Lady Finger: 1 oz (30 mL) gin, 1 oz (30 mL) kirschwasser, ½ oz (15 mL) cherry brandy, 1 oz (30 mL) lemon juice, ½ tsp (2.5 mL) superfine sugar.; Shake all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

Latin Manhattan: 2 measures (60 mL) each of white rum, sweet vermouth and dry vermouth.; Add a splash of maraschino cherry juice and shake in a cocktail shaker and serve “up” (with no ice) in a Martini glass with a twist of lemon peel. When making this drink, avoid the temptation to use more rum. It makes the drink quite bitter. The balance of the three alcohols is the key.

Lemon Drop: 1½ oz (45 mL) citrus vodka, ¾ oz (20 mL) Cointreau, 1 tsp (5 mL) superfine sugar, ¾ oz (20 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon wheel for garnish.; Pour contents into a ice filled mixing glass and shake vigorously. Strain into a sugar rimmed cocktail glass garnished with a lemon wheel. Serve.
Liquid Cocaine

1 part Jägermeister, 1 part Goldschläger.; Should be shot as soon as its poured as the 2 liquors take a couple of seconds to mix.
Long Island Iced Tea

½ oz (15 mL) vodka, ½ oz (15 mL) gin, ½ oz (15 mL) tequila, ½ oz (15 mL) triple sec, ½ oz (15 mL) rum, 1½ oz (45 mL) sweet and sour, splash of Coke.

Stir. Garnish with lemon twist. Build ingredients over a Collins glass with ice. Some bartenders give the drink a short shake, but this is optional.

Some choose to mix it without tequila. Some have nicknamed a Long Island with tequila a “Texas Iced Tea”.

Jack Daniels, orange liqueur, sour mix, and any lemon-lime soda to fill. It is typically served on the rocks in a Collins glass, and garnished with a lemon or cherry.
