1 1/2 ounces gin
1/4 ounce grenadine
3/4 ounce lemon juice
1 egg white

2 ounces bourbon whiskey
3/4 ounce white creme de cacao

3/4 ounce gin
3/4 ounce lemon juice
3/4 ounce Cointreau
3/4 ounce Lillet
dash Pastis (Pernod, or other absinthe substitute)

Shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass

2 ounces vodka
1 ounce cranberry juice
1 ounce Cointreau or Triple Sec
1/2 ounce lime juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup

Shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. Optional: Before pouring the drink, you can moisten the rim of the glass with lime, then coat with sugar. Some people also add finely grated zest of orange to the sugar used to coat the glass with. A dash of Orange Bitters also works really well with this cocktail.

2 ounces rum
4 ounces cola
lime wedge

Pour over ice into a tumbler. Add a generous squeeze of lime, and then add the rind as a garnish.
(Drop the lime and you’ve got a plain old  Rum & Coke.)
