In a blender, put in two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of your favorite vodka, four ounces of grape juice and a cup of ice that has been crushed. Blend the mixture until it is smooth. Pour the daiquiri into glasses that have been chilled for the best taste.
Devilish Brew
In a cocktail shaker, combine three-quarters of an ounce of light rum, three-quarters of an ounce of gin, two teaspoons of lemon juice, two teaspoons of triple sec and ice. Mix well and strain into a glass that has been previously chilled.
The Howling Drink
