#216 Cocktail: Oatmeal Cookie

     Very tasty cocktail!!!
    Couldn't find any history of for this cocktail and in the book that I have there is only the recommendation that the ratios need to be respected in order for the taste to be the same as an oatmeal cookie. And it is.
1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream
1 ounce butterscotch schnapps
1 ounce Jagermeister
1/2 ounce cinnamon schnapps

#188 Cocktail: Mudslide

    The cocktail is in the duos and trios category of cocktails, which means cocktails made with 2 or 3 different liqueurs with a spirit base.
     Mudslide is a colloquial term for mudflow, the most rapid and fluid type of earth movement.
     The original Mudslide was allegedly invented during the 1950s at the Wreck Bar on Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. In its heyday—and in the bars of chain restaurants where this cocktail still appears—the frozen drink was often made with a mix that came in a plastic bottle.

#160 Cocktail: Irish Peach Cream

   The cocktail was created by Gaz Regan's wife, Mardee in the late 1990's. The name oof the cocktail is obviously form the two ingredients that make the drink, the irish cream and the peach vodka.
   A sweet creamy drink with a smooth taste of peach, this cocktail can be made with any other flavor of vodka and, of course, the name has to be changed :)

#58 Cocktail: Baileys Chocolate Martini

   This cocktail doesn't have any history, or if it has I don't know it and I can not find it anywhere. It was taught by Gaz Regan from one of his Trinidadian friends in Port of Spain in 2001. So, as you can see, this cocktail is neither an old cocktail or a classic one.......but sure is tasty!

2 ounces vodka
3/4 Baileys Irish Cream
3/4 dark creme de cacao

#38 Cocktail: B-52

  The name refers to the band The B-52's, whose name comes from the US B-52 Stratofortress long-range bomber. This bomber was used in the Vietnam War for the release of incendiary bombs, which likely inspired today's flaming variant of the cocktail; another hypothesis centers on B-52 combat losses ("Burns like a B-52 overHanoi").
  One story behind the B-52 is that it was invented by Peter Fich, a head bartender at the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Alberta. He named all of his new drinks after favourite bands, albums and songs. This drink was, of course, named after the band of the same name. One of his first customers for a B-52 owned restaurants in various cities in Alberta and liked the drink so much that he put it on the menu. This is why this, the first shooter, is commonly believed to originate at the Keg Steakhouse in Calgary, Alberta in 1977.[1] The B-52 is also rumoured to have been created by Adam Honigman, a bartender at New York City's Maxwell's Plum.
   The B-52's widespread popularity has resulted in many variations, each earning a slightly different designation (see variations below for a small sampling). Altogether, the drinks are referred to as the B-50 series of layered cocktails.
   The drink became a North London favourite in late 2009 when Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner changed his shirt number from 26 to 52, earning himself the nickname "B52" in the process

#36 Cocktail: Boston Cream Martini

      The earliest European settlers first called the Boston area, Trimountaine,
after the "three mountains" located there at the time. The city was later renamed Boston after Boston, Lincolnshire, England, from which several prominent colonists had emigrated.
    The drink is adapted by Gary Regan from a recipe by Russ Hovermale, Buzz restaurant in Boston....of course.
   At first you might think that the drink is girly, but don't be fooled, cause 2 1/2 ounces of vodka are not quite girly
2 1/2 ounces vodka
1/2 ounce Baileys 
1 dash vanilla extract
