Great Cocktails

I've started drinking Brave Bulls lately. Fans of Black Russians may recognize a similarity:

2 oz. silver tequila
1 oz. Kahlua

Pour the tequila into a rocks glass over ice, add the kahlua and stir.

It is sublime.

I think this is a great thread to ask this question. how many weeks of st8 drinking until a person can develop a drinking problem?

[MrWookie]

There's no real answer to that question. You have a drinking problem when drinking becomes a problem, not after N weeks.

In the past I smoked alot of cigarettes which I believe became a physical addiction after about 10 days. So I'm heading to san jose costa rica again this week. They have the finest beer known to man, called Imperial. I would like to drink this beer every day for the three weeks that i'm there. That's why i was asking.

Let me correct myself. This is a wonderfully flavored drink for people that enjoy the above ingredients. For those of you that don't like them, this drink is really offensive, but hilarious to serve a person that thinks it's a Black Russian.

I had a number of decent cocktails over Thanksgiving including some Black Velvets, but one that you non-whiskey lovers might use to ease into the good stuff was a New Yorker:

2 oz. Whiskey
1 oz. Lemon or Lime Juice (taste dependent)
1 tsp. Sugar Syrup
1/2 tsp. Grenadine

Shake over ice, strain into a cocktail/martini glass and garnish with a lemon or lime.

Add some green creme de menthe and it's a Spanish Moss. This used to be the shot of choice among the staff at a bar where I used to work - if you were buying it for someone else.

It's better than it sounds, just make sure the bartender has a light hand with the creme de menthe, otherwise it will suck.

Also, it's fun to buy it for someone and watch them try to guess the ingredients.
