One of my favorite mixed drinks is "Mudslide". Here's the breakdown on this drink (adjust the proportions according to your pleasure):
-1/3rd Vodka
-1/3rd Bailey's Irish Cream (or a cheaper imitation)
-1/3rd Kahlua
Stir it well with ice, in a martini shaker if you have one, and you got a great drink in your hands.
Drink: Fuzzy Navel
the mix:
-1/3rd Vodka
-2/3rds Peach Schnaps
Stir it well with ice, in a martini shaker if you have one, and you got a great drink in your hands.

A general rule in mixing heavy drinks with sodas:
Clear spirits such as Vodka and Gin are good with clear sodas such as 7up and Sprite.
For darker spirits such as whiskey and rum, go with colas such as Coke or Pepsi.
As usual, there are no rules, try mixing and see what suits you.

udhaya,
back to the basics...
What is an exact description of a cocktail?
I have seen some cocktail drinks available 'readymade' in shops :)
and it is recommended by 'drinkers' that kahlua and tequila be taken as a shot..what are your ideas on that? and one more... if it is to be taken as shots, how do you take it?
awaiting,
Your fellow poet-drinker.... :)

Today I ordered the 'mudslide' in a restaurant and it was a mixture of Kahlua , vanilla ice cream and Hershey's chocolate syrup only!

Aside from the sexual insinuations, cocktail means mixed drinks--mixing of strong alcohol with other spirits, sodas or juices.
Your restaurant mudslide was a blasphemy. Drink some vodka quickly to wash your mouth.

Forgot this one for the holidays. Try mixing equal portions of Rum and Eggnog. It's awesome. Rum kindles while Eggnog coats and soothes the stomach. A very safe bet at parties if you're one prone to doing unsafe things.

Actually strictly speaking, a cocktail is a combination of only alcoholic ingredients. where as a mised drink includes non-alcoholic ingredients

I have had mudslides at about 80 different locaations, and non of them contain vodka, and none of the three bartending books I have have it in the recipe. Also, the first definition of cocktail was correct, the second was not. In order to be a cocktail, a drink has to have at least two ingredients (usually three) and at least one must be non alcoholic. Just fyi.

To answer the question from Auzz, Mountain Dew is a disgusting mixture of sugar, caffeine, something that passes for citrus flavor and carbonated water. It is sold to teenagers who are fooled into buying it through an enourmous ad campaign. It contains more chemicals than New Jersey and is about as healthy as smoking.
I think if spirits need to be diluted in a sweet solution, they are not very good spirits in the first place. When I was in college, I drank Southern Comfort in cranberry juice. In law school it was just the liqueur without the juice. Now the thought of it is revolting and I wonder how anyone can stand it. I was about to try Gentleman Jack, a Tennessee whiskey, the other day. I took a whiff it and it smelled like pancake syrup. For those who do not know, Tennessee whiskey is similar to Bourbon (in this case a sickly sweet Bourbon) except that the liquor is filtered through charcoal to render it mild tasting.
Here is my suggestion for a mixed drink: a James Bond vodka Martini.
1.5 fl. oz. of a good quality grain vodka like Absolut or Stolichnya.
.75 fl. oz. Martini extra dry vermouth, a white wine fortified with bitter herbs,
Add to ice shaker, shake well, strain into Martini glass. Add olive or pickled onion.
Other suggestions.
neat vodka--When served neat, vodka should be served a freezing temperatures. Just stick the whole bottle in the freezer. It will not become solid. Serve in a shot glass with the rim salted. Russians often drink it with a pickle. Again, use a good grain vodka, not that cheap crap made from potatoes.
Wild Turkey neat-- It's perfect the way it is. Down the whole ounce at once. It will leave a pleasing woody smell in your nose and throat. Wild Turkey is Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Straight means that is at least 50% distilled maize-corn. It is similar to Scotch except that it is aged in new, oaken barrels with charred interiors. (That is where it gets its dark color).
Scotch and water. Scotch consists of distilled grains aged in used oaken barrels left over from the production of Sherry, wine or Bourbon. Single-malt Scotch often has a noticeable smokey smell caused by drying the malt over peat moss fires. Water is usually added to Scotch because it helps release those woody aromas and flavors. Adding single-malt Scotch to sweet mixers like ginger ale or Coke is a crime against humanity. Useful fact: Scotch will not cause hang-overs.

i want to create a pink drink, something wonderfully sweet and potent as hell.
However, i want to find another spirit or something, god knows what, to swirl through it and it is able to suspend through the alcohol... does that make sense? So basically i end up with a martini glass filled with pink whatever, and swirled through is another substance which is just sitting through it... any ideas?

If you add use an onion instead of an olive, it is no longer a Martini. It is a Gibson.
