Receipes from yesterday

Hey kids!
Just wanted to thank Modern Drunkard for having us at the Drunkard National Convention. Special thanks to Rich and Sid Pink. We had a blast and hope you did too!
By request, we wanted to share the recipes from the presentation.

Sidecar
Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz bourbon, brandy or Cognac
  
• 3/4 oz Cointreau
• 1/4 oz lemon juice

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake lightly. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. LUPEC Member Vivienne VaVoom (aka The Vamp) recommends sugaring the rim with a citrus-flavored sugar and garnishing with a lemon twist.
*A little history to go with this drink: The Sidecar was created in Paris during WWI as a pre-dinner cocktail.

Pink
Ingredients:

• 2 oz Watermelon Pucker
• 1 oz Pomegranate Vodka
• 3oz Guava nectar
• Splash of Fresca or Sprite
• Lime

Pour Watermelon Pucker, Pomegranate Vodka and Guava nectar into a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Add splash of Fresca and a lime wedge.
*"Pink" isn't exactly a classic/endangered cocktail, but it is delicious.

Scarlett O'Hara
Ingredients:

• 2 oz Southern Comfort
• 6 oz Cranberry Juice
• 1 wedge of lime

Pour 2 oz Southern Comfort over ice in a highball glass. Fill with cranberry juice. Squeeze one wedge of lime into drink. Stir and serve.
*SoCo has been produced since 1874 and is made from a blend of whiskey, peach, apricot, orange, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon flavors. The Scarlett O'Hara was one of the earliest Southern Comfort-based cocktails to be marketed.

Brandy Alexander

• 1 1/2 oz brandy
