The Tropical tini is a slightly sweet tropical beverage with pineapple rum and vanilla vodka and a slight splash of orange juice. This drink is a pretty candy-like flavor of pineapple, if there was a tropical mildly sweet candy this would be it, the Tropical Tini!
The June Go Citrus Splash, a recipe from about.com that has both mango rum and pineapple rum. A nice tropical cocktail with pineapple and bright mango with hints of citrus and a little pontency in the finish. If you find it a bit potent, top some additional orange juice in the glass.
We’re finishing off our series of grapefruit cocktails with the Zombie Prince! This cocktail has both a gold and light rum while bringing out the grapefruit, lemon and orange juice. A sour cocktail with bite, sours and a nice rum flavor, the Zombie prince might be more fitting for those that like a subtle grapefruit that doesn’t go over the top.
This cocktail seems to be full of juices, but you still retain some of the flavors of tequila. The juices, combined, create a uniquely slight sour/tart taste while bringing some citrus and tropical notes. Granted, we did change the recipe a bit with too much Grenadine, but it gave a nice tequila sunrise like effect!
A slightly tropical appeal, the coconut and tequila bring you to the islands while the sweeter citrus notes of the lemon/lime soda and orange juice keep it light and refreshing. This cocktail might be a good introduction for those that don’t like the potency of a “big” tequila drink.
It’s time to get refreshing, we’re busting out the New Amsterdam gin and bringing in some Orange Juice and Ginger ale with a hint of lime to add some complex tasting experiences. A great cocktail for someone looking to expand their gin recipe selection while cooling off on a warm day. New Amsterdamn was the direction we went, but we encourage you to use your favorite gin.
A true spring cocktail, design specifically to highlight spring and the Bols Genever product line. We took this recipe from a mixologist and made it common man style, yet you’ll still need to pickup a bottle of Bols Genever if you want to give this a try as we’re tasting it here. However, plenty of great spirits may work in conjunction to these fresh fruits.
A bourbon and peach schnapps drink with nice light carbonation of lemon/lime soda (sprite). The largest component is definitely the orange juice, which brings a juicy citrus backbone with a nice light oak finish. This cocktail definitely pairs well with the Jim Beam White Label brand.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Today we’re not going green–we’re going gold baby! This is the drink at the end of the rainbow, utilizing Irish Whiskey. We’ve got some ginger ale, a hint of orange juice and a nice sweet peach schnapps.
We’re focusing on an unsung hero: Apricot Brandy. WIth the nice thickness of a shaken orange juice to the sweet apricot tastes all arounded out with a bit of sweet & sour mix really builds a delicous beverage. While it can be enjoyed all year, I can see this being a great cocktail for sitting [...]
