Please note: This is a conceptual recipe for flavor exploration only and should be approached with extreme caution. The amount of Everclear used should be minuscule due to its high proof. Do not attempt to replicate this with standard cocktail measurements of Everclear. Conceptual Ingredients (for a single, highly diluted serving): - 2 oz Casamigos Tequila (Blanco or Reposado, depending on your preference for a brighter or more aged flavor) - ¼ oz (or less - literally a few drops) Everclear (for a very subtle, potent kick - use extreme caution) - ¾ oz Fresh Lime Juice - ½ oz Agave Nectar (adjust to your sweetness preference) - 2-3 Dashes Chipotle Bitters (for smokiness and depth) - Optional: Smoked salt for rimming the glass Conceptual Instructions: 1. Chill your glass: If desired, rim a chilled coupe or rocks glass with smoked salt. 2. Combine ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the Casamigos tequila, extremely small amount of Everclear, lime juice, agave nectar, and chipotle bitters. 3. Add ice and shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake very well until thoroughly chilled. 4. Strain: Double strain the mixture into your prepared glass. 5. Garnish: No garnish needed, or perhaps a thin lime wheel. Tasting Notes (Conceptual): This drink concept aims for a balance of the smooth, high-quality tequila with a smoky undertone from the chipotle bitters and a very subtle, almost imperceptible lift from the highly diluted Everclear. The lime and agave provide a classic sour-sweet balance. ALL DRINKS CAN BE FOUND IN MY BOOK AT : https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/cocktail-alchemy-dystany-zapata/1148030678?ean=9798319659071

The Sleeper (Party Punch) This is a high-octane, fruit-punch-flavored party concoction designed for maximum "sleeper" effect. It's sweet, vibrant, and incredibly potent, perfect for a gathering where you want to ensure everyone's having a good time. Yields: Approximately 80-90 oz (about 2.5 - 2.8 Liters), enough for 8-10 servings Prep time: 5 minutes Ingredients: - 2 x Daily's Frozen Cocktails (e.g., Strawberry Daiquiri, Margarita – whatever flavors you prefer for a fruit punch profile) - 2 x 16oz Red Slushies (e.g., cherry, strawberry, or generic red fruit punch flavored) - 2 x BuzzBalls Piña Colada - 2 x BuzzBalls Red (e.g., Peach, Strawberry, or Cherry) - 2 x Smirnoff Ice Strawberry Kiwi (11.2 oz bottles/cans) - 1 x Four Loko Fruit Punch (23.5 oz can) - 1 x MD 20/20 Red Grape (750ml bottle) - 1 x BeatBox Beverages Fruit Punch (500ml pouch/box) Equipment: - Large punch bowl (preferably 3-4 liter capacity) - Large stirring spoon or ladle - Ice (optional, but recommended if not serving immediately) - Serving cups Instructions: 1. Prepare the frozen components: If your Daily's Frozen Cocktails are not yet slushy, ensure they are adequately frozen and then break them up slightly in their pouches. 2. Start with the slushies and frozen cocktails: Pour the two 16oz red slushies into the punch bowl. Add the contents of the two Daily's Frozen Cocktail pouches. Stir well to combine these initial slushy bases. 3. Add the BuzzBalls and Smirnoff: Open all four BuzzBalls (Piña Colada and Red) and pour them into the bowl. Add both bottles/cans of Smirnoff Ice Strawberry Kiwi. Stir again. 4. Incorporate the high-volume beverages: Carefully pour in the entire can of Four Loko Fruit Punch, the entire bottle of MD 20/20 Red Grape, and the full BeatBox Fruit Punch pouch. 5. Stir thoroughly: Use your large spoon or ladle to stir the entire mixture vigorously for at least 1-2 minutes. You want to ensure all the different liquids, slushy bits, and flavors are well combined into a homogenous "punch." 6. Serve: The Sleeper is best served immediately while still very cold and slushy. Ladle into individual serving cups.
