On the cusp of Memorial Day Weekend I thought I would post a couple of refreshing Cocktails to get you started with your weekend festivities. I just finished this one as I type; The Gin Swizzle In a Collins Glass add Ice 2 oz. Gin 1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice 1/2 oz. Simple Syrup 2 - 3 dashes Angostura Bitters Club Soda Swizzle with a bar spoon between palms Garnish with a lime wedge Interestingly enough you can substitute Rum, Vodka, Tequila etc. The Bitter Dark and Stormy In a rocks glass add 2 oz. Dark Rum 5 Dashes Orange Bitters Top with Ginger Beer or Ginger Ale Garnish with a Lime Wedge Have a great Holiday Weekend Cheers The Professor

This one is so good I am adding to the book Cheers The Professor

Found this in a book and thought it was worth sharing The Great American Cocktail Perhaps it's made of Whiskey and perhaps it's mad of gin, perhaps there's orange bitters and an orange within, perhaps it's called Martini and perhaps it's called again, the name that spread Manhattan's fame among sons of men; perhaps you like it garnished with what thinking men avoid, the little blushing cherry that is made of celluloid, but be these matters as they may, a cheer confrere you are if you admire the cocktail passed along the bar.

Thought this look great with Cinco de Mayo looming Cheers The Professor
