Mixed drink recipes

For whatever reason, I seem to be good at making drinks that creep up on those who partake. In honor of
mhg's character Steve, I whipped up a little something that I call the Smooth Criminal.
1/4 cup (60 ml) crème de banana
1/8 cup (30 ml) amaretto
1 tsp (5 ml) dark crème de cacao
1 tsp (5 ml) hazelnut syrup
Pour over 3 or 4 ice cubes, saving syrup for last; stir. The color should resemble that of amber or ginger (ha). Just look at Steve's fur. That'll be about what you're shooting for. I'd use gold rum if I had it, and that would probably take out the need for the crème de cacao if I did.
Coming up with one for Bob will be tougher...
EDIT: I guess not! Behold, the Neon Nuisance. This is, fittingly, a shot.
1 tbsp (15 ml) blue curaçao
1-1.5 tsp (5-8 ml) milk (I used 1% myself)
1 tbsp (15 ml) whipped cream
1/2 tsp (2-3 ml) grenadine, pomegranate schnapps or crème de fraise (your choice; they're all good.)
Pour the curaçao and milk into a shot glass -- should be about a shade of blue that I can only describe as electric pastel. If the alcohol seems a bit strong, by all means, use a fattier milk or cream, but that will alter the color.
On a separate dish, combine the whipped cream and final ingredient of your choice until the cream turns a shade of pink (for the inside of his ears). Scoop atop the shot glass and enjoy.
