Make your own moonshine.
Distill it on the back porch and catch it in Mason jars.

Remove jar and pour two fingers of that cold likker into a clear glass.
Drink it down all at once.
Enjoy the fire in the belly, the tingle in the toes and the feeling of your hair standing on end.

Cool Galoot
Vodka
ice
iced tea

I find this tastes better if you let the tea steep in whiskey,
at the bottom of the teapot while waiting for the water to boil.
Persnickety: Ordinary Galoot
I don't use measurements.
I just splash some in and adjust if my throat catches on fire.

Combine all ingredients in a stainless steel, penguin shaped cocktail shaker - this is very important. Shake vigorously, making a cha-cha noise [WIKKA wikk wikka wikka, WIKKA wikka wikka wikka] until the stainless steel penguin gets too dang cold to hold, or you get tired of shaking it (normally about 30 seconds) Strain into a martini glass. The liquid should almost fill an average martini glass to the brim, so be careful when you hand it to the intended victim.

Cool Colorado Conservative Martini
Build the Ultimate Martini (Vodka or Gin) /w Lemon Twist
Rub fresh, crushed Mint around the glass, place in bottom of glass
Pour Martini into glass and enjoy!
Darren: Colorado Conservative
I'd have voted for the Cool Colorado Conservative Martini, but I didn't because martini's are served with olives (though I confess twists are acceptable...barely...and the lemon probably goes well with the mint 'round the glass). I take my martinis seriously, which you'll discover if you take a look at my comments in my "Which Drink Are You?" post at my blog.
Posted by: Victor on October 27, 2003 01:03 PMIf you're still taking recipes, I've got one. (Great list of drinks, btw, gonna have to try them out. )

Posted by: elgato on October 28, 2003 10:07 AMHere's the VodkaPundit Martini:
Place one bottle, any size, of Absolut Citron in the freezer.
Put a large martini glass in there with it.
Two hours later, remove the vodka and the glass. Pour vodka into glass.
Drink.
Repeat until opining.
Posted by: Stephen Green on October 28, 2003 10:31 AMStephen, ever hear Churchill's martini recipe? His version was pour gin into glass, glance at the vermouth, then drink.

Shotgun one can.
Repeat until your roommate finds you on the bathroom floor the next morning covered in vomit.

PBR Pundit, Jordan.
Posted by: Jordan on October 29, 2003 01:51 PMGaloot's Grog is actually known as a Morgan Fairchild. Tastes just like cream soda, yum yum.
