Kamikaze

May 17, 2020 / Monkeybrad / 0 Comments

I’m feeling nostalgic, maybe yearning for a lost bit of my misspent youth, or just missing old friends. Either way I jumped back to the early 90’s to college days for a Kamikaze.

Dirty Shirley & The Shirley Temple

May 15, 2020 / Monkeybrad / 0 Comments

Today, we have a two for one at Liam’s request. He asked for a cocktail of his own for his birthday and being a responsible parent, I said, “Of course.” I’ve never given kiddie cocktails much thought, because the obvious choice is the Shirley Temple and we will get to that one in a moment, but first we are gonna make the “adult” version of this kid’s classic, the Dirty Shirley.

Caesar

I bet y’all thought I was gonna drop the ball and not post a cocktail today, since I’ve been out celebrating Liam’s 10th birthday. What you don’t know is I prepared for this by making two cocktails yesterday. Well, if you follow our Captain Rodney’s page, and you should, you know that I made a special drink to celebrate Canada’s answer to the Bloody Mary, the savory and sassy Caesar.

Olive Oil Vodka Martini

May 1, 2020 / Monkeybrad / 1 Comment

There are gonna be things in life that you just can’t understand. No matter how hard you try they just won’t make sense to you and it’ll be hard to see how other people can be so blasé about the whole thing. I’m that way about the vodka martini. I just don’t get it. Lots of people love this drink and I’ll give you that it’s pretty, but it’s also just so…basic. When faced with one of those inexplicable things you’ve got two options, you can just accept it or you can try to make things better. So that’s what we are doing tonight, we are going to improve the martini, through chemistry. I present, Popeye’s favorite, the Olive Oil Vodka Martini.

Corsair Daiquiri

A friend asked what everyone was drinking this afternoon, so here you go, Doctor. This is a variation on the classic daiquiri. There are lots of ways to make this drink and I love most of them, even the Floridita one the requires a blender, but this is what we do most often and there is a reason this “old friend” is an all Corsair Artisan Distillery cocktail.

Moscow Mule

My wife has discovered that ginger goes well with alcohol, I was in a hurry and I own a copper mug, so the simplest of ginger cocktails it is, the Moscow Mule.

White Russian

If I had added my ingredients in the correct order, this would be way prettier.

Some days you’ve just gotta let go of things. Kick back let the world move on without you, preferably listening to some Kenny Rogers while laying on a nice rug. You know, the kind that really pulls the room together. When that time comes there is really only one drink that will do, the White Russian.
