Good Morning Darlings!
With Thanksgiving on our heels, you might be in the market for a tasty cocktail right about now. Me, I am always on the lookout for tasty libations to toast my guests.
Tomorrow, People Magazine will reveal their annual Sexiest Man Alive issue. And our dear friend Esther in New York City sent us suggestions for drink ideas that match some very sexy guys. You might know some of them.
I like how Esther says it best. I added the videos. Did you know that all of these guys sing? I thought you might like that….
Have you ever wondered what your taste in men says about your cocktail personality? In honor of the upcoming reveal of the Sexiest Man Ever, five of the most attractive gentlemen on Earth have been paired with a mouth-watering cocktail based on their looks, personality and charm. From the adventurous world-traveler to the Latin heartthrob, this list has it all! To find your perfect match, first select your favorite guy from the five featured below–then read on to see what drink fits your cocktail personality. Regardless of who wins, you’ll have a delectable cocktail in hand when the Sexiest Man Ever is revealed on November 19th!
1. Enrique Iglasias / The Flor de Cana Like It Mojito
For those who can’t resist an exotic, Latin lover like Enrique, the I Like It Mojito is the drink for you. This deliciously refreshing cocktail made with the pride of Nicaragua, Flor de Caña rum, fresh mint leaves and lime juice – sure to cool you down after hours of dancing to this man’s sexy hits – not to mention abs!
I Like It Mojito
1 ½ oz. Flor de Caña 7 Year Grand Reserve Rum
1 Tbs superfine sugar
Lime wedges
4 sprigs of fresh mint
Club soda
Muddle mint leaves, sugar and lime in a mixing glass. Add Flor de Caña and ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice and top with soda. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
2. Matthew McConaughey
If a sweet, environmentally friendly, laidback guy like Matt is your type, how about a no-fuss cocktail that truly delivers in the taste department. Mix up the simple McConaughey’s Match, a cool creation combining the delicious pear-liqueur Xanté with lime juice and soda that you won’t want to put down.
McConaughey’s Match
1 ½ oz. Xanté
½ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
Lemon-lime soda
Pour Xanté and lime juice over ice in a highball glass and top with Sprite or 7 UP. Squeeze a lime wedge and drop into glass
3. Pierce Brosnan
Though most often remembered looking devilishly handsome in a tuxedo, Pierce Brosnan conveys a distinguished, sophisticated demeanor no matter what he’s wearing at the time. If this classic guy is your type, try mixing up a timeless cocktail like the 007 Sidecar, featuring the smooth taste of Camus cognac.
007 Sidecar
1 ½ oz. Camus VSOP
¾ oz. fresh lemon juice
½ oz. simple syrup
Shake all ingredients vigorously in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a twist of lemon
4. Johnny Depp
This mysterious, tattooed actor is anything but predictable. Fans of his effervescent personality may enjoy the intriguing taste of Lucid absinthe, the brand responsible for lifting the absinthe ban back in 2007. Try Johnny’s Lucid Elixir which mixes Lucid absinthe, melon liqueur and grenadine for a shot as mystifying as Depp himself.
Johnny’s Lucid Elixir
1 oz. Lucid
1 oz. Midori Melon Liqueur
1 oz. lemon-lime soda
1 ½ oz. pineapple juice
Drizzle of grenadine
In a cocktail shaker add Lucid Absinthe, Midori Melon Liqueur, pineapple juice and ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a 2 oz shot glass. Splash lemon-lime soda on top and finish with a drizzzle of grenadine.

5. Brad Pitt
Few can resist this worldly, award-winning actor and social activist… and talk about an authentic guy!
If a well-traveled charmer like Pitt has your heart, take a trip and discover Russian Standard Vodka, the certified authentic Russian Vodka. We love to sip the Russian Standard Moscow Mule, a thirst-quenching libation featuring ginger beer, lime juice and Russia’s number one premium vodka, Russian Standard. Better yet – serve it up in an authentic Copper Mug. Buy one at www.RussianStandardMoscowMule.com
The Russian Standard Moscow Mule
2 oz. Russian Standard Vodka
5 oz. premium ginger beer
Wedge of lime
Pour two ounces of Russian Standard Vodka over ice in a chilled Russian Standard copper mug or Collins glass. Add 5 ounces of ginger beer and stir gently. Garnish with a squeezed wedge of lime.
