Thirsty Thursday Appletini

Ingredients

2 ounces of Absolute Vodka

1 ounce of Green Apple Schnapps

Pour the vodka and the schnapps into cocktail shaker filled with ice.  Shake it well, and then strain it into a cocktail glass.  If you are making two cocktails double it up.

Garnish with a slice of green apple, and drink it slowly.

There are a variety of recipes for Appletini's.  I am suggesting Absolute because it is the vodka that I prefer, however you can use whatever vodka you like.  This recipe has a sweet taste, however, If you prefer a Sour Appletini, by all means, use Sour Apple Pucker instead.

Cheers!!!!

I Wish You Love,

Thirsty Thursday Classic Manhattan

A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters.  Commonly used whiskeys include Rye (the traditional choice), Bourbon, Blended Whiskey, and Tennessee Whiskey.  The cocktail is often stirred with ice and strained into a cocktail glass, where it is garnished with a Maraschino Cherry with a stem.  A Manhattan is also frequently served on the rocks in an Old Fashioned glass (low ball glass).

You will need:

3/4 ounce of Sweet Vermouth
2 1/2 ounces of Whiskey of your choice
1 dash of Angostura Bitters
1 Maraschino Cherry
1 twist orange peel

Combine the vermouth,  whiskey, and bitters with 3-4 ice cubes in a mixing glass. Stir gently, don't bruise the spirits and cloud the drink. Place the cherry in a cocktail glass and strain the whiskey mixture over the cherry. Rub the cut edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to release the oils but don't drop it in.

"Tequila Mojitos" From Southern Living.Com

I found this recipe here at Southern Living.Com and it looked soooo good, and refreshing. Of course if you want an original "Mojito" just use white rum instead of white tequila!!!!!
