I took a job as a bartender a couple of months ago and am often asked if I can make 'something new or different'. My current "new" drink is called 'chocolate cake' but everyone seems to be getting bored with it.

Caipirinha and Mojito....very strong and refreshing drinks. Many recipes in the Internet. Not very well known here in the US but a big hit over many years in Europe. Both cocktails have their origin in the Carribean/Cuba I believe and use sugar cane alcohol.
Caipirinha requires a lot of limes an brown sugar and ice which you squeeze all together and then fill up with the sugar cane alcohol.
Mojito is with fresh Mint leaves instead of the limes. Some use Tequila in it but I think this destroys the original flavor and I would stick to the original recipe.
You need thick glasses for the Caipirinha because of the squeezing - which you do with a little wooden device in the glass.
yummy!

I find the *sunrise* is good. You get orange juice whip it in a milkshake maker with some ice, pour it in a glass and with a spoon run red cordial down the side of the glasss slowly so it gets to the bottom it should rise like a sunrise, to make it a cocktail either vodka or champagne is good for it just add it before the cordial, if they dont like orange juice try pineapple juice and green cordial instead.

I don't know, but I was looking for what a chocolate cake was, and it lead me to this website. All the drinks have ratings, so they're ranked -- I thought it was cool. **CHEERS**
