What did you have in mind? Margaritias, Mudslides, Brandy Alexanders, White Russians, Blue Hawains?
You can do a web search for drink recipes. I know Absult(SP?) Vodka has a website with drink recipes. I hope this helps.

Here is a few that you can use the measure mix and pour to show.

put a little crushed ice in there, and mix garnish with a little wedge of lime!

Choc. Martini

All the martini recipes can be made in quick stir pitcher for larger crowds, just make sure you use the same ratios.

Margaritas

Would like recipe...pamperedalf, would you know the recipe for an Amaretto Sour? I am a sucker for those, even though I may only have about 1 a year. Thanks!

Also, I sold an US&G at a show a while ago because the host asked if I had something to slice a lime for a Cosmo. and I happened to throw the US&G in at the last minute. The guest was so impressed by how well it sliced the lime that she bought one! I almost always bring mine along now...just in case!

Try the PC Sparkling Sangria. Go to Consultants Corner and look up the recipe on line. I've made it a few times, it's great. It can also be an option for those who don't drink alcohol. (Although I usually make it with regular wine and not the recommended non-alcoholic wine.)

The ulitmate lice and grate is perfect for making fruit wheels. Generally when I put lime in cosmos it is a squeeze or a small lime wedge. The fruit wheels look great as a garnish on the glass. I use the ultimate slice N grate at every show no matter what. It is one of my highest sellers!!!

If you are making a pitcher in the quick stir pitcher simply substitute Amaretto for Madori. All sours are made the same just with different liquers. If making it for yourself 1 1/2 shots of amaretto a slpash of OJ, and about a 1/2 cup 2/3 cup of sweet and sour mix depending on how strong you like your sour. Now you can make whisky sours as well using your favorite whiskey ( I personally like southern comfort because it is already sweeter)
