#285 Cocktail: Tsar's Champagne

   The recipe was submitted by pioneer spirits writer Herb Silverman who said that he heard of it from a Russian in 1945 and that it was supposedly the favorite drink if the tsars of Russia.
    Even if it sounds that will blow your head off, it's not that bad when you drink it. I might have to see what happens later.

2 ounces chilled vodka

3 1/2 ounce chilled champagne

#284 Cocktail: Toasted Almond

  I know it looks like the White Russian, but it is not. Probably someone (I have no idea who) created it for the ones who do not enjoy White Russian.
   It's quite tasty, but it's a little too sweet for me. It happens when you combine only two liqueurs. Easy way to make it and if you don't like vodka, this one is for you.

 1 1/2 ounce Amaretto

1 1/2 ounce Kahlua 

1 ounce cream  

#283 Cocktail: Tiepolo

    One of the cocktails that enter in the "most easy to make" type of drinks. This is just a strawberry variation of the well known Bellini. If you like sweet cocktails,this is one for you.
      Do know who created the cocktail, but the name might come from the eighteenth-century Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

2 ounces strawberry puree

3 1/2  ounces chilled prosecco

#282 Cocktail: Teresa

    A really unusual drink where the base is not a strong spirit but a softer one. A little to sweet for my taste, but nonetheless a really tasty one.
     It was adapted from a recipe by Rafael Ballesteros of  Spain. Campari, a bitter aperitif of Italy, is often married to fruit juices such as grapefruit juice or orange juice, but Rafael took it a step further and used creme de cassis, finishing by adding lime juice to the mix and creating a complex marvel of a drink

2 ounces Campari

3/4 ounce Creme de Cassis

1 ounce fresh lime juice
