I'm assuming you have normal sugar? Mix up some of that vodka with lemon juice and rim the shot glasses with sugar. Om nom nom.

Muddle the mint, add lemon juice.

Umm. Vodka.

Umm. Lots.

Tonic. Some. / Or, vermouth, splash, if that's how you roll.

OKAY GO, go do this if you have a big punch bowl kinda thing put all this into it.

Chop up a lemon, into quarters - squeeze juices

Add like two and a half cups of Ginger liquor

half a cup of white wine

Muddle some mint, no ALL the mint, muddle it, add some fresh flakes to the top, you want MINT ESSENCE.

Add a half cup of Nolly Pratt

Add two cups of vodka

Add a squirt of lemon and a fistfull of sugar.

Pour in a good half bottle of tonic water.

Whelk, you and I need to get together someday to seriously talk cocktails.

a caiparoska is a caiparinha made with vodka

Twiggy - sure! I can make serious cocktails, but I like improvising.

Brujita - I would never fuck around with a caiparinha, it's too perfect a drink to mess with, although vodka does sound interesting.
