I tasked myself with creating an after-dinner cocktail for a poker night, and ended up gambling on this:
Honey Monster
15ml (1/2oz) vodka
7.5ml (1/4oz) Drambuie
7.5ml (1/4oz) Grand Marnier
Pour ingredients into mixing glass with ice. Stir well. Strain into a serving glass with fresh ice.
*To make the vanilla-infused tequila, take a few pods of vanilla, split them open lengthwise with a knife, drop them into a bottle of tequila and let sit for a few days, shaking the bottle now and again.
The recipe above has been slightly modified from the formula I served with the poker chips, which ended up being a tad too sweet for my taste (warning: Drambuie dominates everything, which is why I knocked it down from 15ml to 7.5ml here). The Honey Monster tastes exactly as it sounds - vanilla/honey/herbs/booze, with a sweetish finish - perfect for sipping while one slyly assembles a Royal Flush.
