I thought I'd do my "signature" drink, I guess you'd call it. Though I don't drink it all the time, it is the one thing that I consistently drink....others just come and go. Maybe I'll get into those another week ;) So introducing:
Southern Comfort Old Fashioned Sweet
Add drops of bitters to bottom of glass and stir in sugar. Once bitters and sugar are combined, add ice and pour in SoCo. Top off with 7-up/Sprite and add a splash of grenadine. Serve with cherries.
It's more common where I'm from to be a Brandy Old Fashioned, but I prefer the taste of Southern Comfort.

I have to feature my all-time favorite drink in my first Thirsty Thursday post.
The martini is traditionally made with gin and a splash of vermouth. Add a splash of olive "juice," and a couple of olives, stuffed or plain, and you have the Dirty Martini.
I could go into the history, the variations in qualities of gin, the benefits and drawbacks to various amounts of vermouth, the great controversy over shaking vs. stirring...
But really, it's simple: Follow the above instructions...drink...ENJOY.

This drink sounds interesting...
Enchantress
- 1 Part Amaretto
- 1 Part Creme de Cacao
- 1 Part Triple Sec
- 1 Splash Grenadine
- Fill With Milk
Blending Instructions:
- Combine alcoholic ingredients in glass over ice
- Fill to top with milk, add splash of grenadine

I love amareto....I'm not entirely sure about the milk, but I may have to try this next time I'm at the bar ;)
