I prefer my drinks without a sugared rim, because it makes the glass sticky. However, my best friend wouldn't consume a Lemon Drop any other way. This is "our" recipe - the sugaring is up to you!
2 oz vodka
2 oz good lemonade (Minute Maid probably won't taste right)
1/2 oz triple sec
Shake with ice in a shaker and strain into chilled glass.

Mai Tai
My mom makes the best, and this is her recipe. Our favorite rum is Tortuga - used to only be able to get it on the Cayman Islands, now it is available in some grocery stores.
4 parts orange juice
1 part pineapple juice
1 1/2 parts coconut rum
1/2 part dark rum
splash of grenadine
Pour juices and coconut rum into a glass with ice. Float the dark rum on top and gently pour grenadine down one side of the glass. Garnish with fruit, if desired.

A pretty mild shot, this is yummy for a girl's party. Also makes a great drink!

1 part butterscotch schnapps
1 part Bailey's Irish Cream

The "Hustler" Martini
Named by two of my closest friends, this was consumed after a "very naughty" girls-night-out trip to Hustler Of Hollywood. Tastes like a mudslide, but without all the calories!
1 oz vanilla rum (or vodka, whichever you prefer)
1 oz Kalhua
1 oz Bailey's Irish Cream
1 oz half-and-half or milk (do not use cream - it tends to separate when shaking)
chocolate sauce, for garnish
Drizzle chocolate sauce around the inside of the glass. Shake all ingredients with ice in a shaker and strain into glass.

Caramel Apple Martini
Be careful with this one - it sneaks up on you!
2 oz vodka
2 oz sour apple schnapps
2 oz butterscotch schnapps
Shake with ice in a shaker and strain into a chilled martini glass.
(Presentation option: before pouring drink into glass, drizzle the inside with a little caramel sauce.)
