Next-Level Drinks for Home Dates
While a man may think the deal is sealed once he gets a nice
lady into his pad, he's really only set himself up for
failure when she realizes he's so poorly prepared for
entertaining, his wine isn't even boxed, it's bagged. To
avoid this, we had three prominent local mixologists whip up
six can't-miss cocktails (3 for her, 3 for you) for a trio
of distinct home-drinking situations, meaning you'll only
have your lack of current events knowledge and lazy eye to
blame for striking out.
The Situation: She'll only drink one with you, so make it count.
For her: Strawberry Caipiroska, from Drinkshop's Eric Simpkins
Muddle strawberries, lime, and sugar cubes in a shaker. Add
vodka, then crushed ice. Cover, shake for 10 seconds, then
pour into a cocktail glass. Good for before, during, or
after dinner, this strawberry smoothie-like libation will
help get things going, even if you're a shortcake.
For you: Classic Old Fashioned, from Simpkins
Drop a sugar cube into a cocktail glass, add bitters, then
club soda. Crush sugar to make a paste, then add ice, and
bourbon (or whiskey, cognac, or aged tequila). Stir w/ ice
for 10 secs, then use a veggie peeler to get a wide orange
peel. Twist peel over drink, then tuck into the side of the
glass. For less bite, add sugar packet and stir to bring out
molasses flavors. Simpkins says,"If she's going girly with
her drink, you'll want to go opposite with something to make
you look manly"...so you'll probably want to go mustache
shopping.

The Situation: She's willing to have two of whatever you
make, if the first one's good enough
For her: Lion's Tail, from Craft's Leo Barrera
Build in a shaker w/ crushed ice, starting with bourbon. Add
all ingreeds, then shake violently for 10 secs. Strain into
a chilled martini glass. Use a sharp knife to cut a
centimeter-wide strip from the orange (longways, from top to
bottom); twist and garnish on the rim of the glass. Says
Leo: "The LT's a forgotten classic many bars no longer
make", but its peach-orange color, berry flavor, and sizable
booze content should get you one sip closer to sweet
victory, because as everyone knows, peach-orange color has
never done anything except get dudes laid. Ever.
For you: Southside Fizz, from Simpkins
Fill shaker with ice. Bruise mint leaves by clapping them
together twice in your hands, and drop in shaker. Add lemon
juice, simple syrup, cucumber slice, and gin/vodka. Shake
well for 10 secs, then pour into a martini glass and top
with club soda. Garnish with second cucumber slice if
desired. "The Fizz is a recipe from Chicago's mob-ruled
1920s to let you show your Scarface side", which'll
hopefully impress her enough to say hello to your little friend.

The Situation: She's bout it; bring on the party drink
For her: Purple Panties, from Fuse Downtown's Keya Atkinson
Fill both a tall glass and shaker w/ ice. Build in shaker
with vodkas, Pucker, schnapps, and lemonade or sour. Shake
well, then strain into glass. Top w/ cranberry juice. "If
you can get the Panties just right, you might even find out
if hers are matching," although ideally not matching yours.
For you: Sapphire Cup, from Simpkins
Muddle mint leaf, fruits, and cucumber. Add spirits,
vermouth, lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters. Shake with
ice to chill, and strain over fresh ice into a Collins
glass. Top with sparkling water. Garnish with cucumber &
mint sprig -- that's right, so don't even bother brushing
your teeth.

matchup; click now for those ingreeds:
