Cocktail Recipes - post your recipes here

This is where you can post any cocktail recipes that you have created, or just any that you like in general. I figure this could be a good go-to thread for people wanting to find some different cocktails to try. I have fun at home experimenting with different mixtures, and sometimes I happen upon something that everyone seems to like.
Anyway, I'll start. This one I called Blue Skies, because, you know, everything needs a name. Maybe this has already been done before, but either way it's pretty damn tasty.
Blue Skies:
- 2oz vodka
- 1/3oz lemon juice
- 1/3oz blue curacao
- blueberries
- splash of simple syrup
Muddle blueberries with syrup. Add rest of ingredients and shake with ice. Pour through strainer into coupe or martini glass to catch all the blueberry bits. Express a lemon peel into the drink, rub around rim and drop it in along with one blueberry for garnish.
Personally I don't like much syrup, but I add more for my wife. She likes them a bit sweeter.
UPDATE: Here are some good resources for cocktail recipes that others have posted in this thread. I'll try and update this OP with them as they come in so that it's easy for everyone to access them on this front page.

Amaro Sour
Made this last weekend and, honestly, I didn’t love it. I think I’ll skip muddling the fruit and sugar and just go simple syrup with the fruit as garnish next time I try it.

May I contribute an online resource that I find very helpful with concocting cocktails?

Since you have Amaro Nonino laying around.
Paper Plane
¾ ounce bourbon
¾ ounce Aperol
¾ ounce Amaro Nonino
¾ ounce lemon juice
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker three-quarters filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into a coupe glass.
Recipe calls for 3/4 oz of everything but I went with an ounce.

I would drink that. I love spicy margs, and this is an interesting take.
Here's one that I found online a few weeks back. It's an Islay Scotch toddy, and it was outstanding. I drank quite a few of these when we had that freeze pass through. I modified it slightly to my taste, and I don't recall the exact original recipe. I think it called for cranberry juice, but I subbed the Pama Liquer to keep it more alcohol pure.
Smokey Tea Toddy
-2oz Islay Scotch (or wheated bourbon for non smoky drink)
-1oz tea/honey syrup (.5c each honey and hot water, mix then let tea bag seep for 6 mins)
-2oz boiling water
-squirt of lemon juice
-1/2oz Pama liquer
- dash of angostura bitters
- garnish with lemon twist and rosemary sprig
Mix the whisky, tea syrup, lemon juice, bitters and pama in mug. Pour boiling water to fill. express and rim with lemon twist. Clap the rosemary between your hands (this opens up the oils) then stick it into the mug.
Make sure you breathe in that rosemary and lemon before sipping. It may sound insignificant, but that olfactory definitely effects the tastes. This is seriously one great drink, and it is my go-to hot cocktail at my house.

Here’s a site I always check when looking for inspiration TheDrinkBlog
They have great photos. I always have a bottle of their homemade creme de cacao on hand. Next up - homemade orgeat (it’s about to be Tiki season!)

Smokey Tea Toddy
Love a traditional hot toddy and this sounds wonderful. Going to have to give it a try soon before it’s hot all the time.
Posted on 3/30/21 at 1:13 pm to tlsu15
I updated the OP with yall's resource links.
Same here. The OG Toddy is great stuff, but I will turn to this one every time now. It requires a bit more to make it, but it's well worth the effort. I enjoyed it both smoky and with the wheated bourbon. Try both

Got home & pulled out the wife-lady's recipe book. I cook & she makes the drinks. That's actually how we met. Anyway, this is a pic of her shelf in the refrigerator. There are 25 different bitters in there.
Here's one that's a riff on a Last Word
I think she prefers Uncle Val's Botanical or St. George Botanivore Gin. Also looks like she left out a couple of steps but, they are basic steps to cocktail making. Chill the glass, strain & serve up.

That is similar to a toddy, minus a cinnamon stick.
