The Virtual Bar

Thanks to the virtual bar and a coffee table book of a hundred classic cocktails, I have assembled a short list of drinks that I have not had recently, often, or at all and that I would like to try. In no particular order, the list so far is as follows:

• Long Beach Ice Tea: Vodka, Rum, Triple Sec, Gin, Melon Liqueur, Cranberry Juice


• Long Island Iced Tea: Tequila, Vodka, Gin, Cola, Lemon, Rum


• Moscow Mule: Vodka, Lime Juice, Ginger Beer


• Vodka Stinger: Creme de Menthe, Vodka


• Manhattan: Whiskey, Vermouth, Cherry

• Sazerac: Sugar Syrup, Bitters, Bitters, Whiskey, Absinthe, Lemon


• Sazerac #2: Bourbon, Pernod, Angostura Bitters, Peychaud bitters, Lemon peel, Sugar Syrup

P.S. - The Virtual Bar also has a cool feature where you can tell the site what you have stocked in your bar and the site will return a list of recipes for drinks that you can make with those ingredients. Cool, huh. I know I'll use it at my next cocktail party.

P.P.S. - The Webtender is a similar site that I haven't yet investigates too throughly, but seems to have lots of info as well.
