~300g of Strawberries
1 hearty scoop of chocolate icecream

A splash of Chocolate Chilli Kahlúa stirred through at the end (optional, if you want a touch of spice to it after serving)

What you need:
– 1 lemon
– a piece of ginger (10g or a 1/3 ounce should be enough)
– honey
– water

How to do it:
Boil enough water to fit one cup. Squeeze the juice of one lemon. Cut up a piece of ginger into very small pieces. Add both the lemon juice and ginger to a cup. Fill up with hot water, add a teaspoonful of honey and stir.

Entry 3 by @jobot23
  • 1/2 ripe nectarine/peach/mango (your pick), sliced
  • 3/4 ounce simple syrup
  • 2 Rosemary sprigs, plus additional for garnish
  • 1 1/2 ounces Dry Gin
  • 1/2 ounce vodka
  • 3/4 ounce Campari
  • 3/4 ounce fresh juice from 1 lemon (Meyer if available)
  • Club soda or tonic water (depending on your sweetness preference)
Directions
  1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle your fruit, simple syrup, and rosemary sprig. Add gin, vodka, Campari, and lemon juice, fill shaker with ice, and shake until well chilled (about 15 seconds.) I usually let it sit for about a minute or two to get super cold - especially during these hot months.

  2. Fill a highball with ice. Fine-strain cocktail into serving glass. Top with soda/tonic and garnish with additional rosemary.



Entry 4 by @Stro_king
Smoky Sage Tequila Smash
2oz Tequila
1oz fresh lemon juice
1/2oz honey syrup
Fresh sage
Rosemary sprigs

With a match light rosemary on fire and extinguish, once smoking cover with glass.
While glass fills with smoke assemble ingredients into a mixing glass. Clap sage to release oils before adding then muddle.
Add ice to mixing glass and stir until chilled.
Flip over glass filled with smoke and add 1 large cube of ice.
Strain over smoke and ice.
Garnish with sage and enjoy.
**to make honey syrup add 1:1 honey to water ratio in pot and stir over heat until combined**

The Lovely and Simple Irish Cactus:

Ingredients
  • 2 ounces Irish Cream
  • 1 ounces of Tequila Blanco
Steps to Make It
  1. Gather the ingredients. Adjust less or more of either based on taste. I personally prefer a ratio of about 2 to 0.75 Irish cream to tequila Blanco.

  2. In an old-fashioned glass filled with ice, pour the Irish cream and tequila.

  3. Stir well.

  4. Serve and enjoy!



Entry 6 by @7a7b7a

Caipirinha

Ingredients:
- 2 limes, chopped into wedges, plus extra lime wedges to serve (optional)
- 6 tablespoons golden caster sugar
- 200ml cachaça
- Few handfuls crushed ice


Method:
1. Put the lime wedges in a large jug with the sugar, then use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to break them down. Release as much juice from the wedges as possible, and let it mix with the sugar to create a syrup – you can also do this with a large pestle and mortar. Discard the lime peel.

2. Divide the syrup and cachaça between four glasses, then top with the crushed ice. Serve garnished with lime wedges, if you like.

The Blueberry Quarantini
A variation on one of my hometown specialties—served best with some fine West Michigan lakeshore blueberries during the growing season, but delicious any time of the year. Especially when you're sitting behind your desk waiting for the clock to tick to a 3 or a 7.

Ingredients:
  • 3 units of a floral dry gin (e.g., Hendricks)
  • 0.5 unit of a white vermouth (e.g., Dolin)
  • 0.5 unit of Michigan Blueberry Liqueur from Long Road Distillers, or an equivalent
  • Three whole, fresh Michigan blueberries
  • One slice of fresh lemon peel
Directions:
  1. Stir the gin and vermouth over ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.
  2. Add the blueberry liqueur. Stir gently.
  3. Add three fresh blueberries into the glass or (preferably) on a skewer.
  4. Twist the lemon peel over the glass then garnish.
Sip and enjoy.

The Not-So-Old Fashioned

This is a take on the classic Old Fashioned and Sazerac cocktails that adds a bright citrus twist from the orange and Grand Marnier, plus some extra sweetness from the cherry. The absinthe rinse gives it some added depth in the aroma and aftertaste. I recommend using a strong, smoky whiskey, but that’s entirely up to you.

Ingredients:
2 oz of your favorite whiskey
A few dashes of absinthe
A splash of Grand Marnier
A few dashes of orange bitters
2 maraschino cherries
1 sugar cube
A slice of orange peel
1 large ice cube

Instructions:
Muddle the bitters, 1 cherry, and the sugar cube in the bottom of a chilled old fashioned glass. Pour a little bit of absinthe on the orange peel and use it to rinse the sides of the glass. Add the ice cube and pour your whiskey over top. Use a bar spoon to float the Grand Marnier. Garnish with the remaining cherry and the orange peel, and enjoy!

Lots of those sound good. Hard to choose but I think I have to go with #7. Orange anything usually is a hit. The weather is getting hot where I am so may have to try several of these over the next week or so. My basic Cape Cods are good but I need more variety.

Smoking really just adds such a nice subtle flavor that really compliments so many drinks! Thanks for the vote!

@Nexolaris is cheating, he is sending subliminal messages along with his drink. This being LPSG, if I put a cup of mud along side a penis, the cup of mud could win; or at least come in second place :cool:
If that would actually work, then I should be in the lead, which I'm not. Besides, my entry only included a link to my "serving suggestion" so I'm not to blame for my cock being shown here. :)
At least, I can say that the content of my entry was all created by me, unlike some other entries here.
