Killian's Irish Red, Harpoon Leviathan, North Coast and a custom home brew.
Exploring all there is about the beer people drink
An audio interview with Beam Global & Spirit's Master Mixologist, Bobby G.
As the back of the bottle reads, “Abuelo 7 Años is a rich blend of superb rums; aged for 7 years in carefully selected, small oak barrels.” The process of creating a rum is always intriguing but there is one part of the distillation process I enjoy most of all: drinking.
It’s time to mix another Perfect Pureé cocktail for our Tuesday festivities. The Spicy Rum Runner utilizes the Rum Runner puree and allows you to whip up some fast cocktails. Squeeze a few limes get yourself some quality spiced rum and it’s a party. People have asked me what goes into this “mysterious cocktail” and question me on the ingredients, after telling them it was a mix they wanted to know where to buy it.
This week we’re busting out some red ales and reviewing them up while going through a bit of what we’ve done this summer while away. The red ales in question include Killian’s Irish Red, Harpoon Leviathan Imperial Red, North Coast Red Seal Ale and a custom home brew.
The final blended cocktail for the week, we’re going with a slightly sour one this week, with a nice defined lemon flavor. We’ve got brandy and rum with some juices and orgeat syrup all blended in a chilly little cocktail, semi-tiki in nature just the cocktail to transition us into a week of tiki (coming next week).
A layered cocktail, pousse café, we’re building chambord, frangelico and Bailey’s Irish cream together. The layering technique used should be slightly different than we did in this video to avoid any clouding effects in the layer. However, the taste should be similar.
The Lash, a spiced rum with some aroma of cinnamon and spices. Nothing like sitting outside gathering in some of the suns rays while sipping on a spicy new rum brand
A spiced rum like this would definitely pair well with the sweetness of Coca Cola or used in a spiced rum recipe in which the cinnamon will work well (probably a cocktail without cinnamon schnapps.) The Lash Spiced Rum is 35% ABV and the spices in the bottle take a front seat with the rum being in the back seat for this ride.
We’re really enjoying the catdaddy product, for those that can gain some access to this I highly suggest it. At Tales of the Cocktail 2010 many folks had their first taste of Catdaddy and were surprised on how well it tastes (as typical “moonshine” products tend to be potent to the extreme).
The Midori Sour, a super delicious cocktail with a few variant recipes. Even Midori’s website has a different recipe design than the one found on their bottle! What that tells you is their are many fun flavors to experience with Midori’s product that all result in something great to drink. Here are a few recipes we’ve found, which will taste the best on your palate?
A super deliciouis tasting cocktail with a great sense of color. The After Sun Punch comes complete with great sips of thick pineapple goodness with secondary sips of coconut and banana with the thickness of a blended drink without the blender. Bright, happy, delicious.
