Holiday Cheer

I'm in the process of moving so I don't have time to add a full post, so I've decided to provide a couple of my favorite drink recipes. I was a bartender for the last 8 years. Hope you all enjoy, and don't drink and drive or you will die. Maybe that's and exaggeration but you could, and its never safe. Without further ado, here are my 2 favorite original recipes.

Drink #1
Michael Jackson

Glassware: shot glass

Alcohol: 1/2 oz jagermeister
1/2 oz sambuca

Directions: Pour Sambuca and ice into a shaker, shake for 10 seconds or so (When Sambuca is shaken it turns milky colored). strain Sambuca to the half way point of the shot glass. Float the Jagermeister. For those of you that dont know how to float liquor, its actually quite simple, however pour spouts are a necessity if you want a clean float. Take a spoon, turn it upside down and set the tip in the shot glass. Slowly pour the Jager, onto the top of the spoon. This should work for everyone. If not google it, and then google moron.

The reason it is called a Michael Jackson is because it is half black and half white. This drink is not known outside of about 3 bars that myself and a friend work at, so you cannot ask for one. However, most bartenders love to learn new shots, so take the liberty of telling them how to make it, provided they are not busy.

Drink #2
Jesus and the 3 wise men

This was a birthday shot that I created for a group on xmas about 4 years ago

Ask the bartender for a 3 wise men (Johnny Walker, Jim Beam, Jack Daniels)
Then ask the bartender for a shot of tequila (any kind)

Its almost guranteed that if you drink theses shots right after one another you will have to say "jesus that was strong". Hence the name Jesus and the 3 wise men

Have a great weekend
