Time for dessert!
While waiting for the MxMo and the following Mai Tai rum combo posts i have this little dessert to squeeze in between, enjoy!
There were many many nice cocktails at last nights TDN (Thursday Drink Night at the Mixoloseum) which took off right after the garnish chat was over, A wrap up of the garnish chat and the TDN will soon be posted both here, at KaiserPenguin and the Mixoloseum blog. In the meantime i want to share the recipes of the 2 drinks that were my favorites of those i was able to make from this TDN.
The first is a drink made by Stevi at Two at the Most. The recipe calls for absinthe which i don`t have so i made it without, it was still very tasty.
THE KENTUCKY RUM RUNNER
1 oz dark rum
1 oz gold rum
1/2 0z Bourbon
1 oz grapefruit juice
1/2 oz honey-mix
2 dashes absinthe
Top with Ginger Beer
I used some Limequats here for garnish. Limequats look like some little mini limes, they are of course, a cross between kumquat and lime.
The next was a tropical dream..the Exotic Passion, recipe by Nathan:
EXOTIC PASSION
1 oz lime juice
1.5 oz passion fruit juice
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz ginger syrup
2 oz gin
Shake and strain.
And starting up with these two nice drinks i had of course to make a third, so i made up a little coconut punch with rhum agricole:
LE PUNCH
1.5 oz rhum agricole blanc
1 oz passionfruit juice
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz vanilla syrup
1 oz coconut milk
Blend with crushed ice.
This drink has a garnish i just tried so here is how to make it:
Use a channel knife and cut a long spiral around a third of the orange, then carefully slide the channel knife out from the spiral. Then cut a slice of the orange leaving the spiral attached. make a cut near the rind and place the wedge on the rim, then loosely wrap the spiral around the glass.
