ATOMIC COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Add the vodka, Cognac and sherry to a mixing glass with ice, and stir. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and top with the Champagne.

FRIED SHRIMP IN ATOMICOCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, flour, pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the shrimp and let it chill out in the fridge for at most 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven. Fit a sheet pan with a rack.
• In a wide shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, garlic, paprika, cayenne and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Working in batches, use tongs to transfer the shrimp from the buttermilk mixture to the breading mixture. Make sure the shrimp is completely coated. Holding the shrimp by the tails, gently drop into the oil, one at a time. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch, allowing the oil to return to 350 degrees F between batches. Transfer the shrimp to the prepared sheet pan. Keep the shrimp warm in the oven.
• Serve with the AtomiCocktail Sauce and lemon wedges.
• Mix the ketchup, horseradish, pepper, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and fish sauce in a bowl. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

ZOMBIE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Pour the rums and fruit juices into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake hard until the outside of the shaker feels really cold.
• Strain the mixture into a tall glass or hurricane glass filled with ice, then slowly pour in the grenadine to colour the drink.
• Skewer the orange wedge and cherries on a cocktail stick. Garnish the drink with mint sprigs and the skewered fruit.
