| Recipe needed...because I need a DRINK! Posted: 2/19/2008 11:18:13 AM | | I'm having a party on saturday and want to serve dreamsicle mimosas. I know part of the ingredients are orange juice, sugar and cream, but I can't remember the exact portions. The mixture is then frozen. Can anyone help me? | |

| Recipe needed...because I need a DRINK! Posted: 2/19/2008 11:26:31 AM | This is a recipe I found for it: 4 oz champagne 4 oz orange juice Generous splash vanilla syrup (such as Torani) Generous splash half-and-half
I would think you could subsitue a teaspoon of sugar for the syrup since it's a concentrated sweetner. | |

I went to a party last night and they served Purple Haze Martinis. 1 oz pom. juice 1 1/2 oz Hypnotique (sic) 1 1/2 oz pineapple juice Put all in a shaker. Serve in a martini glass with a wedge of lime They were Yummy! | |

This is from my bartending-school book:
CREAMSICLE/DREAMSICLE
1 part vodka 1 part triple sec 2 parts OJ 2 parts cream
Shake with ice and strain into a stemmed cocktail glass.
(If you put it all in a blender with the ice, you would have a frozen drink without actually freezing it.)
I don't know about the mimosa part, though--normally a mimosa is OJ and champagne, although another book says to put a couple splashes of Grand Marnier in it.
Mimosas . . . brings back memories. It was a tradition in my neighborhood for all of the mothers to get together for a mimosa party the first day the kids went back to school in the fall . . . .  | |

| Recipe needed...because I need a DRINK! Posted: 2/20/2008 8:06:35 PM | ...It's funny..a couple years ago..I wanted an orange soda when I was in a bar with a bartender friend. He said..awwww..ya can't drink that straight..and told the bartender to add a shot of Vanilla Stoli to it. And I have to tell you..it took me on a little adventure..because that was a really good drink...Since then...I've added about a half shot of Triple Sec to it...and I think it's the perfect drink for a summer evening when it's too hot to drink a beer...
...My recipe... 12 oz. of orange soda, 1 shot of Vanilla Stoli, and half a shot of Triple Sec over ice in a large glass.... | |
