Mmm Mixin' Martinis

5 comments

I finally got a cocktail shaker and a set of cocktail glasses this past December (thanks to my lovely girlfriend) for my birthday and I've been mixing drinks ever since. My repertoire is still somewhat limited, but the chocolate orange Martini is my latest favourite.

  • 1 oz. Vodka
  • 1 oz. clear Crème de Cacao
  • ½ oz. Cointreau
  • shake over ice
  • serve sprinkled with chocolate flakes

Substituting the Cointreau with Frangelico also makes a nice nutty chocolate drink as an alternative. If you've got a favourite drink, give me your recipe. I really need to broaden my menu.

This is from P. Rasberry Gingerale:
1 oz. Framboise over ice and then fill the glass with gingerale.

Also, check out this site: you can search by ingredients, it's pretty good.

May I suggest you start making coconut ice milk tea at home? I'm sure Chien would show you how to do it properly.

Also, try a White Russian
- 1 1/2 oz Vodka
- 3/4 oz Kahlua
- 3/4 oz Light Cream or Milk

Daniel Burka

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm one of the founders of Milk Inc.. For several years I was the creative director at Digg and previous to Milk, I was the director of design at Tiny Speck. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.
