Shawn,
My favorite brown cocktail is the Rusty Nail, which is scotch and Drambuie liqueur. Perhaps a cloved orange slice for a garnish. Like Jenny used to put in the bathroom to cover up the smell of poop.
Love,
Grant

now you've had two suggestions for the rusty nail, but perhaps a rusty screw is more to your liking. scotch, grand marnier, and lemon peel. i've got a bottle of grand marnier collecting dust if you want to test it out. sorry, no scotch.

if i were you, i'd throw in a sprig o' mint to complement the green grass of beaverton.

Dude, it is nice to see you back!! I have been meaning to delete your blog from my blog roll for a few months now, but I guess it's too late...

Oh, and go for the gold make your drink:
"Sweat Of A Bulls Ball"
Tequila, 5 drops Of Tabasco.

For something sweet, try something I created during my bartending days:

In a shot glass, layer
Bailey's
Kahlua
Banana Liquor

This order works best because the individual liquors are different weights. You can use a spoon to pour onto so they layer nicely.

Oh no, I didn't invent that one. It's called a Dirty Banana. Whoops!

thanks for the drink tips. it ended up that due to liability issues, the cocktail party turned into a juice party. i'm still going to make some of these drinks though.
