- Horny Bull
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Horny Bull
Well, we can't exactly suggest that there is medical proof that tequila, orange juice, lemonade, and grenadine works as an aphrodisiac, but for all we know, perhaps this frozen blend has a Viagra-like effect on bovine drinkers. In all seriousness, this drink is very refreshing and is the perfect cool down drink!

Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Rhode Island Ice Coffee
If this is the way Rhode Islander's start their day then BW crew is ready to take a sabbatical there! This is an awesome cold coffee drink that makes for a satisfying desert drink.

- Red Russian
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Red Russian
We were a little skeptical at first to try this drink.. I mean really, how many colors do Russians have to be before you stumble across a mix that vodka should play no part in? Well, maybe that will happen on a pink russian or possibly a green one, but the Red Russian is very tasty and makes for a great suggested alternative to the standard fare of "Russian" (meaning vodka) drinks!

- Hot Buttered Cider
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Hot Buttered Cider
As the seasons change so do the drink requests. This hot drink is a classic that if prepared correctly will not only earn your customer's praise but will likely result in more orders. The delicious aroma this drink puts out triggers a powerful response in the area of the brain widely believed to control impulse purchases, Vegas weddings, and the occasional road trip. This region of the brain, whose Latin name we are too lazy to look up, can be easily influenced by decadence, promises of decadence, or even postcards of decadence.
This drink takes a little extra effort but sells itself quickly on a cold evening!

- Nutcracker
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Nutcracker
We're not sure about love at first sight, but we are certain about love at first taste. Rather than provide you a typical review I thought I would just include a partial transcript as one of our female samplers apparently fell in love, if not all out lust, with an inanimate cocktail. Here, then, are her transcribed comments as she sampled.
"Oh.... My... Gosh....."
"mmmmmmmm......."
"So you like it?" I ask. She ignores me, no longer even aware of my presence. She appears to be trying to communicate with the cocktail on some primal level as she is, and I am not making this up, making some kind of purring noise as she samples. I reiterate my question, nudging her to get her attention, her response is to continue to ignore me and order another.
That good? Yeah, it is. But be warned, once you sample this awesome blend you may never go back to Black Russians again!

- Frozen Black Irish
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Frozen Black Irish
We love the word "ambrosia", we really do, and we sling it around amongst a ton of adjectives to describe various drink recipes. Problem is, we don't really know what it means but we know we like the way it sounds. After sampling this drink we have created a definition of the word so that we, along with other word challenged folks, can use it with confidence.
Ambrosia: "A delicious concoction that combines caffeine, desert, and liquor in a single glass."
While we don't expect immediate compliance from Webster's we can assure you that a Frozen Black Irish is very much like our description. Smooth and sweet, this makes an ideal after dinner drink!

Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Navy Grog
Lethal. Explosive. Dangerous. These are all adjectives that could be used to describe this volatile mix. Don't get us wrong, we love the stuff, at least we think we do as far as we can remember of the evening we last sampled this concoction. This drink falls squarely into the "I dare you" category and is popular wherever rum liquidation sales, college fraternities, and over the counter hangover remedies can be found.

Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Iceberg
While we typically wouldn't voluntarily consume a drink that so closely resembles Aqua Velva, we're glad that we made the exception on this one. This drink is surprisingly good and is a great conversation starter for your customers who will be asked by friends and strangers alike, "What the hell IS that??"

- Apple Martini
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Apple Martini
Ever the health conscious group we pretend to be, our staff wholeheartedly concurs that this drink is the prudent way to make sure your customer follows the "apple a day.." adage. , Surprisingly, our calls to the FDA to have this drink added to the food pyramid have gone unreturned. Perhaps they need to loosen up over there and have a few Apple Martini's, we're certain they would agree with us that this drink rocks!

- Absolute Stress
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Absolute Stress
Well, given the scientific approach that our staff takes towards drink research, it is no wonder we drank so many of these. After all, scientific proof must involve repeatable methods, double blinds, and a number of other catch phrases that we interpret as a reason, if not encouragement from the scientific community, to drink more of these. After carefully examining the experiment notes (hastily written on a cocktail napkins) we can conclusively say that this drink neither causes or permanently relieves, stress. Multiple repeated orders will buy you a few stress free hours, at least until the bill comes.
This drink can be pricey, so you might want to let your customers know that up front. It is sweet, delicious, and goes down dangerously easy. We highly recommend this "nectar of the gods" drink.

- Mint Julep
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Mint Julep
A sure winner for the "most heard of drink you've never tried", the Mint Julep is surprisingly good. It is the only drink known to simultaneously cause good breath and a southern drawl.

Bartending-World.com BIASED review: A Piece of Ass
Perhaps a bit sweet for our taste, then again, we'll drink anything. The name of this ice-breaker cocktail pretty much says it all.

- Alabama Riot
Bartending-World.com BIASED review: Alabama Riot
Now THIS is what we're talking about! A virtual buffet of tasty high octane spirits! Be warned however, your customers will love you as you serve them but will hate you in the morning if you serve too many. The sugar content in both the Southern and the Schnapps combined with the mixer can leave you with a hang over to write home about.
