More?

I've been continuing to try out new drinks, but haven't blogged them. Is anyone interested in me continuing to blog them?

Painkiller

from Beachbum Berry Remixed

4 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
1 oz orange juice
1 oz Coco Lopez (sweetened coconut cream) (I used Coco Real)
2.5 oz Pusser's Navy Rum or dark Jamaican rum (I used Myers's Ubiquitous Dark)
Powdered cinnamon
Ground nutmeg

Shake juices, coconut, and rum with plenty of crushed ice. Pour unstrained into a tall glass or Tiki mug. Dust with cinnamon and nutmeg. Garnish with [stuff I didn't use].

Super yum! Tropical fruity with rum, nuff said.

Passion Daiquiri

from Mr. Boston (Platinum Edition)

1.5 oz light rum (10 Cane)
1 oz lime juice
1 tsp simple syrup
1 T passion fruit syrup

Shake with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

This one was also a bit sour. Ben has suggested that the passion fruit syrup is a bit tart, so I may up the simple syrup or reduce the lime/lemon on my next attempt. Otherwise yummy and refreshing.

Banana Cow

from Mr. Boston (Platinum Edition)

1 oz. light rum
1 oz. creme de banana
1.5 oz. half & half
1 dash grenadine

Shake with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

It was tasty. It was good as it was. The pink color was a little surprising, but I think I used too much grenadine.

Hurricane

I promised drink recipes, so here we go!

from Beachbum Berry Remixed

Hurricane


2 oz lemon juice
2 oz passion fruit syrup
4 oz dark Jamaican rum (I used Gosling's Black Seal Bermudan Rum)

Shake with crushed ice. Serve in hurricane glass.

Not bad, a bit tart, with interesting swirly caramel flavors. I'm going to try doubling the syrup and halving the lemon juice next time. Oh, and I quartered the recipe, by the way, and used cubes out of laziness. Next time, I'll make a half recipe, I think, and use crushed ice.
