Liqueur

Grand Marnier adds a little kick to this variation on the classic Champagne cocktail.

Named for a county in Ireland, this cocktail is made with Irish whisky and emerald-green herbal Chartreuse liqueur.

This recipe calls for semisweet chocolate; try a Mexican chocolate such as cinnamon-flavored Ibarra from Guadalajara if you can. If using Ibarra, omit the cinnamon sticks and brown sugar.

The sweetness of honey and the bite of Campari combine in this refreshing drink; its flavor is reminiscent of grapefruit.

A lovely champagne cocktail.

Málaga Tapas & Bar gets its name from a city on Spain's southern coast — and from the authentic savory appetizers and snacks it serves with wine and other drinks, in the Andalusian tapas tradition. Málaga, located in Austin's trendy Warehouse District, is a favorite among the after-work and late-night crowds. This recipe for sangria comes from the restaurant's bar manager and resident wine expert, Merrill Frank.
