Mory's cups' recipes

As part of a low-falutin' Yale tradition, I drank from a few Mory's cups this past February.



I found some of the drinks very tasty, and so it is that I got my mitts on the recipes.

Tasty drinks

I'm up in Toronto for corporate training this week. We went to a place called The Riv for drinks and, while we did end up having to teach the bartenders a couple, I learned how to make some drinks that I hereby consider ultra-tasty.

(For the record, I tend to have a girly-drink palate but all the drinks below were guy initiated, tested, & approved.)

The Kamikaze
This one's an old standby. First time I had this was at a feel-good happy hour at Good World for the .com I worked for in the 00s. I recently bought a couple of rounds for my basketball team after we won our summer division.

• Vodka
• Rose's lime juice
• Cointreau

The Washington Apple

• Cranberry juice
• Apple pucker
• Crown royal

Red-headed slut

• Jagermeister
• Cranberry juice
• Peach schnapps

Sicilian kiss
This one's not a shot but rather a mixed drink.

• Fill glass 1/2 to 2/3 with ice
  
• One (1) shot amaretto
• One (1) shot southern comfort
• Top off with ginger ale
• Garnish with lime

Heavy drinking: bad for your liver; good for morale!
