COCKTAIL RECIPES: December 2025

61 Imperial


61 Imperial..

What is ’61 Imperial

  • The ’61 Imperial was created by a bartender named Porfirio (Steve) Alva — named after his 1961 Chrysler Imperial, hence the “outlandish” name to match the drink. greatbartender.com+2cocktailbuilder.com+2

  • It’s a layered, fruity cocktail that combines multiple spirits with banana liqueur, bright blue Curaçao, and tropical juice. It’s typically served in a tall glass (hurricane or chimney), over ice, with a tropical-style garnish. greatbartender.com+2Recipezazz.com+2


🍸 Ingredients (1 Serving)

Optional / Garnish:

  • Pineapple slice

  • Maraschino cherry (or cocktail cherry)

  • Maybe a slice of orange or a small tropical fruit wedge for extra flair


🧑‍🍳 Instructions (Step-by-Step)

  1. Grab a hurricane glass or tall “chimney-style” glass and fill it with cubed ice. cocktailbuilder.com+1

  2. Into the glass, pour all the spirits and liqueurs except the Blue Curaçao: white rum, vodka, overproof rum, crème de bananes. Cocktails & Drinks+2Recipezazz.com+2

  3. Add the pineapple juice. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine the alcohols and juice. greatbartender.com+2Cocktails & Drinks+2

  4. Float the Blue Curaçao on top — do this by slowly pouring over the back of a spoon, or carefully down the side of the glass so it layers rather than mixing immediately. Cocktails & Drinks+2cocktailbuilder.com+2

  5. Garnish with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry (or similar tropical garnish). Optionally, add an orange wedge or a cocktail umbrella for added vibe. greatbartender.com+2Cocktails & Drinks+2

  6. Serve immediately, with a straw or stirring stick — encourage swirling to enjoy the layered colors and tropical aromatics before drinking.


🌺 Flavor & Presentation Notes

  • Expect a very fruity, tropical flavor: sweet banana from crème de bananes, citrus from Blue Curaçao, and tropical pineapple juice all combine — but underpinned by strong alcohol (white rum + overproof rum + vodka).

  • The Blue Curaçao float gives a dramatic, layered look — great for visual appeal, especially under bar or party lighting.

  • Because of the overproof rum, this cocktail is strong; the sweetness and fruitiness mask strength well, but sip responsibly.

  • The balance of alcohol : juice : liqueur makes it more of a “party drink” — fun, bold, and eye-catching, not subtle or minimalist.


🔧 Variations & Tips

  • Swap juices — Some recipes substitute or mix pineapple juice with other fruit juices, though pineapple remains classic. drinklab.org+2Cocktails & Drinks+2

  • Adjust strength — If you prefer a lighter drink, reduce the overproof rum or increase the juice.

  • Presentation upgrade — Serve in a tall hurricane glass with a generous garnish: pineapple wedge, cherry, maybe a paper umbrella or cocktail pick of tropical fruit.

  • Batch for a party — The recipe scales well. For 4–6 servings, 2–3 oz of each liquor + 4–6 oz liqueur + 16–24 oz pineapple juice — but stir gently to keep the Curaçao float.

  • Taste layering — Encourage guests to sip slowly; the first sip hits sweet & fruity + alcohol, as Curaçao mixes gradually, you’ll taste more citrus-liqueur undertone near the end.


🎉 When to Serve ’61 Imperial

This is a perfect drink for:

  • Pool-side or beach-themed parties

  • Summer BBQs or tropical-style dinners

  • Tiki nights or casual get-togethers with friends

  • Celebrations where you want something festive, colourful, and fun

1964 Car Bomb RECIPE


Cocktail Recipes
1964 Car Bomb

The 1964 Car Bomb Cocktail is a bold and creamy drink that’s inspired by the infamous Irish Car Bomb, but with a twist — a nod to 1964, often symbolizing a “retro-style” or slightly modified recipe using richer or vintage ingredients.

(Note: The term “Car Bomb” can be sensitive due to its violent historical context, especially in Ireland. A more respectful name often used today is the “Irish Slammer” or “1964 Irish Slammer.” I’ll give you that recipe below — same drink, better name.) ☘️🥃


🍀 1964 Irish Slammer (a.k.a. 1964 Car Bomb Cocktail)

Ingredients

  • ½ pint (about 8 oz) Guinness Stout

  • ½ shot (0.5 oz) Irish whiskey (Jameson recommended)

  • ½ shot (0.5 oz) Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys)


Instructions

  1. Pour the Guinness into a pint glass, filling it halfway.

  2. In a shot glass, layer:

    • First, the Irish cream,

    • Then gently float the Irish whiskey on top (pour over the back of a spoon for layering).

  3. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness.

  4. Drink immediately — it will foam and curdle if left sitting.


Flavor Profile

  • Creamy and malty from the Guinness

  • Sweet and rich from the Irish cream

  • Warm and spicy from the whiskey
    The combination gives a dessert-like, velvety mouthfeel with a strong kick — smooth but powerful.


💡 Tips

  • Use cold Guinness for the best flavor balance.

  • Don’t let it sit — the cream reacts with the stout and thickens quickly.

  • If you prefer a less heavy version, try using nitro cold brew coffee instead of Guinness for a “1964 Coffee Bomb.”
