Alabama Slammer — Amaretto, Southern Comfort and sloe gin stirred over ice with a splash of lemon: sweet, fruity and nutty, a college-bar favorite.
Bay Breeze — Vodka with cranberry and pineapple juice: a Sea Breeze with pineapple in place of grapefruit.
Bloody Mary — Vodka, tomato and lemon, seasoned to taste with Worcestershire, Tabasco, celery salt and pepper. Savory and spicy.
Blue Lagoon — Vodka, blue curaçao and lime topped with lemon-lime soda: electric blue, sweet-tart and fizzy.
Cuba Libre — Rum and cola with lime, which is the difference between this and a plain rum and Coke.
Dark ’n’ Stormy — Ginger beer with dark rum floated on top. Spicy, sweet and moody.
