Sliced lemon in the background, just so, as if it's always like that on the Onstad bar. Cocktail Recipes is excellent but he can't outweigh the token citrus.

that shot looks heck of tight.

I'm at work thinking how nice it would be to taste that

After this went online, I sent Onstad a recipe for my dessert shot, blue caracao over irish cream, its only two layers but the dude never got back to me on it. Hell of tasty orange-cream.

Notice Cocktail Recipies lurking behind the glass. I do love that little guy!

Agreed.

Imagining this comment in Data's voice grants it a whole new facet of wonderful.

Has anyone ever convinced a bartender to make this?

That looks like an awesome party trick.

damn, that is beautiful.

I had a hard time finding this mix, so I have put it here for the betterment of humanity.

Ingredients (chilled)

Kahlua/Bailey%u2019s/etc (1 part)
Tequila Rose (bottled tequila/strawberry liqueur) (1 part)
Heavy Cream (1 part)
Coconut Rum (1/4 part)
1. Pour your coffee/chocolate liqueur into the bottom of a small glass.

2. Take a regular spoon and turn it upside down. Place the upside-down tip of it against the inside wall of the glass, very close to the brown liqueur which now rests in the glass. Pour the Tequila Rose very, very slowly down the back of the body of the spoon. You should see it spreading evenly across the top of the brown liqueur layer.

3. Repeat step (2) but with the cream, making it flow across the top of the pink liquid. The liquids should not commingle.

4. You now have three distinctly colored layers, and it is time to add the final flavor: coconut. Using the same spoon trick, pour the rum delicately into the concoction (since the rum is so thin, I used a bartender's bottle nozzle to slow its flow). It will slip neatly between the pink and white layers without disturbing them. Note: The coconut rum must be added at this step, and not any other.

Enjoy! You can also mix these proportions in a blender with ice to produce a Neapolitan Cooler (increase coconut rum to 1 part).

Also, Cocktail Recipes is totally eyeing that glass with a twinkle of pride. We love you, Cocktail Recipes.

Leave it to Bourdain.

has anyone tried following this recipe / how well does it work / does it pretty much end up looking like the photo / is it completely delicious

Yes/Well/Sometimes/Yes

Yes/Well/As long as you pour slowly/Yes

Kudos to hellofyellin for posting the recipe. After practicing ahead of time, I made a bunch of these for my GFs birthday party a couple nights ago. Hell of popular drink that night.

oh god accidental lame I'm so sorry.

This also looks like what you'd get if you crossed Weezer with an iMac.

this is a very funny installment.

I remember Onstad trying to nail this one down for a week or so. After many failed attempts and a couple nights of blind drunken shenanigans he finally nailed this bad boy!

so who all bought a signed copy of this one?

You...You just took some quadra-million churned strawberry and vanilla ice cream, mixed in some olive oil and put a half scoop of each on top of some bourbon mixed with some more olive oil, didn't you! That ain't no napolitan shooter! That's 7 parts olive oil, 2 and a half parts ice cream and one half a part bourbon!

How could a strip with Cocktail Recipes in it be rated so low?

Also, I think it deserves a better rating because judging from the recipe, these things take skill to make.

We love you Cocktail Recipes!

Cocktail Recipes frightens me.

One.

Hey, I remember when Ray thought of this drink (down near the bottom).

...and then promised to run a picture of it.
