c-cktails in Baja??


I would be interested to know what Nomads like to drink (c-cktails) in Baja. We are not talking about shrimp here, or beer.

I, personally, would start off with a nice Bombay Safire Gin Martini! Three small onion stuffed olives please served in an ice cold frosty martini glass!

Thank you very much!

Bob H

Bob, you are bound to get a zillion posts on this one. At the house I like a Bloody Mary: Vodka, Clamato, one lime, tablespoon salsa fresca right from the bowl, pickled asparagus spear on the rocks.

If I'm out on the town a Painkiller if I can find an experienced mixologist:
Pusser's Rum, OJ, Pineapple Juice, Sweetened coconut cream, crushed ice, blended but not too much.

Caña. Vision ceases after four ounces and when you slide off the back side of the barstool, gashing and mashing your face in the landing, caña can be used to sterilize your wounds.
Other than that....Pacifico.

c-cktails!!!


For me c-cktail "hour' starts with...

1 shot of damiana, 1 shot of vodka, a lime wedge , and club soda over ice.

A couple of those and I move on to 12 year old Flor de Caña rum on the rocks....repeat until fully drunk.

Oh...i love Tequila also. But I find that Tequila is an all or nothing deal for me. If I start with it I've got to finish with it. And i'm a guy with no problem switching spirits in the course of a night. Tequila is powerful stuff. :cool:

Y'all have probably come across the cans of New Mix, which is tequila, with fruit flavorings and carbonated. Several different offerings. Has about the same alcohol content as beer, but is flavorful. Years ago I recall they actually had new mix light, which, like diet sodas, was artificially sweetened. Cut down not only on the sugar, but the calories. I even had a promotional tee shirt for New Mix Light. Haven't seen the Light version in several years.

I am a Mojito gal.
I have a lovely container full of fresh mint from which I take three or four sprigs and put them in the bottom of a tall glass. To this I add one small teaspoon of sugar and smash them well with an iced tea spoon then add a shot or two of Havana Club anejo(I know that you are supposed to use white rum but I dont like it!)and ice cubes. I like Topo Chico agua mineral but any club soda will do. I pour that in to within an inch of the top of the tall glass and stir with same iced tea spoon. It will have some sort of chemical reaction and fill to the top of the glass and then recede. I top it with some more Topo and voila.
I dont use lime nor limon but some people do.
Jeez am I ever thirsty.
Viva el mojito:dudette:

I have never had one but the recipe has me drooling. Gonna run down and pick up some "Crème de Cacao" right now.

Thanks for including the accent too. It makes it even sound better...

all these kahlua and cream drinks are really yummy, but pretty heavy for "long term drinking".

Good for a couple, but then it gets too sweet. Something a little more refreshing for the long haul.
