Remember the summertime? For those not enjoying summer right now, we’ve got our memories of warmer times. To help remember those great times, we’ve got the suntan lotion. Oddly enough, this cocktail tastes really good if not too much like that of suntan lotion. It’s another novelty cocktail with flavors that will make you giggle. [...]
We are blessed throughout the year with great spirits, cocktails and accessories. Since our primary focus is reviewing “everyday drinking” equipment and spirits, we receive a lot of products to sit down and work with so we believe it’s time to build our holiday gift list. This list is good for the cocktail drinker, the [...]
The Pink “Kitty,” also goes by the recipe name Pink Pussy but we’re not exactly happy with the naming convention of the original recipe so we changed it. This is a beautifully looking cocktail which reminds us much of a margarita with a distinct citrus finish. The limón rum (Don Q in our case) hides [...]
The Cherry Tootsie Pop reflects its initial taste in the name but we’ve found it brings more of a nice midly sweet cocktail style to the table. Knowing the name, you’ll probably find the tootise pop taste in the cocktail but it’s a great stand-alone cocktail with the inclusion of Redbull. This gives you one [...]
Are you afraid yet? You should be. The Grateful Dead cocktail isn’t for the weak at heart, this cocktail brings the power, punch and influence of all its contents. The chambord influences the color while the alcohols influence the punch in the grill, prepare your senses for an odd ride of flavors. There are no [...]
Welcome to the second blind tasting on the show. This is the prototype “pilot” episoide for a spinoff show that focuses on the spirit themselves, not the cocktail. Jennifer and I bring on round-2, this time we’re tasting Bacardi (yesterday’s winner) against Don Q and Brave Spirits rum brands. Please note, as with yesterday, each [...]
Our second guest star, Reinhard, is helping us create the Honolulu Lulu recipe. This recipe is unique as it looks like and hints at being a tropical drink but the finish of the cocktail is much more coffee-like than sweet. Don Q was used for our rum styles but you can use your favorite rum, [...]
We’ve got our first international guest on the show, Oliver comes to us from Austria and he’s a huge cocktail fan. So, in order to “bless” him into the group, we’re creating the Scorpion Bowl cocktail. This is an exotic and extremely dangerous cocktail to say the least, a great deal of alcohol with tastes [...]
Rum, it’s the spirit of champions, most people love some form of rum and today we’re going to hit up a new flavor we’ve yet to try: Citrus. This Don Q Limón Rum recipe, Limón Madras, contains a small bit of ingredients and creates a unique drink that really messes with your sweet and sour [...]
The perfect Hawaiian drink, the Lava Flow. This drink is made up entirely of awesome. You’ve got great blended natural flavors, a thick consistency with enough rum to relax you on a hot day. We’re using Don Q rum again in this one, but you can use whatever you want. I’d suggest heading out and [...]
