Grandmaster Smash

Glass: Rocks or Old-fashioned
Garnish: None
Method: Muddle the mint leaves with the sugar and the lime wedges in the base of the glass. Add the Grand Marnier and fill the glass with crushed ice. Mix well with a barspoon, and float the Absinthe.
Ingredients:
4 lime wedges
2 barspoons brown sugar
8 mint leaves
50ml Grand Marnier
10ml La Fee Parisian Absinthe
Notes: The recipe just popped into my head while doing some more mundane work-related stuff. Seemed too good not to put down somewhere.

The Grand Tour

Glass: Martini
Garnish: Mint leaf
Method: Stir all ingredients except the prosecco with ice, and strain into a chilled martini glass. Top with prosecco.
Ingredients:
10ml Bombay Sapphire gin
40ml Tuaca
2ml Campari
3 mint leaves
20ml of prosecco
Notes: too much prosecco will kill this drink, likewise too much Campari. If you have no prosecco, champagne will do, I suppose.
Credits: created by myself for a Tuaca competition, May 2007.
