Just curious, all you guys with the black books. Do you have the recipes in any particular order or what? I too have a lot of recipes all over the place but don't know quiet how to do it right.

Don't know about the rest of the Mix-monkeys here...... I have my little book broken down into catagories (classic, tropical, etc...) and then I just add them as I get them. I took a highlighter and marked the page edges for each 'chapter' so I can open to the catagory and just go from there. Maybe not the most organized, but it makes it way easier to add recipes.

OK, now that we have all fessed up to our little black books, anyone willing to share anything from the INSIDE of your treasures? I'll go first.....

Modified Margarita:
1/2 oz fresh lime (a bit more is OK)
1 oz Parfait Amour (lavendar colored orange liquor)
1 1/2 oz Silver Agave Tequilia (I like Milagro)

Shake like hell and strain into cocktail glass. For best presentation salt one-third of the rim, colored sugar on one-third and nothing on the last third.

The Parfair Amour gives the cocktail an odd color but the taste more than makes up for it.
