Your signature cocktail.

I don't drink much, but I like Amaretto Sours. Esp. since being on Weight Watchers I watch the drinks.. but just found a sugar free sweet and sour mix that is great!

My husband drinks Tuaca on the rocks.. it's good too. There are some great recipes at www.tuaca.com

I am sure the Amaretto makes up for any sugar lost.
I am supposed to watch the drinks as well but I figured since I gave up the soft drinks that I used to drink everyday, I can have a drink or two once in a while. The dietician nearly floored me when she calculated that most soft drinks have ten teaspoons of sugar in them. Uh, no thanks. I'll blow my sugars on a real drink thanks. :cheers1:

Well, let's put it this way.. on WW you get so many points a day. I'd get about 20. A tall, normal Amaretto Sour is about 5 points, but with the sf sweet and sour it's only 2.
One of the worst drinks? Margarita! 11 points! I'd be drinking half my points away!!
But you're right, alchohol turns straight to sugar and I always retain water from it too.

Here's a list of WW points for beer, wine, and liquor. It shows calories too.

Oh geez, you are ruining my cocktail hour.
Although my Old Fashioned will likely be just slightly more than your sour.

LOL! Sorry James.. but not to worry, as for some reason the male gene seems to ward off fat and water retention. Drink up! :cheers1:

Godfather

Two cocktails that are a little different than the old standards are the Godfather and the Satin Manhattan.

Two parts scotch and one part Amaretto over ice. The Godmother is much the same except with vodka instead of scotch.

The Satin Manhattan is tasty as well. Instead of Vermoth in the Manhattan, use Vanilla Liqueur.

Favorite Cocktail

I just found a new favorite.

Blood Orange Martini
2 tbs of Torani Blood Orange, 3 tbs vodka, 2 tbs lime juice.

Lancealot,

Try that with fresh squeezed Blood Orange juice, a premium vodka like Stoli 'O', and fresh squeezed lime juice.

You may be surprised how much better a cocktail is with fresh squeezed juices. And...you can do this at home.

Or, forget the juices, chill a martini glass, shake 2 1/2 oz premium vodka until frost forms on the shaker, strain into the martini glass, place 3 jumbo bleu cheese-stuffed olives on a toothpick , drop into the vodka, sit back and enjoy. mmm....

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Shirley Temple. Really. I'm not kidding.

 

[sweetfrancaise]

Harvey Wallbanger (vodka, Galliano and orange juice). Or maybe vodka tonic with lime. Or a white Russian, or kir... Not that I drink often, mind you!

 

[Nashoba]

ginger ale with a splash of grenadine and a twist of lime.

I don't drink alcohol

 

[Diamondback]

Gimlet or Collins for me. Anything heavy on the sour-stuff and easy on the booze will do for my 3-4 a year, though...

EDIT: Ms. Nash, are you going for the record on horror-movie cliches today or something?

 

[Mr. Lucky]

I don't drink alcohol

Nor do I, hence the Shirley Temple. It seems that I am allergic to spirits - when I drink, I break out...in handcuffs.

lol. Why my dear man, I have no idea what you mean
I have had very little sleep lately. That may account for some of it.

PLEASE Mr. Lucky that is a GIRLS drink

THAT got my wife wondering what the heck I was reading:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

as for me I rarely drink, and when I do, I know I won't be driving. So at the QM I might just have a beer.. Love Mai Tais and Margaritas BUT I can still remember the hang over and that was 15 years ago[huh]

You know, DT, if you'd had just the Margarita(s) or just the Mai Tai(s), that hangover may not have been so debilitating. [bad]

All this talk about cocktails is making me thirsty.
There is an existing thread with signature drinks if anyone would like to add to it.

I am off to swill some booze..

 

[Smithy]

I probably posted this before over in the signature cocktail thread but why not..

The Bentley Cocktail - lethal

The Pimms Turbo - gin and tonic on steroids.

The Pink Gin - forgotten classic

and The Royal Bombay Yacht Club East India Cocktail - the name's a bit of a mouthful but the taste is quite a mouthful.
