Drinks that CONTAIN Alcohol



Fire Crackers

1 1/2 oz Tequila
Cracked ice
Tonic water
Lime wedge

Pour tequila over the ice in a highball glass. Fill with tonic. Stir and garnish with lime wedge.


Star Spangled Jello Shooters

4 c Package Jello*
2 c Boiling water
2 c Liquor**

*Any flavor.
* *86 or 100 proof--don't use 151, any type.
Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water and let it cool.

Add the liquor. Pour about 1/8 to 1/4 cup into little paper cups and chill.

Vodka is the usual first choice, but rum is really good too.


4th of July Lemonade

1 part Jack Daniel's bourbon
1 part triple sec
1 part sweet-and-sour mix
4 parts lemon-lime soda.

Combine all ingredients and serve this refreshing drink over ice.


Independence Day Punch

26 oz Rye
2 Bottles sherry
3 Bottles ginger ale
2 Whole oranges -- sliced

Pour 2 bottles of the ginger ale into a bundt pan and add some of the orange slices. Freeze and use as ice ring as it doesn't dilute the punch when it melts.

Punch does become smoother as the ring melts. Put orange slices in the punch bowl and add other ingredients. (You may wish to have one more bottle of ginger ale to make the ice ring.)
