You can drink these! - 4 Drink Special!

Do you like to entertain guests? Do those guests like different drinks? Are you tired of vodka and cool-aid or rum and coke? No? Too bad, drink-making time.

Here are four quick and easy simple drinks, no shakers, no muddling, no fancy syrups, just pour it the ingedients in a glass, stir and serve. So in no particular order here's four stir and serve drinks.

1 - The Royal Wedding
This on is very straight forward
Ingredients:
2 oz. Crown Royal Whiskey
Royal Crown Cola

Fill an old fashioned glass with ice. Pour in whiskey and fill with R/C. Serve.







2 - Appalachian Mule
This is a variation of the Minnesota Mule, but with a few teaks.

Ingredients
2 oz (At least 100 proof) Moonshine or Unaged Whiskey
1 Bottle of Ginger Beer

Fill an old fashioned glass with ice. Add Moonshine and fill with Ginger Beer. Serve.

Note: Ginger Beer is a necessity for this drink because its sharpness helps curb the harsh taste of moonshine. 




3 - Brandy Milk Punch
This ones a classic. It's a delicious drink and is a nice surprise to anyone not expecting a milk-based drink.

Ingredients
2 oz. Brandy
5 oz. Milk
1/2 tsp sugar
Whip Cream (Optional)
Nutmeg or Cinnamon (Optional)

Fill old fashioned glass with ice. Add milk brandy and sugar. Stir. Top with dollop of whipped cream and nutmeg. Serve.


4 - Golden Lion
All of the other drinks were either classic drinks or variations on classic drinks. This one is of my own invention.

Ingredients
2 Joven (gold) or Reposado Tequila
Vanilla Cream Soda
Lime Wedge

Fill old fashioned glass with ice. Add tequila and fill with cream soda. Squeeze lime wedge and drop wedge in glass. Stir and serve.


Note: Quality matters with tequila. I prefer to get a bottle of 100% agave tequila because I know it's a better tasting drink compared to sweaty-socks bottom shelf tequila. 


Well there you have it. Simple, quick drinks that are easy to make a serve and taste great. Impress your friends, make your enemies jealous, brag to your co-workers. All of these ingredients are great to keep around and can be used for other drinks too.

As always, enjoy your drinks. Remember to serve and enjoy responsibly and drink up the good things in life.
