Cocktail Hotel

A creatively themed cocktail column loosely based from my fourth book titled "The Hotel of Naughty Cocktails", a 10-Floor, 195-Room, 1000-page labyrinth of drink. This blog (as of 2006) is to celebrate the start of my 25th year as a Professional and Private Bartender here in Los Angeles - the City of Angels, and Devils too ....

Room 885 - Liquid Lingerie


No Navel Shots here, but definetly some Long-legged Drinks

Everyone can add their own words of enticement with each of these seductive gems,for you’ll never be so happy when one of these slip between your lips.

Between the Sheets is a shake and strain drink that goes in a chilled cocktail glass, getting ¾ oz each of the following: Beefeater gin, Bacardi white rum, Cointreau, and lemon juice. Strain in and garnish with a twist of lemon peel.

A stir and strain drink, the Crystal Slipper Cocktail also goes in a chilled cocktail glass. Starting off with 1½ oz Bombay Sapphire gin, ½ oz Bols blue curacao, and 2 dashes of
Fee Brothers orange bitters. No garn necessary

A drink similar to another cocktail except for the measurements, Silky Red Panties is a shot chilled and strained with ¾ oz vodka, ½ oz Dekuyper Peachtree schnapps, and ¼ oz of cranberry juice. Make enough for a few shots while you’re at it !

Add a splash of Grand Marnier to the ice in the shaker, then rinse through and strain out. Then add 2oz Tanqueray Sterling vodka and chill and strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of orange peel. There you have it – L’Orangerie

This next tall drink goes in a long-legged martini glass. In a shaker add 2oz Van Gogh Dutch chocolate vodka with ¾ oz Chambord black raspberry liqueur and ¾ oz Godiva white chocolate liqueur. Shake till cold, then strain into the glass. Garnish with 2 chocolate legs. Yummy. There’s nothing quite like a
Black Stockings Martini.

The Nightie Lifter goes in a rocks glass filled with cubed or cracked ice, and is a shake and strain over ice drink. Add 1½ oz Maker’s Mark bourbon, ¾ oz Hiram Walker blackberry
brandy, and 1 teaspoon of Arrow peach schnapps. Garnish with a cherry.

A Summery bathing suit type of drink, or what was left of it anyway. Skinny Dippin’goes in a tumbler glass filled with cracked ice and gets poured in 1½ oz Belvedere vodka, ½ oz Amaretto DiSaronno, ½ oz Bols peach schnapps, and a splash of Ocean Spray cranberry juice. Garnish with a slice of fresh peach.

A shake and strain cocktail, My Dirty Girlfriend always ends up in chilled martini glass. Begin with pouring 1½ oz Ketel One Citroen vodka, ¾ oz Tuaca, a pinch of sugar, the juice of ½ a squeezed lemon, and a splash of cranberry juice. Strain in and drip a stream of Midori to the bottom of the glass. Strain in and, well, she is the garnish . . .

Stir and strain this next drink in a cocktail glass. In a shaker of ice, pour ¾ oz each of the following: Ouzo, Marie Brizard Parfait Amour liqueur, and the ever herbal Green Chartreuse. Open your mind to the Blue Negligee, and allow this palate conundrum to tease the senses.

Pour the Strawberry Stripper in a short collins glass filled with cracked ice. Start with 1½ oz strawberry schnapps of your choice, close to fill with cold orange juice, and top with a dash of cold cream. Garnish with a slice of fresh strawberry.

A little old fashioned, but I like that style. This could be a late night drink or a mid-morning waker-upper. The Velvet Dress is a shake and pour-over-ice drink going in an old fashioned glass filled with cubed or cracked. Start with ¾ oz Korbel brandy, 1oz Kahlua, ¾ oz Dekuyper triple sec, and end with 2oz of cream. Good Night . . . . . or Good Morning !
