Pimm's Cup

1 ounce gin (Plymouth or Tanqueray, I'd say).
Ginger ale.

French 75
Ingredients: Champagne, gin, Cointreau, lemon juice
(Note: some recipes specify cognac rather than gin; Google "French 75" to see a variety of recipes.)

Steps: For two drinks, shake up two ounces gin, one ounce Cointreau, and a dash of lemon juice. Strain into champagne glasses. Fill up the glasses with champagne. You can drop in a maraschino cherry or garnish with a lemon twist.

See the Wasteflake Project Shop for a mug and other items bearing a photograph of several French 75 cocktails in the making.

Sazerac
Ingredients: rye whiskey, cognac, Herbsaint (or Pernod, if you're outside New Orleans and can't get Herbsaint), Peychaud's Bitters, sugar

Smokey Sip
Inspired by a recipe for a "martini fume" that Steve saw on the Well.
Ingredients: vodka, whisky, pernod, bitters
Steps: pour thee parts vodka, one part whiskey, dash pernod, dash bitters over ice. Shake, strain, pour into glasses.

Steve's Smile
We have enjoyed a Broussard's Smile at a cocktail tour stop at Broussard's in New Orleans during the Tennessee Williams Festival. Unfortunately, we could not find a recipe on Broussard's web site or in the otherwise excellent Obituary Cocktail (photographs and text of many "great saloons of New Orleans" by Kerri McCaffety). So this is my take on the drink:

Ingredients: Cointreau (orange liqueur), peach liqueur (I've used peach scnapps to good effect), Cognac, Peychaud's Bitters
Steps: Combine one part Cointreau, one part peach liqueur, one part cognac and a drop of bitters. Shake with ice and strain into glasses (martini glasses show off the rosy orange color nicely). Drop a mandarin orange slice into each glass, and enjoy.
