A “Greta Garbo” daiqiuri–essentially a regular daiquiri with a few added dashes of absinthe.
Lots of Manischewitz Blackberry wine, along with a shot of K for P slivovitz for good measure.
Homemade ginger beer with a float of Kaniche Barbados rum.
A mint julep with a half jigger of Frapin cognac at the bottom, topped up with my son in law’s new bottled in bond, Milam and Green.

Bombay white martinis, 3:1 with Dolin dry. Large Mezzetta olive. Shaken 38 times. Mmmmmm. Perfect accompaniment was black pepper Boursin on fairly plain crackers. Cold gin and spice have a natural affinity, as good as potato chips and Champagne.
Bailey’s and Irish whiskey on the rocks
Orange crush: vodka, triple sec (I used dry curaçao because I didn’t have any triple sec and I couldn’t find my Grand Marnier ) Fresh OJ and sprite, all over crushed ice in a Tervis tumbler. Very refreshing, and surprisingly potent.
Is that a tennis ball?
Haha, half a lime, supposed to represent an island and a sprig of mint to represent a palm tree but I had no mint
Gilligan’s Island.
I just go with a straw it a wee festive paper umbrella attached to it. I do love Mai Tais.
Limoncello over ice because the bottle wasn’t in the fridge/freezer . TBH I like my own homemade limoncello and Limecello a lot more. But that means I have to make some.
