for lightweights, but no. It’s 6 ounces of alcohol, and even though they’re liqueurs and therefore not particularly high proof, this one still sneaks up on you. This drink is very sweet and rich, so obviously it’s a nice dessert substitute. Think of it ... Read the full article →

Fiery German

Close up shot of an amber whisky or liquor

The Fiery German is a simple shot to pour, but the flavor is complex. It features the herbal notes of Jagermeister (often described as something like black licorice) and the spice of cinnamon.

Hawaiian Hammer

Hawaiian Hammer served on the beach

The Hawaiian Hammer is one of those sneaky drinks that’s got a lot more kick than you’d think. It’s technically a double, with three ounces of alcohol, but because there’s twice as much fruit juice, it goes down smooth. This drink is a wonderful alternative to traditional tropical rum cocktails. Enjoy it the next time ... Read the full article →

French Toast

French toast cocktail in a cocktail glass

The French Toast drink recipe really does taste pretty much like its namesake. It’s a sweet little cocktail, perfect as a shot or a longer drink. It’s really not very good as a breakfast replacement, just in case you were wondering. It’s fabulous as a dessert replacement, however. It’s also enjoyable as a nightcap, or ...

Neon Tea

The Neon Tea cocktail before a white backdrop

The Neon Tea cocktail, like the Long Island Iced Tea cocktail, throws a bunch of white liquors in together and disguises the surprising strength of the alcohol in a beguiling sweet flavor: in this case, sour apple schnapps.

Five Aces

A Five Aces cocktail in a shot glass

The Five Aces cocktail blends an intriguing combination of flavors: almond, a hint of apricot and sour apple. This is one shot that deserves to be sipped rather than tipped.

Dark Lord

Three Dark Lord cocktails lined up against a pink background

After a long day of training with pretentiously good wizards who lecture endlessly about not allowing your magic to corrupt your soul to evil, you may sometimes feel like “Enough already!” and just want to cut loose with something a little bit naughty.

Rampage

Rampage cocktail against white background with cherry and lemon garnish

I’m not sure how the Rampage cocktail got its name. It’s not likely to send you on a rampage. It can hardly go on a rampage by itself. Maybe it’s just the Captain Morgan’s spiced rum and its association with pirates that made somebody think of rampaging. In any case, the Rampage is a spiced ... Read the full article →

Caramel “J”

The Caramel "J" cocktail served against a red background

The Caramel “J” is one of those drink recipes you might refer to as an alcoholic milkshake. The addition of a ripe banana makes it especially smooth and rich. It’s definitely dessert in a glass.

Coco Butter

The Coco Butter Cocktail sitting on a restaurant table with a woman's arm in the background

The Coco Butter starts with a familiar combination – Kahlua and milk. But then it adds a healthy dose of butterscotch schnapps, and that distinguishes it from the competition. This is a tasty, sweet and rich drink (if you use whole milk). Enjoy a Coco Butter as an aperitif, or after dinner for a light ... Read the full article →

Ground Zero

Ground Zero cocktail

The Ground Zero cocktail has a strange combination of flavors. Peppermint and coffee mingle with whiskey for a taste that’s just plain hard to describe, and definitely not for everyone. It’s sort of smoky and minty and earthy. This is a pure alcohol shot, and as such, can be chugged or savored. It’s nice for ... Read the full article →

Imagine this: a raisin-free oatmeal cookie in the form of a drink. That’s what the Oatmeal Cookie cocktail tastes like.

Mage’s Fire

Two Mage's Fire cocktails against white background

The Mage’s Fire can be blended on demand as a drink, but it’s designed to be mixed together in a vodka bottle and poured like a straight drink, served as shots.

Oh My God

The Oh My God cocktail, spotlit

The Oh My God cocktail is so named because that’s what one might tend to say after tasting it. It’s a pretty wonderful flavor, blending pineapple, peach and apple together.

Magic Pixie

Magic Pixie cocktail against blue background

As cocktail recipes with a lot of ingredients go, the Magic Pixie is pretty simple. One ounce of this, one ounce of that, top it all off with something else, no shaking, no stirring, no garnish.

Mexican Red Hot

Four red shooters, lined up in a row

The recipe for a Mexican Red Hot cocktail calls for Aftershock cinnamon schnapps.

This cocktail does actually taste a lot like the candy it’s named ... Read the full article →

Georgia Pie

Orange cocktail against gray background

With a name like Georgia Pie, you might expect this cocktail to contain Southern Comfort and taste peachy. And you’d be right.
