APOCALYPSE NOW

Serve In A Shot Glass

The Apocalypse Now is not at all a shot for the faint of heart or people with sensitive taste buds. The mixture of Irish cream and tequila is definitely not a normal combination, and when you add dry vermouth to that it gets really interesting. If you are looking for a quick, potent novelty shot, this would be one to try. You can also make a drinking game out of this if you're watching the movie by the same name: something like a round of shots at every mention of the infamous Colonel Kurtz. You could get really drunk off that game, so brush up on your hangover cures and don't drive.

• 1/3 oz dry vermouth
• 1/3 oz Irish cream liqueur
• 1/3 oz tequila

Pour the dry vermouth and tequila into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well. Strain into a shot glass. Float the Irish cream liqueur on top.

THE ADJUSTABLE RATE

Serve In A Highball Glass

One of the biggest headlines in the last half of 2007 was certainly the housing mortgage crisis and to "commemorate" it bartender Derek O’Neill Butler of Prime One Twelve Restaurant in Miami, Florida created this tropical cocktail. At first it may not seem like much more than the average fruit highball in which the juices are the dominant flavor. But after a few, well-stirred sips the blackberry rum and tequila become noticeable and shine as a nice compliment to the tropic juices.

• 1 part Hornitos Blanco Tequila
• 1 part Cruzan Blackberry Rum
• 1/2 part DeKuyper Tropical Pineapple Coconut Liqueur
• 5 parts fresh pineapple juice
• splash of orange juice
• pineapple for garnish

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Garnish with a pineapple.
