Snow White Cooler (white)

2 shots of Bailey's Irish Cream
1 Shot of Blended Whisky

Add liquor and ice to a cocktail shaker. Cover, shake well, then strain into a cocktail glass. May serve over ice, if desired, especially in particularly warm weather.

To remember Sarah Palin.

½ Shot of Gin

1 shot of Grenadine
1 shot of HPNOTIQ
1 shot of Light Cream

Build the layers in a short cocktail glass. (Hint: pour the liquid over the back of a spoon as you add them to the glass to help layer.) Serve and enjoy.
