Instructions

My name is Samson Morfaw. I am a Coctail bartender working at nights for the last 20 years in various discos, nightclubs, pubs and cocktail lounges in a delicious university town in northern Italy called Bologna. Exchange students from all over the world pile up in this city every year and often end up in my whereabouts craving for a ton of fun. Hence I have been captain of many many many Lock Ins! During the many of the lock ins in the various places where I have worked, lets say between 2004 and 2008, All sorts of cocktail experimentations thanks to drunken "guinea pigs" have been carried out and tested to sober regulars days after. Finally The Magic Sam Cocktail has been completed. Guaranteed to satisfy even the most sophisticated palate. Strong and just.

In a rock glass 11 3/4 oz. fill with ice. Squirt in a dash of Banana and Strawberry syrub in any order. (slightly more Strawberry in order to give the drink an almost Cosmopolitan fuchsia color after shaken later) Pour in approximately less than 1/3 of the glass with Vodka of any brand. Next add approximately less than 1/4 of the glass with Tanqueray Gin (or any other Gin). 1/5 of Cointreau next and 1/6 0f Peachtree (Peach schnapps) and the alcoholic content is complete. The remaining space to almost fill the rim involves equal splashes of Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice and Melon Juice. Shake all with a shaker and then reverse back the whole shaken stuff back into the rock glass. A sliced Kiwi tucked over the rim and two tall straws and damn...thats a hell of a MAGIC SAM!!!!!

About Magic Sam

The Magic Sam cocktail is a vibrant and fruity concoction, perfect for those who enjoy a symphony of flavors in their drink. This cocktail combines a base of vodka and gin, providing a strong yet smooth foundation. The addition of orange liqueur and peach schnapps introduces a sweet, citrusy, and slightly tangy profile, while a splash of sweet and sour mix balances the sweetness with a touch of tartness. The cocktail is further elevated by the refreshing combination of orange and pineapple juices, which add a tropical flair. A splash each of banana and strawberry syrup infuses the drink with a delightful fruitiness, making it a visually appealing and mouthwatering choice for any festive occasion.

The history of the Magic Sam cocktail is somewhat shrouded in mystery, much like many modern cocktails that have emerged from the vibrant bar scenes of recent years. Named perhaps for its almost magical blend of flavors or as a homage to a charismatic bartender, the cocktail has gained popularity for its ability to transport the drinker to a tropical paradise with just one sip. While it may not have the storied past of some classic cocktails, the Magic Sam's charm lies in its playful and adventurous spirit, making it a favorite at parties and gatherings where fun and flavor are the main attractions.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Highball Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
