Pink Squirrel
This pink squirrel cocktail is the perfect Valentine's Day beverage. It's sweet, creamy, and even has a touch of chocolate. Creme de Noyaux can be found on Amazon. However, it can also substitute with Grenadine and Disarrono Velvet.
The Pink Squirrel cocktail was first created in 1940s at a Milwaukee bar. Original recipe called for ice cream. But the cocktail has evolved. It could have started as a milkshake with spirits. It was a huge success in the Midwest and was a well-loved cocktail for decades. But, it lost its creamy appeal in the 1970s.
A variation on this drink uses two kinds of fruit liqueur to make the pink color. The cocktail can be made with grenadine or other fruit preserves.

For its name, the drink evokes the double-cheek kiss between Andreotti and Riina. Southern Comfort is a bittersweet liqueur that contains Amaretto.
It's a simple cocktail or shooter, but the bittersweet smoothness of Amaretto di Saronno, a liqueur from Sicily, balances the sweetness of the wine. The result is a Valentine's Day cocktail or shot that celebrates love.

How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Let stand overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
