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)

• ½ oz (15 ml) White rum (light rum) Cocktails & Drinks+2Recipezazz.com+2

• ½ oz (15 ml) Vodka Cocktails & Drinks+2cocktailbuilder.com+2

• ½ oz (15 ml) Overproof rum (traditionally “151 proof rum”) — this gives the drink a strong, potent kick. cocktailbuilder.com+2greatbartender.com+2

• ½ oz (15 ml) Crème de Bananes (banana liqueur) — adds a sweet, tropical banana-fruit layer. greatbartender.com+2Recipezazz.com+2

• 1 oz (30 ml) Blue Curaçao liqueur — aromatic citrus + vivid blue color, often floated at the end to layer. Cocktails & Drinks+2cocktailbuilder.com+2

• 4 oz (≈120 ml) Pineapple juice (or in some variations, a fruit juice; but pineapple juice is classic) greatbartender.com+2Recipezazz.com+2

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.

1964 Car Bomb

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.”
