.
El Diablo
2 ounces tequila
3/4 ounce créme de cassis
1/2 ounce lime juice
ginger ale
Stir tequila and cassis over ice in a chilled Collins glass. Top with ginger ale and garnish with a wedge of lime.


.
Satan's Whiskers (Straight)
1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
1/2 orange juice
1/4 ounce Grand Marnier
1 dash orange bitters
Shake with cracked ice; strain into chilled cocktail glass. Comb your new whiskers.


.
The Hemorrhaging Brain
2 Shots Strawberry Schnapps
1/2 Shot Bailey's
1 dash Grenadine
Pour the Schnapps into a lowball glass. Pour the Bailey's into the center, then the grenadine (merely a dash of color to resemble blood; myself, I bypass the grenadine and go for Type 0 Positive). If poured correctly, the Bailey's collects together at the bottom, granting the desired forensic imagery. Actually rather tasty once you get over looking at it.


.
The Vampire Voodoo
1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce red wine
Lime and lemon juice
Food Coloring (Red)
Tonton Macoute is rather more the authority on matters Voodoo, but Christian is the vampiric source here.
Mix the gin and wine together. Add crushed ice with red food coloring (Christian has a special brand; we don't inquire too closely about whether it's FD&C Red or not...), then a few drops of fresh lime and lemon. Shake side to side for a minute and serve. Grin maniacally.

.
An Alien Urine Sample
3/4 ounce Midori
3/4 ounce Peach Schnapps
3/4 ounce Malibu Rum
3/4 ounce Creme De Banana
Sweet And Sour
1 splash Club Soda
1/2 ounce Curacao (blue)
Hand shake or blend with ice the liquors with the sour. Strain into a pounder glass. Float the Blue Curacao before serving. Turn on your Electronic Thumb and be sure to take your towel with you. Do not attempt to hitch onto a Vogon ship unless there are Dentrassi cooks aboard.
No self-respecting alien would deposit a urine sample using Captain Morgan.


.
The Blood and Sand Cocktail
1/2 ounce orange juice
1/2 ounce Scotch Whisky
1/2 ounce Wild Cherry Brandy
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
Shake well with cracked ice, and strain into a 3-ounce cocktail glass. Grab some Old Mr. Boston Wild Cherry Flavored Brandy if you can.


.
The Blue Devil Cocktail
1 ounce dry gin
Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
1/2 ounce Maraschino
1/2 teaspoon Creme de Yvette
Shake well with cracked ice. Strain into a 3 ounce cocktail glass. The maraschino refers to the cherry liquour, not the cherries themselves.


.
The Green Devil
1 1/2 ounce gin
1 teaspoon green creme de menthe
2 teaspoons lime juice
Mint sprigs
Combine all ingredients except the mint sprigs with ice; shake well. Strain and add ice and mint.


.
The Black Devil
3 ounces light rum
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
Stir; strain into cocktail glass; toss in a black olive. If you have a black toothpick, you're demoniacally fabulous.


.
The Red Devil #2
1 part sloe gin
1 part Southern Comfort
1 part Amaretto
1 part Cointreau
lemon or lime juice
Shake over ice and serve either in a tallish shot glass or 1/4 of an old-fashioned. You can replace the sloe gin with vodka if you want less of a plum experience. Not too distant from mixing a Kamikazi with an Alabama Slammer, so you can imagine a nice view of the ceiling after downing a couple of these.

Submitted to the Dead Lounge by Manook aka Arthur. My Thanks!



.
The Bloody Sunday


3 ounces vodka
White vermouth
Blood
In n' Out swirl stir. Strain into a cocktail glass. The vermouth can vary depending upon taste:
  • Regular: 3/4 ounces
  • Dry: 1/2 ounce
  • Extra Dry: 1/4 ounce

It's basically a vodka martini, but we're not adding any twist of lemming or olive or onion garnishes. Just add a drop (or more) of the barkeeper's blood. It's no surprise that this drink isn't very popular today, nor even recommended due to health reasons...unless of course you're already on intimate terms with said barkeeper. Christian, naturally, adds just enough to bond the wearer to his will, so order this one with care. Hecate will never part with her blood, and will probably boil yours for asking (That's what you get for ordering a vodka martini from her in the first place...).

