Cocktail Of The Week: The Letter "O"

 

The cocktail of the week was the Oral Intruder:

2 ounces Captain Morgan Parrot Bay coconut rum

2 ounces Midori melon liqueur

 2 ounces ginger ale

1 ounce sweet and sour mix

 1 splash lime juice

Pour the Captain Morgan's rum, Midori, ginger ale, sweet and sour mix and lime juice into a Collins glass filled with ice cubes. Stir well, and serve.

Another "O" entry was Orange Oasis:

1 1/2 ounces Gin

1/2 ounce Cherry-flavored Brandy

4 ounces Orange Juice

Ginger Ale

Shake with ice and strain into highball glass over ice cubes. Fill with ginger ale and stir.

And a huge O mistake was Olive in an Olive:

1 1/2 ounces Gold Tequila
1 1/2 ounces Rosso Vermouth
1 dash Blue Curacao liqueur
1 green olive

This drink was a doozy. I have to admit I wasn't woman enough to finish it. We all tried it and decided to rename the drink Man Overboard. With the name Olive in an Olive, I expected the cocktail to be some pond scum green, but instead it was bright blue.  The name Man Overboard was given because 1) it tasted salty briney like the sea; 2)was blue like water; and 3) could kill you once you fell in the drink.
