This is shit I scribbled down at school today, all completely untested:The Arizona Quince 1 oz Quince liqueur1 1/2 oz gin1/2 oz grapefruit juice1/4 oz lemon juiceFucking brilliant name. Maybe sub Mezcal for gin? It is Arizona after all, and smoke and apples work pretty well together.Ever see Moonstruck? That film needs a cocktail created for it....Mezcal is a good call. I'm a London boy so I just automatically go for gin with citrus. I'll have a go with Mezcal.Gotta watch Moonstruck.

The owners where I work wanted another rye cocktail, and a "winter" one, on the menu, so I subbed rye for Cognac and date for fig. Since the drinks are related I called it The Frenz Experiment, plus I do my best to name as many cocktails I can after The Fall. It's selling pretty good. *Date simple: 2 cups sugar, 3 cups water, 25 medjool dates. Bring to simmer, mash the dates with a potato masher, let cool and refrigerate overnight, heat up again and fine strain.Justin Foley wrote:Mott and Mulberry1 part rye (or bourbon in a pinch)1 part Amaro (worth getting a bottle, it's good stuff)3/4 part apple cider (fresh)1/4 part lemon juice1/4 part real maple syrupSounds good. Which amaro?

I had a pins cup made with sake the other day. Really good.

Christmas cocktail ideas?

This is rather imprecise but trust me, it's hard to fuck it up. Adjust amounts to your taste:--3 or 4 ice cubes--3 oz or so of your favorite pétillant naturel wine--2 oz or so Mauro Vergano Americano (if you're not familiar w/this wondrous before-dinner drink, please do some research)--a splash of soda water, sparkling water, or mineral water--a little orange zestPlace ice in a highball or white wine glass, about 1/4 full. Pour in the pét nat. Pour in the Vergano Americano. Add the soda water. Stir gently. Garnish w/orange zest. Light, relatively low in alcohol. Sour, sweet, bitter heaven.

Not sure if this qualifies as a coctail, but my sister's favorite drink is really good.Muddled raspberries, cava(she usually uses Segura Viudas Brut, about $9 for a bottle), and a large splash of St. Germain. One ice cube.

I had a white miso vodka martini at a sushi restaurant a few years ago.It was a special that they seem not to have repeated. Google yields 0 recipe suggestions. There may have also been some sake in it.I'd love to recreate this if/when I start drinking again.

Jameson and Pancakes ... a shot of Jameson, topped with a little bit of Butterscotch Schnapps, and chased with a tiny bit of orange juice... leaves a taste of a pancake breakfast in your mouth, and super smooth... however, that's a shot technically' not a cocktail, so I am sincerely disappointed if I disappoint you

In addition, I've personally never had it but it looks beautiful, and it's known as either a café posse or posse café... 7 different liquors, each with a different density and color, causing them to float on top of one another
