Some New Year's Eve drink ideas
Is there really a special New Year's Eve drink (besides champagne, of course?)
The folks over at idrink.com emailed me some intruiging drink ideas, and I thought I'd pass 'em along. If you've got a NYE specialty drink, feel free to share it, too. Here's three ...
North Pole Cocktail
1.0 dollop Whipped Cream
1.0 each White Eggs
1.0 oz. Gin
0.5 oz. Lemon juice
0.5 oz. Maraschino
Shake all ingredients (except whipped cream) with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Top with whipped cream and serve.
Celebration
1.0 oz Cognac
1.0 oz Cointreau
1.0 oz Lemon juice
1.5 oz Rum
Shake over ice and pour into cocktail glass. Garnish with orange peel.
Steaming Hot Holiday Punch Recipe
3.0 cups Apple Juice
1.5 teaspoons ground Cinnamon
3 sticks Cinnamon
0.75 teaspoon ground Cloves
6.0 cups Cranberry juice
0.75 cup Maple syrup
0.75 teaspoon ground Nutmeg
3.0 cups Orange juice
2.0 teaspoons powdered Sugar
Combine all the ingredients in a very large heavy pan, except the cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil and turn to simmer for few minutes. You can put the ingredients in a crockpot after it has boiled and keep warm over low heat.

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

Eggs and gin? That first drink sounds more like a Salmonella Surprise.

Liz,
My Italian grandmom's water ice recipe calls for raw egg. I ate it every summer growing up and even made some myself in more recent years.
Yum!
