Just a quick note, some of our Cocktail Hour fans have asked about the shaker we use. It's a glass shaker, with steel cap, and a silicone gasket that keeps the lid from getting stuck.
Now, back to this week's drink...
Here's another drink I came up with while playing with the chemistry set known as my bar...

Cranberry and lime are two of the most versatile mixers you can have in your bar. Just a bit below lime, I'd throw in lemon. This week's cocktail goes with the lemon to provide a delicious, refreshing, powerful, low calorie drink. Our Hot Pink Lemonade tastes like a hard lemonade...harder than Mike's...and only packs around 130 calories.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz. - tequila
1/2 oz. - amaretto
3 oz. - cranberry cocktail
3 oz. - diet sparkling lemonade
Fill a highball or pint glass half full of ice. Pour in all ingredients and stir.
Cheers!

Summer's at it's hottest so we need some drinks to take the edge off of the heat.

Here's my version of this out back, sit-by-some-grilling meat, refreshing crowd pleaser. At only 150 calories, it also fits in with our goal of drinks that won't go straight to your gut...but still are full-service cocktails!
INGREDIENTS (one drink)
1.5 oz. bourbon (whisky or scotch can also be used)
Juice of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lime
1 oz. simple syrup (2 tbls. of sugar can be substituted)
1-2 oz. water (optional if needed to fill the glass)
To do it right, you should have a majon jar. If not, use a cocktail shaker. Fill your jar or shaker about half full of ice. Put all ingredients in and shake...put just enough water in to make sure you have a full glass. Strain into a tumbler completely filled with ice. Garnish with a wedge of lemon, lime, or orange.
Cheers!
