The Bornberry (when I used to work in a cocktail bar we had to invent a drink that only the barman in question would serve, this was mine):

3 measures of (white) rum
2 measures of melon liqueur
1 measure of strawberry liqueur
5 fresh strawberries
Ice
Mix
Pour into long drink glass and top off with Napoleon or Cointreau.

Far better than mine!

I worked 2 years as a barman, after school, to make ends meet, and I came up with a disgraceful recipe which only one regular client liked... and only when he was totaly hammered.

1 oz. Bacardi
1 oz. coffee liquor
Seven Up (or Sprite, for that matter)

Pour the whole thing in a tall glass with ice cubes and that's it.

Horrible, I tell you. I named it the Nirvana.

Mine was called the Gray Slug:

Pick up your drip pad, ring it out into a glass and voila, the Gray Slug.

I found a terrible drink online when I was drinking for pain:

The Cockroach (aka The Cock-a-roach)

1 oz. tequila
1 oz. Kahlua

Put 'em together in a glass and mix well. Drink it and wish you hadn't. That's pretty much it.

Oh dude, La Cucharacha (Spanish for cockroach), is quite famous and it is GOOD! 😵

But, you must flame it, and drink it with a straw while flames are on.

Try it out in the company of friends (preferably female).

You'll thank me for a wild night 🙂

It helps to use good tequila (hint not Jose anything)

So, my man, what would be a good tequila for your taste?

(I've been so long away from the motherland that maybe there are brands I don't know)

Wait, wait, this is my chance of geeting something straight: In the U.S. lime is lemon, right? I mean, the green, small one?

Lime = green
Lemon = bigger and yellow

Sotol is not tequila, is Sotol, and Sonora has the denomination of origin.

Perhaps they're using the name Sotol as a brand and not as indication of the product?

Damn, I've been away so long that maybe I'm not qualified anymore to speak about tequilas.

Don Julio used to be my favorite, followed by Don Porfidio. I wonder if they still exist. 100% blue, both, of course. SImply delicious.

Even so, a Texas lime is often larger than a lemon from California, just as a Texas orange is larger than a Florida grapefruit. Texas grapefruit are the size of basketballs.
