Every month, Super Tuesday serves the Bad Cocktail of the Month, an experiment with a cutting edge cocktail that no one has ever heard of.   Well, ok, sometimes we serve an old favorite too.  Here is the list so far:

Aug 2006: Wet Spot: 1 1/2 ounces Plymouth gin, 1/2 ounce apricot brandy, 1 ounce apple juice, 1/2 ounce elderflower syrup, 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice, 1 lemon twist, for garnish. Fill a cocktail shaker two-thirds full of ice and add all of the ingredients. Shake for approximately 15 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass; add the garnish. (Turns out we couldn't find elderflower syrup.  After some thought, we decided to use pomegranate syrup instead. So instead of yellow Wet Spots, we had red Wet Spots.  Nasty.)

Sep 2006: Key Lime Pie: 1 shot Stoli Vanil, 1 shot Rosie's Lime Juice, 1 shot Half & Half.  Key: You MUST use Rosie's Lime juice.  If you insist on using regular lime juice, you better have some simple syrup on hand, or be prepared to boil some up in a jiffy.

Oct 2006: Blue Devil: 1 oz Gi, Juice of 1/2 Lemon, 1 tblsp Maraschino liqueur, 1/2 tsp Blue Curacao. These were really cool, had a kind of opalesent sheen to them. 

Nov 2006: Peppermint twist: 1 oz. Peppermint Schnapps, 1 oz. Kahlua®, 1 oz. Brown Creme de Cacao. Fill a shaker half full with ice cubes. Pour all ingredients into shaker and shake well. Strain drink into a Cocktail glass and serve. (Tastes like a high octane Junior Mint.)

Dec 2006: Poinsettia:1-1/2 oz. Absolut Vodka,  1/4 oz. Chambord,  1/4 oz. Pineapple Juice. Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass.

Jan 2007: White Russian.  1.5 shots vodka, .5 Kahlua, .75 Heavy Cream, .75 milk. Serve in old fashioned.  Still cold out, need the high octane stuff.

Feb 2007: Chocolate Martin: 2 shots vodka, 1 shot white Creme de Cacao, 1 shot Extra Dry Vermouth.  It's Mixalot's birthday, we are indulging her.

Mar 2007: Limelight: 2oz vodka,  1oz Midori Melon Liquer,  1 splash grapefruit juice.  Green for spring, or St Paddy's.  Your choice.  [Update] Ok, we made this thing, and was an extremely attractive color to the lighter side of chartreuse.  However, "splash" of grapefruit juice is a little too parsimonious for most.  We decided 2-1-1 made a much tastier cocktail.
