FRIDAY COCKTAIL - THE HURRICANE!


The Hurricane became popular at Pat O'Brien's bar in 1940's New Orleans. According to legend it debuted at the 1939 World's Fair and the rest is history. O'Brien created the heavy "rummed" version to get rid of a large stock of rum his Southern distributors made him buy.

2 oz light rum
2 oz dark rum
2 oz passion fruit
1 oz orange juice
juice of half a lime

Mix all in a blender with ice and - of course - serve in a big Hurricane glass!

STAY SAFE EVERYONE!
ENJOY!

FRIDAY COCKTAIL - 3 SHOT FRIDAY!



I have noticed a new trend in the bar scene lately..that in itself is scary...remember the peanut butter and jelly shot? Bartenders on their slow moments tend to look at "the inventory" and start mixing concoctions in shot glasses to try to come up with the flavors we all remember. So at one of our recent visits to a local joint...we got an Oatmeal Cookie shot, Green Tea shot and the best of all Key Lime Pie shot....here goes..pretty much the ingredients are equal amounts of each liquor unless listed, but adjust to your taste....



Oatmeal Cookie

1 oz Butter schnapps

1 oz Hot Dam cinnamon schnapps

1 oz Baileys

* tastes jut like an oatmeal cookie----seriously!


Green Tea

1 oz Jameson Whisky

hint of sour apple pucker

1 oz gingerale

* a little heavy but Rachel you would love this


Key Lime Pie

1 oz Midori

1 oz Vanilla Vodka

1 oz Malibu Rum

hint of Rose's lime juice

squirt of whipped cream (YES)

*My Favorite...tastes just like the pie...could drink a whole glass of this...maybe I did????


3 SHOT FRIDAY!
ENJOY!
