1 1/2 oz. Brandy
1/2 oz. Amaretto
3/4 oz. Lemon Juice
1/2 oz. Simple Syrup
Red Wine

#020 Raticate (draft)

1 Barspoon Apricot Preserves
1 1/2 oz. Dark Rum

#027 Sandshrew

1 oz. Gold Rum
1/2 oz. Amaretto
1/2 oz. Berentzen
1/2 oz. Brown Sugar Syrup
2 dashes Orange Bitters

Add all the ingredients to a rocks glass without ice and stir lightly. Add ice, ideally one large cube. Stir again lightly, and garnish with a golden apple ball. 


This is an interested Old Fashioned style cocktail. The gold color of Sandshrew is brought out by the apple liqueur, the rum, and the dilution of the ice. I recently learned that a Sandshrew really is more of a pangolin than an armadillo. They are an endangered species. At the time of writing this, I have decided that once I get some professional photographs done of a few of these cocktails I'm going to create a Kickstarter to publish a version of these cocktails and donate any and all proceeds to animal charities. 

"Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon. Sandshrew hates moisture and lives in holes it digs in dry places. It protects itself by curling into a ball."

#037 Vulpix

1 oz. Amber Rum
1/2 oz. Peach Schnapps
1/2 oz. Amaretto
1 oz. Orange Juice
1/2 oz. Strawberry Liqueur

Shake and strain all ingredients except the strawberry liqueur in a tin with ice. Strain into a rocks glass with ice. Lightly drizzle strawberry liqueur over the drink. Stir one or two rotations with a sip stick. Garnish with a strawberry. 

This drink took a bit of inspiration for an old favorite of mine, the Alabama Slammer. I opted to use a bit of rum as a base for Vulpix as the color versatility of the spirit helped with this evolutionary line. the peach, amaretto, and orange juice came straight from the inspiration. When I learned about the drink I was taught that I should basically see sloe gin as a strawberry liqueur. Since then, I have learned the difference between the two (though with cheaper brands there isn't much difference), but I still believe that strawberry pairs better with orange juice. The Sloe Comfortable Screw was always a little light so I'd often strengthen it up to the Alabama Slammer. This is a slightly condensed version of that, in that it's no longer a tall drink; it's on the rocks. The flavor is very full, and the alcohol is just prevalent enough. Enjoy. 

"At the time of its birth, Vulpix has one white tail. The tail separates into six if this Pokémon receives plenty of love from its Trainer. The six tails become magnificently curled."
