DRINK OF THE WEEK

DRINK OF THE WEEK ( from Chef T. Ball )
SEX ON THE BEACH
By Trey Stevens - Saturday Drink
SEX ON THE BEACH
INGREDIENTS
• ¾ oz Vodka
• • ¾ oz Peach Schnapps
• • Orange Juice
• • Cranberry Juice
• • 1 dash Grenadine
INSTRUCTION
Pour all the alcohol over ice and then fill up with equal amounts of orange and cranberry juice. Add a dash of grenadine syrup and decorate with lemon slice.
WHEN DO YOU DRINK IT?
There are few other drinks out there that have such innuendo, especially if you offer this one to a girl while vacationing in a tropical locale.


The Perfect Dirty Martini (a Tanner top four)
What could be classier than this drink for the perfectly classy woman -- or, at least, the one who wants to look like her?

Ingredients:
2 oz Belvedere Vodka
½ oz olive juice
¼ oz dry vermouth
2 green olives

Directions:
Start by filling a martini glass full of ice and cold water. To a shaker full of ice add the vodka and olive juice. Shake until the outside of the shaker becomes “frosty.” Strain the ice and water out of the glass and add the vermouth. Swirl the vermouth around the inside of the glass just to coat it, and then dump out the excess. Add the vodka olive juice mix and two olives to the martini glass. Tanner's take on this one: “I like blue-cheese-stuffed olives for the best garnish, but maybe that’s just me and every women I’ve served -- voila.”
The Perfect Cosmo
Cosmos seem to fit into a lady’s hand like a baseball glove does a man’s. This girlie drink recipes is a perfectly simple concoction that she will feel comfortable walking around a bar or party with all night. And talk about simple to make:

Ingredients:
2 oz Belvedere Vodka
1 oz cranberry juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 oz Triple Sec

Directions:
Add all the ingredients to a shaker full of ice. Shake about 20 times, and then strain into a chilled martini glass. That's it, that's all.
The Mandi
This recipe came from my brother, Ryan, who works for Budweiser and spends a lot of time in bars. Whenever he meets a girl who doesn’t want to drink beer, but is not in the mood for liquor, he buys her one of these girlie drinks. It's an American twist on the British Pixie Stick.

Ingredients:
½ pint glass Michelob Ultra
½ pint glass Sprite

Directions:
Pour both ingredients into a pint glass and give a quick stir with a long bar spoon. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve.

Chocolate Cake (a Tanner top four)
Be careful, men, because this one is so surprisingly tasty that it may become a closet favorite of yours too -- and that is not something you want to admit, ever. Try it once in private, and then try to tell us we’re lying.

Ingredients:
¾ oz Frangelico
¾ oz Stoli Vanilla Vodka
Granulated sugar
Lemon wedge

Directions:
Pour the Frangelico and vodka into a shaker full of ice. Shake well and strain into a shot glass rimmed with sugar. Serve with the lemon wedge garnishing the side of the glass. Tanner suggests that you “lick, shoot and then bite. It tastes surprisingly like chocolate cake!”
Tuaca Lemon Drop (a Tanner top four)
You know you’ve overheard a beautiful girl ordering one of these shots late at night. Ever wondered how to make it? Here’s the recipe, and by all means put on the full show. Be prepared, after you make the first, everyone at the party will quickly be ordering one.

Ingredients:
1½ oz ice chilled Tuaca
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Grand Marnier
1 lemon wedge

Directions:
Drench both sides of the lemon in sugar and set on a small plate. Heat the Grand Marnier in a tablespoon over a lighter for about 10 seconds then pour over the lemon. Immediately light the lemon on fire. When the fire burns out, pour the Tuaca and serve. “Shoot then suck!” reminds Tanner.
Sex with an Alligator (a Tanner top four)
There’s something the ladies love about a layered shot. The reason for the layers is the density of each different ingredient. Like mixing oil and water, they will naturally separate. If you slowly pour each layer, you won't need to wait for separation. If this shot doesn't turn out the first time around, try again but pour slowly and carefully. And you can enjoy the ugly one in private.

Ingredients:
1 oz Stoli Vodka
1 oz sweet and sour mix
½ oz Jagermeister
½ oz Chambord

Directions:
Shake the vodka and sweet and sour mix with ice for about 20 seconds. Strain into a shot glass. Slowly pour the Jager and Chambord over the back of your bar spoon. Be sure to press the tip of the spoon against the inside of the glass. If distinctive layers don't form immediately, allow the drink to sit for a minute or two and they should separate beautifully.

IMPRESS THE GIRLIES
There you have it. Head off into the world as a new and confident man ready to tackle the arena of girlie drinks. Use this information to prepare the perfect drink that will win her over and, better yet, impress her friends. Thanks again to Craig Tanner and the beautiful girls at 3rd Base Sports Bar in Frisco, Texas, for their help with these recipes.

Drink up,
