  1. My personal favourite cocktail is a Yellow Submarine; 2 shots of vodka, 1 shot of white rum, 1 shot of banana liquer, shake with orange and pineapple juice and serve over ice.

    Or, a Sophia Loren; 1 teaspoon vermouth, 2 shots of gin, 1 shot of Campari, 2 teaspoon Cointreau. Swirl the vermouth around in a tall, thin glass to coat it, then toss out any extra. Shake everything else with ice, then pour over ice into the glass.

    I love any drink with coffee and alcohol!

  7. All right, you said post as many recipes as I want, so I'm just going to put in my current favorites! The first two don't require a shaker, so I'm not sure they count.

    1. Gimlet (a la Hammett): equal parts gin and Rose's Lime Juice. I toss an ice cube in to provide a brief respite from the gimlet-ness, but you may roll deeper than I do.

    2. Paloma, aka my new favorite warm-weather drink. Pour a couple of fingers of tequila into a highball glass, fill with grapefruit soda.

    3. Dirty martini, and I mean *suuuper* dirty. Add 2 parts gin to 1 part vermouth, 1 part olive brine. Shake until arctic. My father makes these in quarter-liter measures, which probably explains a lot about me.

    4. Scottish Breakfast! Totally over the top, totally, dangerously delicious. Put 1.5 oz scotch, .5 oz applejack (if you can't get any, Calvados is the best substitute), 1 oz cream or milk, .5 oz maple syrup, dash of simple syrup into a shaker, shake like hell. Serve on the rocks with cinnamon and oats dusted over the top.
