The Drunken Milkmaid

Day 70

The Drunken Milkmaid

4.5 shots out of 5

First off, I would like to say Happy 70th Day of Cocktails!  Thank You to all of those who have been with me from Day 1 and also to those of you who have found me along the way!  I am having a really fun time making and trying all of these cocktails, as I hope you are having fun reading about them and maybe even trying some of them along with me.  I must say that so far the cocktail recipes that I have received from all of you have been really good ones!  I haven't had a bad recipe from a reader yet!  I love trying the cocktails you all love to drink at home.

I gave tonight's cocktail 4.5 shots out of 5.  I received this recipe from Kera, Thank You Kera!!  The Drunken Milkmaid is a good cocktail that is perfectly mixed (in my opinion of course) by all of its ingredients.  If you notice, the glass has been "designed" a bit different tonight from when I designed the glass for Brown Lady.  Reason being........my husband wanted to design tonight's glass.......but.........I think he used a "bit" too much chocolate?  Anyways, it tastes very yummy with the amount he used and I know it would taste yummy with even less chocolate syrup.  I must say....as I am typing this blog and looking at the chocolate that has now collected more toward the bottom of my glass....I just realized that I was supposed to put whipped cream on top of it!  I even have it out on the counter.  I'm sorry Kera, I wish I would have remembered about it.....instead of being too excited to drink it.

Here is the recipe for The Drunken Milkmaid:

• 1/2 shot kahlua
• 1/2 shot creme de cacao
• 1/2 shot butterscotch schnapps
• 1/2 shot amaretto
• 1/2 shot milk
• chocolate syrup
• whipped cream (which I totally forgot)

In a shaker add ice, kahlua, creme de cacao, butterscotch schnapps, amaretto and milk.  Shake it up really well so that all of the ingredients get blended well.  Strain it into a martini glass that has been "designed" with chocolate syrup.  Top with whipped cream (still mad that I forgot that) and enjoy!

A big Thank You to Kera for this lovely cocktail!  I have to say that I was always skeptical about chocolate syrup in your cocktail until I tried the Brown Lady and The Drunken Milkmaid.  Not anymore though!  It's a wonderful touch, I must say!

Cheers!!

Root Beer Float Cocktail

Day 54

Root Beer Float

5 shots out of 5

This totally tastes like a root beer float!  I really really like this one!  A friend of mine used to make something like this, but I don't think she used the flavor of vodka I used or measured it the way I did.  I guess that means that I'm going to have to make this cocktail for her next time she comes over, right?

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  This tastes just like it's name.  Thanks to Sandi (once again!  She's got some good cocktail recipes) she gave me the recipe for this one and the idea of a little bit of whipped cream swirled in it, for that extra yum flavor!  It tasted good before I swirled in the whipped cream, but I have to say that the whipped cream added to its yummyness and I definitely recommend using it!

Here is the recipe for a Root Beer Float:

• 1 shot whipped cream vodka
• 2 shots root beer
• whipped cream

In a shaker add ice, vodka & root beer.  Shake it up well and strain it into a tall skinny glass, or a martini glass.  Add a good squirt of whipped cream on top and give it a quick stir.  Sip and enjoy!!

Cheers to you Sandi and Root Beer Floats!  You were right, this cocktail is good!!
