This awesome cocktail was found on CocktailDB.

Warsaw

45 ml vodka
15 ml blackberry liqueur
15 ml dry vermouth
8 ml fresh lemon juice
Shake. Serve in a cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist.

Admirable! Warsaw Cocktail has so sweet berry-taste [from my childhood].

Russian Quaalude Cocktail has very interesting name (as for me as graduated pharmacist) and unintelligible recipe. The Quaalude – second part of “Sex, drug, rock ‘n’ roll!!!” is unique culture forming medcines. Some interesting facts about this pharmaceutical phenomenon you can read here.

I use recipe of Russian Quaalude Cocktail from Dale DeGroff.

Russian Quaalude

20 ml vodka
20 ml Kahlua
20 ml amaretto liqueur
30 ml cream
Shake and strain into a rocks glass.

Nothing special, Russian Quaalude Cocktail has sweet and creamy taste – on the line with Screaming Orgasm and Mudslide :) But on closer view Russian Quaalude (Dale DeGroff recipe) is near relation of famous White Russian (with Italian necktie) :)

I am inspired by Darcy O`Neil post about Monkey Gland. The scan of newspaper article, detailing the drink, in this post inspired me to tasting Monkey Gland with raspberry syrup.

Actually few days ago I buy two Routin syrups – Lime and Grenadine. The Routin Grenadine is no so common grenadine. It is “Mixed berries” grenadine :) This syrup use … fruit juices (lemon, blackcurrant, strawberry, elderberry, raspberry, redcurrant)… How marvellous a coincidence!

Monkey Gland

45 ml gin
45 ml fresh orange juice
1 bsp. Pernod
1 bsp. berry syrup
Shake with ice, strain and serve.

Monkey Gland cocktail with raspberry syrup has rich habitual taste with some berry notes. It is very interesting drink.

Monkey Gland cocktail with Routin Mixed berries Grenadine is astonishing, amizing cocktail. It has very unusual taste. Heavenly fair cocktail!

Last week many of imbabers-blogers participated in real Zombiennale (New Zombie Recipes – TDN). I decided to support this theme. This great recipe of Zombie cocktails was found on Cocktail.Idea [site with very pretty design, but mediocre cocktails recipe]. But idea Zombie cocktail with Stroh (overproof specied rum from Austria) seems very interesting. I tasted Stroh rum in my Mai Tai some times ago and obtained a lot of pleasure.

Zombie (Stroh Edition)

60 ml white rum
30 ml gold rum
30 ml Stroh 60
1 dash Angostura
30 ml orange juice
30 ml lemon juice
30 ml pineapple juice
20 ml simple syrup
Shake with a lot of crushed ice and pour in hurricane glass. Garnish with any apropriate garnish (something poisonouos, I hope…).

This Zombie Cocktail has very strong and no so sweet taste. It is magnificent drink! This cocktail is great with song named Zombie by Fela Kuti.

As you know mandarine (tangerine) is one of my favorite citrus fruits. Tangerine (juice) is so rare ingredient for mixology. This interesting cocktail was found on Dale`s DeGroff site:

Tangerine Margarita

60 ml tequila (Sauza Conmemorativo)
30 ml Cointreau
15 ml fresh lime juice
15 ml fresh tangerine juice
Shake. Serve on the rocks with salt rim.

It is amazing coctail, first of all, because it is Margarita :) Great Margarita on the rocks with some piquant note of fresh tangerines. Great cocktail, but in my mind was born some fantasies:

Mandarine Margarita

60 ml tequila
30 ml Mandarine Napoleon liqueur
15 ml fresh lime juice
15 ml fresh tangerine juice
Shake. Strain over ice into old-fashioned glass with salt rim. Garnish with lime wheel.

Admirable! This cocktail has rich sunny color and interesting taste, because it is Margarita too :)

Actually I have some problems with recipe normal cocktail with my new liqueur DeKuyper Blueberry… But result is great!

Blueberry Martini

50 ml vodka
25 ml blueberry liqueur (white)
1 dash blue curacao
2 drops of grenadine
Shake well and strain into frozen cocktail glass.

I use BOLS Blue and Lemon-X grenadine for color like blueberry. This cocktail has strong, sweet berry taste. Admirable!

This cocktail is my special offer for all lovers on this Valentay`s Day. This recipe of Carribean Cosmopolitan Cocktail from The Joy of Mixology, Gary Regan.

15 ml fresh lime juice
8 ml pineapple juice

Admirable cocktail for Valentain`s Day has exotic taste and great look!

This interesting cocktail has interesting story and two versions – english and american. You can read very interesting article by Gary Regan here. I try cocktail Monkey Gland some times ago and use Anisette liqueur instead Pernod and it was very interesting. Now I decide to explore this cocktail with Pernod, Ricard and Benedictine.

I use follow recipe of Monkey Gland Cocktail:

Monkey Gland

45 ml gin
45 ml fresh orange juice
1 tsp. grenadine
1 tsp. Pernod (or Ricard, or Benedictine)
Shake. Old-fashioned glass.

Monkey Gland Cocktail with Pernod has bright and very interesting taste. It is my choice. I use hot process homemade grenadine for great color and real taste.

Monkey Gland Cocktail with Ricard has so sweet taste. It steel good :) Some great bartenders make this cocktail with Ricard.

Monkey Gland Cocktail with Benedictine is different cocktail. It has very interesting herbal flavor and taste.

The modern version of Monkey Gland Cocktail is strongest and serve in cocktail glass.

Monkey Gland

45 ml gin
45 ml fresh orange juice
1 tsp. grenadine
1 tsp. Benedictine (or Pernod)
Shake. Cocktail glass.

This Monkey Gland Cocktail is real short drink. It is very interesting version, but my choice is old-style Monkey Gland Cocktail. Actually is great cocktail.

I don`t know why I decided to mix with strange cocktail… New bottle of Galliano liqueur or my own cold-processing grenadine… God know`s!

The Moon Dust Cocktail has very strange composition – rum, vanilla, almond and pomegranate :) It is crazy drink!

Moon Dust

30 ml white rum
20 ml Galliano
15 ml fresh lemon juice
7 ml orgeat
7 ml grenadine
Shake. Cocktail glass. Garnish with green maraschino cherry.

Very sweet exotic cocktail. Amazing, but I don`t think that I will prepare this cocktail once again…
