It's Friday. Name the unidentified cocktail.

[XNASA]

Hint: You might be enjoying one of these if you were staying at Raffles.

1. What is a Singapore Sling?

:D

[XNASA]

3. Correct! Singapore Sling

1 1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce Cherry Herring brandy
1/4 ounce Cointreau
1/4 ounce Benedictine
4 ounces pineapple juice
1/2 ounce lime juice
1/3 ounce grenadine
dash bitters


Shake with ice. Strain into an ice filled collins glass. Garnish with cherry and slice of pineapple.

4. Herring Brandy?

Dude . . . those extreme northern Europeans have some weird ideas about things, don't they?

[trof]

35. It's actually Cherry Heering

Cherry Heering is a Danish cherry liqueur invented in the late 1700s or the early 1800s by Peter Heering. It is dark red and has a flavor of black-cherries that is not overly sweet.

The manufacturing company, Peter F. Heering, was founded on December 1st 1818.

14. oh God I used to drink those in college my freshman year

what was I thinking!? They were, well, really SWEET. Ugh.

[trof]

23. My first guess. Raffles gave it away.

Never had one, although it's a standing joke with me.
"Hi trof, glad you could make it. What are you drinking? I've got just about everything."
"Thanks. I'll have a Singapore Sling."

NOBODY has all the makings for a Singapore Sling.

[TX-RAT]

6. That was way to quick

I detect some bartender experience here.

[MissMillie]

33. Say that 5 times fast

after having 2 or 3 of them.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Hurricane.

First drink to pop into mind.

[XNASA]

5. Here's another. (#2)

[Finbar]

10. Start Spreadin' the news... Manhattan?

[XNASA]

11. Wrong kind of glass for a Manhattan.....

But you got the booze right.

[Finbar]

12. How can it be the wrong kind of glass for a straight up manhattan?

[XNASA]

15. A Highball Glass or an Old-Fashioned Glass are usually used.....

for a Manhattan.

And isn't a Manhattan clearer? Clearer, but darker, if you get my drift.

[Finbar]

17. point taken, but if someone wants a straight up manhattan, I'm going to

make it and give it to them in a Martini Glass.

[Finbar]

18. Depends on the Blend of the bourbon, the amount of vermouth, and the

amount of bitters.
I used to have some people from Wisconsin who drank Manhattans with Olive juice.

note the cocktail glass theme...

[tigereye]

16. also used to make Manhattans for my parents

when I was still in high school/college. For parties, mainly.

[bubblesby2002]

13. Planter's Punch?

[Finbar]

19. But. if you must insist we'll call it a whiskey sour... even though they

are typically garnished with a orange flag, and served collins style on the rocks.

[supernova]

20. Bourbon Sour?

Whiskey Sour was my first guess. My dad used to like them and drink one occasionally.

[Finbar]

22. Supernova, where in NC are you?

[supernova]

26. In the woods

between Durham and Chapel Hill. :hi:

[Finbar]

28. Used to live in Durham, worked on 15-501, My sister lives in Hillsborough

[supernova]

29. Went to school in Hillsborough

Where do you live now?

I spend most of my time in CH, and Raleigh mostly.

[Finbar]

32. Now we are in Kernersville, just outside of Greensboro, I work in a bar in

Greensboro, and can almost pick up 1360 out of Chapel Hill in Greensboro. Used to work at a bar on 15-501.

[Finbar]

21. Usually..

US Whiskeys ----- Tennessee
Bourbons ----- Kentucky

Whiskey Sour = Tennessee

[GumboYaYa]

24. That's an important distinction that is often overlooked.

I was confused too Finbar. I never would serve a sour straight up unless someone spefically requested that.

[XNASA]

25. Correct.

Sorry for the poor image. I'll try and do better with the next one.

[Finbar]

27. Hey this is Fun ... and I will hit 100 in this thread.

[Hubert Flottz]

7. TASTY!

I like 'em!

[readmylips]

8. Sex on the Beach.....

love it..

[XNASA]

9. Sorry. It is not SOTB.

Hint: You can't make this drink, without including an ingredient from the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

(Referring to #2)

[XNASA]

30. Unidentified Cocktail #3.

[Finbar]

31. Some sort of Collins probably...

[Whitacre D_WI]

34. It's a Tom.

Better looking than most I've seen, though!
