Cointreau, 1/4 oz. Benedictine, 1/2 oz. Lime Juice, 1/2 oz. Grenadine, 4 oz. Pineapple Juice, Dash of Angostura Bitters
A lemon and bourbon-like aroma and flavor. Smooth texture but a bit over the top on potency. The lemon vanilla oak flavor reminds me more of a bourbon than a cognac. A bit steep at USD $30 for the flavor profile.
A balanced melding of sweet coconut with smooth silver tequila, earthy agave tones with sweet coconut creaminess. Companies are beginning to realize we want to immerse ourselves in new flavor combinations and go beyond just a simple one-dimensional taste experience; yay for us!
Coconut with more coconut and a nice lemon flavor mingling within it. The recipe: 2 oz. Coconut Rum, 1 oz. Blue Curacao, 1/2 oz. Lemonchello (floated on top)

Smooth mouthfeel with a sweet citrus flavor not too unlike that of a lemon-lime soda with a zesty orange peel bite. The sweet flavors are not overdone and compliment the smooth medium-body mouthfeel with an overall natura citrus orange “peel” finish.
anilla, Vanilla and a bit more Vanilla with muted hints of dried apple, brown sugar and other sweet spices with a smooth rye whiskey body. A finish of very light white pepper, oak and more vanilla.
Common Man Cocktails observes Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of may. A battle over Puebla Mexico occurs on May 5th 1862 and a rag tag group defeats a larger French army equipped for battle with poor odds. A small victory that was, in the end, short-lived was a symbolic battle that changed people’s perspective.
May the forth be with you! Today, we’re busting out the Toxic Lime cocktail, this is a surprisingly tasty little sour recipe. The ingredients: 2 oz. Citrus Rum, 1 oz. Simple Syrup, 1 oz. Lime Juice, Fill with Lemon/Lime Soda, Dash of Midori, Dash of Blue Curacao
Rum with a spicy white pepper component, no big sweet spice flavor. Flavor start off dull and muted but move to a smooth rum mid-palate and end with a spicy pepper and caramel/vanilla finish. Mild oak but nothing huge.
Rich and sweet brown sugars mingled in oak, coffee, vanilla with a spicy kick including allspice, cinnamon and muted peppermint notes. This is what Captain Morgan Original aspires to become but falls short of the Black experience.
