Ms Zimmy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Drinks for hot weather. I somehow landed a job at a Caribbean restaurant and Bar as bartender. I have never worked in a bar or even the service industry...it's a new restaurant and I am making up the bar menu, does anyone have any suggestions or secret recipes they want to share? I will have a few different margaritas, daiquiris and mojitos, along with sangria and the usual rum, vodka and tequila with the mixes, but I am looking for something special....so come on boozies, help me out. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 How about some kind of iced coffee concoction? Take something like a Tim Horton's iced cappucino (espresso+ice+cream/milk, blended), but with booze, through not necessarily coffee liqueur, maybe a chocolate liqueur, or a banana liqueur, or straight rum, or whatever flavour booze the drinker wants.Aloha,Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorgnor Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I like deli cinq and Malibu rum, not sure if it's a named drink yet though. I hereby dub this drink the "nut-driver" as derived from the screwdriver, altered from the traditional recipe by the addition of coconut rum.

SaggyBalls Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 One part Rum (dark, spiced, or white (if that's all you have)One part Southern ComfortShaken with ice, Served with lime and soda water or ginger aleI like them in tall glasses as it's thirst quenching (and the rum makes the drink sweet) but for a double cocktail, try it with ginger beer.It's called the Dixie Pirate and it's great in the summer...or in the carribean.I like a rye and ginger with a splash/half oz of amaretto.I couldn't find a name for it anywhere when i was looking, so I dubbed it a 'volleyball'And a suprising great bevvy for the purpose drinkers is a dognose.Drop (or pour) a shot of gin into a pint of beer.chug (or sip).Very nice with a shot of lime cordial.Those are 3 strange drinks with more than one shot each.If you try them all and like any of them enough to have another, it'll be a nice afternoon for you that day.
