Those Dry January folks must not be football fans. Big college championship game tonight. As I try to recommend drinks, I’m finding lots of different cocktails with the same name and various ideas of what’s the official drink of so-and-so. Therefore, I get to pick.
For the Ohio State Buckeyes I suggest a variation on one of my favorite drinks. The Buckeye Martini. cocktailbuilders.com says:
3 oz gin
1/2 dry vermouth
One black olive
Martini glass, of course
For Alabama, may I suggest per Liquor.com the Alabama Slammer
1 oz Southern Comfort
1 oz sloe gin
1 oz amaretto liqueur
2 oz OJ preferably fresh squeezed
Orange wedge garnish
Add to shaker with ice and pour into highball glass.
As an alternative, it’s your house. Drink what you want!
