Moonriver Bar #12 - Alligators and Crocodiles

8/27/2020

Today we're going to revisit my youth and share with you one of the first drinks I ever learned, and continue to enjoy!
  I first learned about this drink while visiting a friend in Maine, and it stuck with me.  However, it seems that very few people actually know about it.  When I ask for it, I'm often met with a confused look.  Luckily, it was burned into my memory, so every time I might order it I get to teach someone a new drink.  Also, in my responsible social gatherings, this was the drink of request for many of my friends; they knew I could mix it and it was downright delicious.

Sex With An Alligator / The Alligator Tail

Ordering this is often hilarious.  It usually comes out as "Could I have a Sex With An Alligator?"  The waitress would nod, walk away...then return after about five minutes and ask, "You want the drink, right?"  ...I didn't realize the alternative was an option?

The "Alligator" is a layered drink.  You are to pour each element in order, so as to build a certain aesthetic as well as the progression of flavors.


The Recipe I Learned
1. Midori (melon liqueur) - usually 2 oz
2. Pineapple Juice - 2 oz
3. Raspberry Liqueur (Razzmatazz or Chambord will work great) - 2 oz
4. Thin layer of Jagermeister - about 1/2 oz or less, depending on preference, floats on top

The visual effect...is a murky swamp.  Like the home of our favorite big scaly body of teeth.  
This is a shooter, approximately 3-4 shots total.  A little licorice at the front, then nothing but candy.  It sneaks up on you, though.  Make sure to respect the big green.


Want a little more orange in your drink?  Then you want my Crocodile variation.  Just switch out the Pineapple juice for Orange juice instead.

Other versions cite using Whiskey Sour mix, but that wasn't the tasty version I learned.  You want it?  Switch out the Pineapple juice for a Sweet and Sour mix, or the Whiskey Sour.  Go figure.

Shoot Responsibly.
