Incider Cocktail

Ingredients: 1.5 oz blended whiskey, apple cider, ice.

Pour whiskey over ice in old fashioned glass. Add cider. Stir.

Shannon says it is the perfect Fall cocktail. It's apple cider with just a little kick. Chris still prefers his whiskey on the rocks.

The Mint Highball

2 oz. creme de menthe

Club soda

Pour into highball glass over ice cubes and fill with ginger ale or club soda. 

We both agreed that this drink is ... refreshing. I tend to think it's a little more mouthwash than I generally prefer to ingest. 

Chinese Cocktail - Yes, Really

1 T grenadine

1.5 oz. Jamaica rum

1 dash bitters

1 t maraschino

1 t triple sec

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. 

There is a lot going on here. "It's interesting," Crooney said. "I don't hate it."  I suppose I don't hate it either, but I don't love it. I should note for posterity that we used Captain's Tattoo. Which probably accounts for the terrifying blood color. 

Me. Boston offered no explanation as to why this drink might be Chinese.
