The Schrotini

[schro]

I was asked what's in it. Robmeister, I expect you to mix yourself one during your next shift. Here's the recipe.

2 parts Citron Vodka *
1 part Triple Sec
1 part Blue Curacao
splash of Rose's lime juice

All ingredients shaken and served in a chilled martini glass. Throw in a twist if you want.

* As you know, Ketel One is my favorite vodka (can't drink Grey Goose....it's French, political reasons) and is supposed to be sipped over ice. So, I'll usually make a Schrotini with a less expensive vodka like Smirnoff or Burnett's.

It's a flavor to savor with a neighbor.

Sounds good, definately a deviation from my usual Bombay Sapphire Martini...DIRTY, I get when at martini bars...anywhere else, just...

 

...thanks for the recipe Schro, look forward to ordering one up!

It's definitely a deviation from a good Gin martini, and it is a little more on the sweet side of life. But since all ingredients are alcohol (except for the lime juice), it does have some bite to it.

I think I can arrange that Schro, give me a day or two and I will talk with 'em!

Hey Schro, I was sittin in the local college bar when I saw this post, had my buddy mix me up a Schrotini, excellent work.....tastes great.... He served four of them right after I ordered one.... maybe becoming a new drink here at Eastern Washington University.

Gonna start suggesting the "Schrotini" at my bar...

I gotta try a Schrotini soon!  Sounds like a plan for this weekend.

RM, if you ever have someone order a Chocolate Martini, offer this instead:

2 parts Malibu Rum
1 part White Creame de Cacao
Splash of Godiva or any other chocolate liquer

Serve in a martini glass and line the rim or glass with chocolate.

This is called a Mounds Martini after the Mounds chocolate bar.

I don't claim this to be anywhere as good as the soon to be famous Schrotini, but it's a far better alternative to the chocolate martini.

That friggin' rocks!
Next time I visit my aunt & uncle in Mattawa, I'll have to make a side trip to Cheney.

Haha small world Schro, all of my family is from a small town not to far from Mattawa, in fact we our high schools play each other in sports.  Hey Schro if I pick that up today what size do ya need?

Ok schro, temp hit 90 here...just got back from store with the makin's of schrotinis.  I AM WORRIED though, the last time I followed advice from you guys I began shavin' my head every day and never stopped...

[schro]

As a side rule, I usually have a beer chaser when the temp hits 90.

[Paul]

No beer in the house, just wine.  Give a review in a bit, neighbor on his way over to try one. (it's great when the ladies work late!)

Not to hijack the thread, but summer time calls for Margaritas... I'll post the Perfect Margarita up soon!

I've never been a mixed drink kinda guy. I'll have a margarita if the wife isn't gonna finish hers, but that's about it. Since the Schrordinary American came up with this one, I may have to try it.

We'll see

You know... not to be a naysayer or anything, but if you change out the Vodka with Tequila, change the Blue Curacao with Orange Curacao (same flavor, different color) and put a touch more rose's in this it transforms into a Margarita...

[schro]

Yeah?
If you put a wig on BaldRob, add some boobs, and change out his crank for a catcher's mit, he'd be a woman.

But at least I'd still have my looks...
