  • Alabama Slammer — Amaretto, Southern Comfort and sloe gin stirred over ice with a splash of lemon: sweet, fruity and nutty, a college-bar favorite.
  • 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.
  • Fernandito — Fernet-Branca and cola over ice. Bitter, minty and easier to drink than it sounds.
