While we’re not sure how much of an italian ice flavor you’ll get, a juice dark fruit cocktail with a slightly sour orange bite in the finish is a fun experience. With a presentation that looks like a charcoal color with sweet raspberries and orange, you’ll want to experience the cocktail for all its flavors and fun. For soda, utilize the SodaStream Lemon/Lime soda as we did, or top with sprite instead.
A refreshing cocktail for a hot spring day or to kick off summer. The 501 Blues has plenty of blue color from the Blue Curacao with a neat blueberry finish from the blueberry schnapps (or, in our case, Blueberry Vodka). A bit of sweet/sour mix adds a nice acidic bite while the sprite (or our sodastream lemon/lime) brings a bounce citrus carbonation.
The second day of Scotch recipes, we’re easing up a bit with something slightly sweeter and sour at the same time. This cocktail brings the flavors of coke (since it’s an ingredient) and a bunch of sweet & sour mix, so much so that you may consider cutting the ingredient in half if you want to taste a bit more of the refined goodness of the Scotch.

This is a beautifully looking cocktail which reminds us much of a margarita with a distinct citrus finish. The limón rum (Don Q in our case) hides [...]
The Aloe Vera is a play off a classic melon ball meets midori sour with a twist of crazy. The flavors play well together and it’s unique enough to be a stand-alone cocktail. We’re using Haamonii Smooth Shochu but you can substitute any citrus vodka to which you have access, or checkout Haamonii Lemon at [...]
This user-submitted recipe is known as the Freaking Green Drink, more than likely because it’s green in a freaking manner. We’re using some Blue Curacao, Spiced Rum (pulling out the private stock!) along with some bright green sweet/sour mix and the magical midori melon liqueur. From here, we’re making something that’s big on green and [...]
The Chocolate Margarita is mildly delightful little drink with the great properties of a smooth tequila meets the slight hints of chocolate essence. Top it off with a garnish from DressTheDrink.com and you’re heading to paradise in a cocktail glass. A bit of Cavalino tequila, Cointreau and Sweet/Sour mix – you’re going to want to [...]
