Room 225 - Temple of the Dog

If you want a cocktail “Doggy Style”, this room’s for you

There’s no doubt the cast of the movie must have come up with this shot while on set. Reservoir Dog is a chill and strain drink straight up in a snifter glass. The two liquid
persuaders are 1¼ oz of Jagermeister and 1¼ oz Bailey’s Irish cream. No garnish.

This next one gets licked out of a bucket glass filled with cracked ice. The Scooby Snack gets ¾ oz Malbu rum, ¾ oz Midori melon liqueur, 1oz pineapple juice, and a dash of cream. We can all put our paws around this one! Pour over ice or shake if you’d like.

In a classic cocktail glass, chilled preferably,
Dressed Up like a Dog’s Dinner is a stir
and strain drink, with 1½ oz E & J brandy, 1oz Applejack, and 1oz Gallo sweet vermouth. Lookin’ good, and about to taste good as well.

This next drink can be made in a tumbler over ice or shaken straight up in a chilled champagne flute. The recipe for the
Great Dane is 1 ¼ oz Crown Royal whiskey and a
split-fill of orange and cranberry juices.

Umpteen years ago I was bar managing and bartending a busy lunch and dinner restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, and
Homer’s Dog Dish was on the drink menu. This blended concoction goes in a poco grande glass, or an actual dog dish if you want to go all the way. 1oz Partida tequila, 1oz Myer’s rum, ½ oz Bols blackberry brandy, ½ oz 99 Bananas liqueur,
1oz of Triple L sweet & sour, and 3 fresh strawberries. Garnish – Dogs don’t need a garnish !

An old fashioned drink in an old fashioned glass filled with crushed ice, this shake and strain drink gets 1 ½ oz Paul Masson brandy, 1 teaspoon Kummel, ½ oz Ocean Spray cranberry juice, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Garnish the Foxhound with a slice of lemon.

As a martini or on-the-rocks, the Rusty Fire Hydrant gets 1 ½ oz Dewar’s scotch, ¾ oz Drambuie, and a dash of Tosti dry vermouth. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel. This drink doesn’t mean to go out and do the same thing that dogs do, unless you’re out on a walk late at night.

Things to do in Denver when you’re dog tired ? Go out to a bar and order a Colorado Bulldog. In a collins glass with cubed or cracked ice, this is a build-over-ice drink which starts with 1¼ oz Blue Ice vodka, ¾ oz Kahlua, partial fill with cold cream, and top with a splash of Pepsi or Coke, and garnish with a cherry.

Dog’s love root beer, don’t they ! Just as good as a Dog Biscuit. This liquid munchie is a build-over-crushed ice drink in an old fashioned glass getting ½ oz each of the folowing: Dekuyper’s cinnamon schnapps and root beer schnapps, and Carolan’s irish cream. Then splash some 7-Up or Sprite over the top.

A short blended drink that gets poured in a sour glass, the
Pink Poodle starts with Boodles gin,
