Cocktail made of gin and dry vermouth?
The name for it is a "Martini"
Lots of different takes on it, but basically it is Gin, French Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat), Tonic Water, Lemon Twist. Some say ice, some say no ice to be true to the original. Some say no tonic water. Some say 1/3 Tonic, 1/3 Gin, 1/3 Vermouth. Some say 6/10 Gin to 4/10 Vermouth. Some say Sweet Vermouth is OK. Some say twist of lemon rind for fragrance. Some say slice of lemon. Some say lemon and mint garnish. I am not sure what the orignal recipe really is, but I think it was Gin, Vermouth, and Tonic, no ice. Greer Garson ordered it from Reginal Owen in 'Random Harvest' and got it in what looks like a tall shot glass.

What is the traditional way to drink tequila?
The traditional way (said to reduce burn and enhance flavor): # Obtain tequila, salt, and a thin slice of lime # Fill shot glass with tequila # Moisten back of hand or finger, apply salt to taste # Lick salt from hand or finger, toss back tequila, bite into lime slice. Variations to this process abound, and many prefer premium tequila straight, or with a sangria or carbonated beverage as a chaser.

Where can you get the recipe for Tropical relief martini from Outback Steakhouse?
I asked a waitress one night after having this martini and she told me the ingredients. The liquor is .5 oz Kahlua, .5 oz. Bailey's, 1.0 oz. Vodka The other ingredients are gingerbread flavored syrup (which I found at Target in the coffee aisle) but I'm not sure how much to add - I think 1-2 oz. And then "ice milk" (which I was not able to find. I used gingerbread flavored coffee creamer instead) and I added an oz. or so. The rim is done in graham cracker crumbs and it is finished with spray whip cream and a Pepperidge Farm Ginger Man cookie (found in the grocery store) I remade this at home using cheaper alcohol versions like Kamora instead of Kahlua, etc. and it tasted just like Outback's!

What does mint julep taste like?
Most recipes recommend using fresh spearmint for a mint julep, however it really depends on the drinker's taste for mint. A stronger mint flavor would require peppermint or chocolate mint. Milder flavors would go more with apple mint or one of the others like pineapple mint. However I would NOT recommend using lemon mint unless you like the smell of citronella.
Yes. But there are far less than 10 parts per million (ppm) in brandy. Sulfites are naturally occurring in grapes and in fermented beverages. They are not chemically changed by boiling, so they appear in the final product, like brandy. Let's review.
A number of fruits and vegetables produce sulfites naturally. It may be an evolutionary tactic because sulfites stave off decay, inhibit bacterial growth and stuff like that. Sulfites began to be added to wine as a means of preserving it, and this has been going on for many centuries. The chemistry of sulfite addition was not understood way back then, but the effects were. A number of wines have sulfites added to them to this day. So do a number of other food products - and for the same reason. (Apricots have a goodly amount added to preserve them when they are dried. A couple of ounces of them has a higher sulfite content than a bottleof some wine.) There is a requirement for a warning label if sulfite content in a particular bottle of a wine exceeds 10 ppm. When cruising the shelves of wine, sometimes you see the labels, and sometimes you don't. Other sulfite treated foodstuffs are still out there, but the trend has been to move away from adding much (or any) sulfites to foods. Certainly the FDA has had a say and few produce items are treated with them anymore. No fresh fruits and vegetables are supposed to be treated with sulfites.
The issue here probably revolves around the varying levels of sensitivity different people have to sulfites. Some exhibit a strong reaction to the presence of sulfites in a food product, even at low levels. Some will only be mildly affected and some others will not notice any effects at all because they do not react to the presence of the chemicals. Sulfites, by the way, are a group of compounds and not just one. They all, however, have a compound with the SO32- ion present in their structure, and that is what gives them their "sulfite identity" as such. Except sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is also considered a sulfite. And sulfur dioxide is naturally occurring in all grapes.
There are some wines that don't have sulfites, but they are a challenge to locate. Almost all traditional vintners add sulfites to their final product to preserve it. It is usually added in moderation, however. The amount added will vary with the type of wine as well as the ideas of the vintner. Again, if sulfite content exceeds 10 ppm, you'll see a label. Imported wines sold commercially must have a warning label affixed if they exceed the 10 ppm sulfite limit.
Most people do not have strong alergic reactions to sulfites, but for a few, and asthma sufferers are high on the list, they can react most strongly to the presence of sulfites in foods or drink. Some attacks have been fatal. For most adults, however, there is the idea that if you've enjoyed a few glasses of wine and you are still breathing, you're not one of the few who needs to avoid sulfites. When consuming wine in moderation, the issues with sulfites will be hard to notice - if they can be detected at all. In the words of one chemist, "There are many hundreds of chemical compounds in wine. Many hundreds. Why all the fuss over this one? If it hasn't killed you by now, it's probably because it can't."
Asthma and allergies can sometimes develop "out of nowhere" at just about any time in a person's life. It's a curious thing. But it is imporbable that an allergy to sulfites can occur in later years. You may want to do a skin test or something like it with an allergist to see if you might be at risk. Or perhaps just chat with your medical care provider. There are no substitutes for sound professional medical advice.

How much orange juice do you need to serve 150 people one mimosa?
One bottle should make four healthy mimosas, but I would probably reserve one bottle per two guests if you want them to enjoy your brunch like a lush.
What kind of alcohol is in a Manhattan cocktail?
Fill a cocktail glass with ice and cold water. Set it aside. Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add 2oz (40ml) rye or Bourbon whiskey, .5oz - 1oz (10-20ml) sweet vermouth (sweet vermouth is also called Italian or rosso vermouth), and two dashes of of Angostura bitters. Stir for about 20 seconds. Spill the ice and water out of the cocktail glass. Strain the Manhattan cocktail into the glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or an orange twist.
If you prefer, you can shake a Manhattan in a cocktail shaker, but it will be cloudy.
Can triple sec subsitute for grenadine?
They do not have anything in common other than a high sugar content.
Triple Sec is a liqueur made of orange rinds and although it is way less sweet than its cousin Curacao it is still quite sweet. Being that it is quite sweet and has a citrus flavor it would probably be a good addition to any drink calling for grenadine but is not one bit close in flavor to it at all. Grenadine is a syrup made from the juice of the pomegranate (although often just a light sugar syrup dyed red with a touch of acetic acid added)
Also keep in mind grenadine is non-alcoholic, Triple Sec is not.
