After 20:00 hours



This one took some experimentation, finally I settled for:
  • 3 part chocolate liquor, (Godiva in my case), and
  • 2 part peppermint schnapps (Rumple Minze).
I tried different proportions. 1:1 (1/2 ounce and 1/2 ounce) but it was too minty. 2:1 (1 ounce Godiva and 1/2 ounce peppermint) was too sweet. 3:2 was just perfect.

I tried to come up with a good name for this, but 'After Eight' was the only thing coming to my head. I thought it may be trademarked, or something, so I've decided that 'After twenty hundred hours' would do just fine.

Marsh





Since the last one was a bit too sweet, this time I tried it without the Curacao. Bingo! I call it Marsh, as it seems to be a bit muddy:
          • bottom half: ice cold peppermint schnapps
          • top half: Jägermeister.
Cool, refreshing and herbal. Just what is needed after heavier, fattier dinner. For the schnapps I use, as usual, the Rumple Minze Peppermint Schnapps.

Oil Spill


Also known as "Alaskan Oil Slick".
          • bottom 1/3: blue curacao
          • middle 1/3: peppermint schnapps
          • top 1/3: jägermeister
All of these should be ice cold, preferably from the freezer (except the curacao). For the peppermint schnapps I use Rumple Minze Peppermint Schnapps, as I like its more natural taste, but really, any will do.

All in all this one was a bit of disappointment, the Blue Arctic beats this one by a mile.
