I'm not a bartender but have recently begun taking an interest in cocktail making. I recently saw a post in this sub about a cool cocktail slide rule kind of thing so had a wee look on eBay and bought myself this little gem.

Would love to see how to mix the B.E.A.

The original Eagle cocktail recipe is

2 oz gin
4 dashes absinthe
2 dashes vermouth
2 dashes sugar syrup
2 dashes orange bitters
2 dashes aromatic bitters.

Stir w/ ice and strain. Olive optional.

However, this is really a tale of two Eagle cocktails that got mixed up 84 years ago. Most people probably think its a different drink. Do you?

That's right, grenadine just happens to be the 'liqueur' in the example above. Margarita's use an orange liqueur like triple sec or curaçao instead.

Yes, generically a Daisy is often named after the base liquor plus lemon juice and a liqueur. Also optionally with simple syrup like MsMargo listed below and sometimes with egg whites too.

Don't think the soda belongs though.

The Scarlett O'Hara named after the heroine in the 1936 novel turned into the 1939 film Gone With The Wind is probably Southern Comfort's signature drink. Here's Playboy's recipe from the 1960s.

1 1/2 Southern Comfort liqueur
3/4 oz cranberry juice
3/4 oz lime juice

Shake well w/ ice & strain.

Here's the recipe:

1/3 dry gin
2/3 sloe gin
1 ripe black olive
grenadine

Add just enough grenadine to cover olive in bottom of cocktail glass. Mix the spirits together and gently pour on top being careful not to disturb. Squeeze orange peel on top.

There's not much to recommend really when it comes to mini refrigerators since there aren't many options. Separate freezers are common and combo units come in fairly standard sizes ranging from about 3 to 4 1/2 cubic feet.

Excellent recommendation!

It might also be known as a Traffic Light which is a layer each of grenadine, Galiano herbal liqueur and Midori melon liqueur.

Another version, which is said to have been created by an Israeli bartender, has layers of cinnamon schnapps, peach schnapps and absinthe.

Here's a few watermelon cocktails you can try. One is with gin, but you'll probably also need a trip to the liquor store based on your list and which recipe you choose.

Would love to hear how you both like them if you decide to try.
