Drinks Meme Roundup
Putting these all in one place so I can (hopefully) find them later. Also editing some of the ones I made up while drunk tipsy, we’re going with tipsy. (I am so sorry Fiona, your drink looked awful in the cold light of day.)
Under a cut because this got long.
The Athena (Gladiator Remix)
1 oz Chambord 1 oz Gin 1 oz Vodka dash of club soda (to taste)

The Timothy Lawrence

Shake light rum, Grand Marnier, and pineapple juice with ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Float ½ oz Hibiscus Liqueur on top.
The Fiona (aka the Washington Apple)
2 oz Whiskey (prefer blended; medium-tier, don’t bother with the expensive stuff) 1 oz Apple Pucker 2 oz Cranberry Juice
Shake ingredients with ice, pour into lowball glass over ice. If drink is too strong or mark is resisting, add simple syrup until desired sweetness/sugar coma is achieved.
Bonus: The Purple Skag

Pour over ice, stir, and serve in stainless steel to avoid corrosion.

The Gortys
2 oz Cranberry Vodka (clear; red is ok in a pinch but it ruins the visual effect) 1 oz Triple Sec 1 oz White Cranberry Juice Splash Lime Juice
Shake ingredients over ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a singe cranberry.
The Yvette (aka the French 75)
2 oz Champagne 1 oz Gin (the more expensive the better) Lemon Juice (to taste) Simple Syrup (to taste)
