Drinks inspired by "The Help"

The team at Snake Oil Cocktail Company created a few original drinks inspired by the new movie The Help. I was thrilled to be invited to a screening in San Diego and equally excited to sample some of these amazing cocktails during the after party:

The Skeeter
Sweet, strong, and a little spicy
1 oz. tequila
1 oz. triple sec
1/2 oz. cranberry
Finish with jalapeno-orange foam

The Aibilene
Subtle, smooth and Strong
1 1/4 oz. coffee liquor
1/2 oz. bourbon
1/4 oz. amaretti
1 oz. cream
1 dash coco nibb bitters

The Hilly
Sour and chilled, with a sharp twang
1 1/2 oz. applejack
1/2 oz. triple sec
1/2 oz. lemon juice
Fill with dry hard cider

I can kind of imagine the taste of the first two, but that last one? Can't quite imagine applejack. I imagine Hilly tasting more like bitters.

About the Big Sis

Jordan Catapano
My bartending career started in a chain restaurant and took me to dive bars, 5 stars, and private parties in some of LA's most beautiful residences. I've served Puff Daddy champagne, poured Keifer Sutherland an ungodly amount of Jack Daniels, and mixed cocktails for Pamela Anderson and Kidd Rock post-divorce, pre 2nd marriage (just to name-drop a few).

Our book, "This Girl Walks Into a Bar," (written by me and designed by my sister, Jocelyn) is an all-in-one bartending guide designed for any woman who wants the lucrative career of tending bar, or simply aspires to mix cocktails like a master at home!
