Sweet Amaretto awesomeness, we're building a cocktail with amaretto, vodka (absolute), light rum (Don Q) with some cranberry juice and a touch of sweet/sour mix that's been freshly squeezed. Amaretto lovers may fall for this drink while everyone else will just recognize it as a mildly sweet cocktail of awesome.

For whatever reason, I found this cocktail to taste like a less potent maraschino juice. Anyone else?

We're adopting a southern recipe this week: the Texas Tea. Okay, the origins probably do not lie in the area of Texas as this is yet another "tea" style recipe that no doubt branched off of the Long Island Iced Tea. The big difference in this cocktail is the inclusion of Bourbon as a spirit. Bourbon brings its own flavor and finish to the drink making this a cocktail all its own.

You don't have to be from Texas to enjoy the potent flavors of the Texas Tea Recipe.
