Let It Rain, Let It Rain, Let it Rain, Rain, Rain

Well, it's raining like *mad*. That means no beach, no patio, no nothin' but sleepin' in with the one you love. Like the man said, you ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her...

Here's a couple of good rain cocktails. The first uses a liqueur called Hypnotiq, which Bradley Liquors carries--Hypnotiq is a mix of vodka, exotic fruit juices and a bit of cognac. It's very similar to Alize though not the same.

This one is called an Emerald Rain.

2 oz Hpnotiq® liqueur
1 oz 100 proof vodka
1/2 oz orange juice
1/4 freshly squeezed lime

'Pour all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake well. Serve in a very cold cocktail glass or over ice in any other glass. Easy to make and an instant hit!

This next is called a Purple Rain--an excellent movie to watch if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend who has ever been in a band. That movie was the straight up and down truth about competition between bands.

1 1/2 oz gin
cranberry juice
1 splash Blue Curacao liqueur
1 splash sweet and sour mix
1 splash soda water

Pour gin into an ice-filled highball glass, and fill with cranberry juice. Add blue curacao, sour mix and soda. Shake gently, add more curacao (until royal-purple), and serve.

All right? All right. I'm heading home to crank up my amplifier and rawk out on my guitar. 'Til next time, SEE YA!
