Friskt Normansson (Grapefruit and Blackcurrant)
Named after the Norwegian poet Ekir Normansson, who was the first to mix the said cocktail and who had quite a few in his time. "Friskt" is a Swedish word and can mean cool, chilly or healthy.
2 oz vodka
1 oz grapefruit juice
1/2 oz creme de cassis [blackcurrant flavor!]

Shake with ice and strain in a chilled old-fashioned glass.

Blue Incan (Cranberry-Orange w/ Mint)

2 oz Blue Curacao liqueur
2 oz cranberry juice
mint leaves
club soda

Place some mint leaves in the bottom of a highball glass. Bruise them with a muddle. Add ice and pour in the blue curacao and cranberry juice. Top off with club soda as

desired, stir and serve.

A Kissed Buttery Nipple

2 oz Bailey's Irish Cream, iced
2 oz best quality butterscotch schnapps, iced
2 GLAZED cherries, pre-soaked in Jack Daniels Black Label Whiskey for a week or longer

Don't shake it - put the schnapps in the glass, then, gently, a layer of Irish Cream.
Top with a small dab of heavy whipped cream (not that ersatz canned stuff).
Drop in the Glazed, whiskey-soaked nipples - erm, I mean cherries - last, right through the whipped cream. They'll sink to the bottom, carrying the different flavors with them.

For the best effect, use a large brandy snifter for your glass.

The whiskey-soaked cherries are good for lots of things. I keep a supply of a pint or so always available in my home bar. They get better as they age - just keep adding glazed cherries and Jack Daniels.

PomTea Spritzer
1 part Vodka
A splash of Raspberry liqueur
2 parts Pomegranate Juice
1 part Sparkling water
1 part Iced Tea
A splash of honey

This entire recipe is basically mix to taste. In a pitcher combine one bottle of Pomegranate Juice (we used the blueberry one, for extra antioxidants yay!) with a generous amount of decent vodka, a quick splash of Chambord, about a cup of Iced Tea, and sweeten with a good squeeze of honey. Stir until the honey is dissolved and dump in the seltzer water, enough to be fizzy but not watered down. Enjoy the irony of drinking healthy pomegranate juice while punishing your liver
