[quote=Anonymous]Girly:

The Metropolitan (a sour cherry cosmo):
1.5 oz Raw cherry juice (available at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods)
2 oz Vodka
.5 oz Cointreau

Shake over ice, strain into chilled cocktail glass, garnish with maraschino cherry or orange slice.

Manly, or at least gentlemanly:

Mint Julep:
* Muddle 3 sprigs mint and 1 oz simple syrup in the bottom of a julep cup (12 oz pewter or aluminum)
* Add 2 oz Kentucky bourbon
* Fill to the top with crushed ice. Stir once, then use your palm to firmly press the ice into the cup. 
* Fill with bourbon until about 3/4 inch below the rim. This will melt some of the ice, so add more crushed ice, again firmly pressing it into the cup, until you can't fit any more in and the ice is slightly above the rim.
* Garnish with mint sprig.
* Enjoy.

This is great for hot summer days. You can barely hold the drink it's so cold, and if you've done it right, frost will form on the outside of the cup. At the beginning, you smell mint and taste cold, watery bourbon. At the end it tastes just like sweet tea.