Recipe and much of the wiser commentary graciously submitted to the Dead Lounge by D.M. Fratz. My Thanks!



.
The Bloody Vera (aka The Transexual Vampyre)


1 jigger Black Death Vodka
1 1/4 ounces transexual vampyre blood
1 pinch powdered ear of wolfbat
1 sprig of deadly nightshade
Fill shaker with shaved ice, add all ingredients (except nightshade), shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into martini glass and garnish with sprig of deadly nightshade. Do not shake too long, as ingredients may become sluggish. Fruit bat ears may be substituted, but no cheating on the vodka brand.

NOTE: Some of the above ingredients are difficult and occasionally perilous to obtain, and the Bloody Vera is not a suitable drink for those that do not wish to be bonded or embraced to the vampyre in question. We at the Dead Lounge take no responsibility for any medical conditions that may ensue. If you're mortal and wish to remain so, order a Manhattan or something.

Dubious recipe and recommendations submitted to the Dead Lounge by the dearest and deadliest Vera Marie Verlaine, aka shemale9. My Thanks!



.
Hotter than Hell
1 1/2 ounces cinnamon schnapps
1 dash Tabasco sauce
1 Red Hot candy
Serve straight up in a tall glass, possibly a champagne flute. Drop the candy to the bottom. Hurt yourself.


.
Vampire's Kiss
1 ounce Stolichnaya Vodka
1/2 ounce Peach Schnapps
1/2 Ounce Razzmatazz
1 dash Grenadine
Cranberry juice
2-5 drops blood
Combine all ingredients straight up in a goblet or wine glass. Prick or slice the patron's finger, squeeze blood til dizzy or nauseous, and don't forget to expect a bigger tip! As with the Bloody Sunday, practice caution and wisdom when dealing with semi-drinkable fluids normally existing in arteries.

Created by the fabulous Sprinkles out of Houston, Texas, and submitted to the Dead Lounge by the lovely and deadly Necrophilia of the Necro Tonz, the only Lounge Goth band I've had the pleasure of enjoying.



.
Tequonic
2 oz. Tequila
Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
Tonic Water
Pour the tequila over ice into an old-fashioned glass. Add the lemon or lime juice, fill with tonic water and stir with a zombie-like stare.

Submitted to the Dead Lounge by Thug, who discovered this deadly little creation whilst in Mexico. My Thanks!



.
Grateful Dead
1/2 ounce white rum
1/2 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce tequila
1/2 ounce triple sec
1/2 ounce Chambord
splash sweet & sour
Serve in a tall glass. It's basically a Long Island Iced Tea, but with a frenetic kick. After a pair of these, the zombies mulling about in the corner begin to look good...

Submitted to the Dead Lounge by Maenad, a bartender by trade and goth by lifestyle. My deepest gratitude.



.
Vampiro
1 1/2 ounces tequila
sangria
grapefruit juice
Spanish for vampire (could you tell?), this diabolic mixture is made by pouring the tequila into a tall glass, filling 3/4 full with sangria, and topping off with the grapefruit juice. ¡Madre de dios!

Submitted quietly to the Dead Lounge by Don Garza, owner of the Half Cost Quality Casket Company. He found this drink in the red light district of a Mexican border town and fell in love with it. My respectful condolences for this lost soul.

WARNING: This cocktail contains some highly controversial ingredients, and I only include it in this august list as an example of some of the dangerous, possibly insane submissions by some of my readers. I must strongly caution visitors to take care with this concoction, submitted and written by Solemn Grimoire. The Dead Lounge is not responsible for actions committed while under the influence of this... this thing.

A Glass of Icy, Cold Mineral Water. With Some Lime
1 Bottle of Cold Mineral Water
3 Ice Cubes - Cold, ice cold
1 tall Glass, made of Glass (not plastic)
1 lime, that's green and like lime
Cut the lime into slices. Open the mineral water and pour into glass. Add the ice cubes, then add two slices of lime. Drink slowly, oh so very, very slowly.

Submitted irreverently to the Dead Lounge by Solemn Grimoire, whose dark exploits and level of evil must surely overshadow mine.
