The Cocktail bar - The Tadam

This one is a drink I invented.

I worked bar for 3 years at Mary Gilhooley's in Lismore, NSW, and 2 of my regs are lactose intolerant (I say are, because as far as I know, they haven't ceased to be lactose intolerant), and one is allergic to oranges. Add to that, the other one also doesn't like coffee (the flavour of it), and I was limited in the super-girly-cocktails these too manly men could drink. (Yeah, it was two blokes, but they always drank things like Breezers - I used to open their bottles, pour it into the prettiest cocktail glass I could, and add an umbrella)

So, my patented recipe for the Tadam (I'll explain the name underneath the recipe).

• 1 hurricane glass
• 1 shot Chambord
• 1/2 shot Absolut Vanilia
• 1/2 shot Absolut Raspberri
• Cranberry juice
• Lime segments
• Ice

1. Muddle lime in glass
2. Add liqueurs in order
3. Add enough ice to fill glass
4. Top with cranberry juice

Non alcoholic version

• Hurricane glass
• Lime
• Ice
• Pineapple juice
• Cranberry juice
• Pink grapefruit juice

1. Muddle lime
2. Add ice
3. Add equal parts of all juices

Now for how it got its name.

My real name is Tanya (Yeah, I know. All this time, you actually though it was InfoxicatingLady, right? :P ), and one of the regs, for whom I invented this lovely OMG! This Will Get Me Plastered Drink is Adam. Doesn't take a genius from there, does it?
