Warlock Punch

Posted on October 29, 2012 | 1 Comment

Warlock Punch is loosely based upon the Bermuda Triangle drink. It contains tropical feel in the taste with full bodied lushness due to the crème de banana inclusion. Use the recipe for individual drinks or multiply to pitcher size for a fun party punch.

Bitter End

Posted on October 28, 2012 | Leave a comment

Light pineapple with ever so slight dryness. Excellent as a single on the rocks drink or doubles as a party punch. Versatile drink works well for summer due to the fruit inclusion as well as fall to winter due to the light, yet dry spice Campari brings to the drink. Suitable for celebrations.

Curse of the Screaming Druid

Posted on October 27, 2012 | Leave a comment

Tequila has garnered a bad reputation through the years. It is downed in ritualistic fashion with the traditional “lick, sip, suck” method or with mass produced frozen margaritas pulled from slurpie machines. People remember little of their taste experience with tequila, but tend to hang on to the memory of the horrendous hangover. Skip the ill effects of overindulging and enjoy the lighter, tastier side of tequila.

Curse of the Screaming Druid – created by Cheri Loughlin

1 measure Reposado Tequila

1/2 measure Lime Juice

1/4 measure Lemon Juice

1-1/2 measure Orange Juice

1/4 measure Grenadine

Place fresh ice in rocks glass. Add Tequila Reposado and juices. Stir. Float grenadine.

Nice tart, refreshing drink that goes long on taste, short on overindulgence. Curse of the Screaming Druid would also be lovely with salted rim margarita style.

Lower Calorie Cocktail: Use Light Orange Juice to make this approximately 100.125 calories based upon 1 measure = 1 ounce.
