My dear departed brother-in-law was a great bartender at family functions, especially in the summer.
His specialties...
Banshee Shake-vodka, banana liquer, creme de cacao, vanilla ice cream, very ripe banana, ice, mix in a blender,serve with fresh grated nutmeg.
Galliano Sherbet( so simple)...orange sherbet, fresh sqeezed o.j.,galliano,ice...mix in a blender..serve with fresh grated orange zest.
Fresh made Lemonade-with fresh berry Slushie...blend with ice for the kiddies...for the adults add vodka.
I must admit his best drink was a vodka martini. He just did it right. Right ratio. So simple, but so very nice.
