There's 365 days in a year, and a cocktail for each one.
Having made two different cocktails with the Zacapa so far, we decided it was about time to create something a little more simple. You see, having drank the Zacapa neat, there are some excellent notes and complexities in the rum’s flavor. While the other mixed drinks have been good, our biggest complaint is that the […]
We’re looking to the Zacapa Rum website for some inspiration this evening. Zacapa Estilo Viejo 2 oz Ron Zacapa 2 dashes Angostura bitters 1 dash orange bitters Simple syrup to taste Combine all the ingredients in a rocks glass filled with ice. Stir and serve.
We’re going to try and break this ungoldy heat with a mid-August blueberry based cocktail. Full credit for this recipe goes to theKitchn. This is one hell of a crowd pleaser. 2 oz Ron Zacapa 1 tablespoon brown sugar Fresh juice from one lemon Fresh blueberries Ginger ale to top Take a rocks glass and fill […]
We’ll sing any song about the sea, or about drinkin’ rum, or about being at sea when ye’d much rather be ashore drinkin’ rum with pretty lassies who’re also drinkin’ rum. After two bottles in a row knocking down vodka, we’re taking something a bit heavier and hitting a bottle that if you indulge too much could […]
January 6, 2011 (Day 283) — Kismet Kismet is a couple of different things, really. By definition, kismet is destiny. It’s also a Broadway show. It’s Arabic in origin, with heavily implications that kismet is the allocation of one’s lot in life. Kismet 2 oz Malibu Black 3 oz pineapple juice 1 oz orange liqueur […]
January 5, 2012 (Day 282) — Dark ‘n Windy We’ve already touched upon the ability of Malibu Black’s ability to adjust for the popular Dark ‘n Stormy cocktail. This one is just a bit different, however, as we’re upping the alcohol content and changing the flavor majorly. Dark ‘n Windy 1.5 oz Malibu Black Champagne […]
January 4, 2012 (Day 281) — Coconut Rum Swizzle We’re going to go ahead and up the complexity a bit for today’s cocktail. You’ll need a nice long list of ingredients for this one. This is based of the classic rum swizzle, which is sure to be found in any number of books and websites […]
January 3, 2012 (Day 280) — Malibu Brewery Occasionally we’ve talked about the mystical world of “Beertails.” Beertails, you see, are cocktails that feature beer as the main ingredients. Now, this is much harder than it sounds, as beer is such a complex type of drink that to able to find the proper ingredients to […]
January 2, 2012 (Day 279) — Storm Clouds Today’s drink is a slightly altered Dark n’ Stormy; one of our favorite summer drinks to make. The coconut flavor of the black rum gives it some more complex notes, making it an excellent sipping drink. Storm Clouds 3 oz Malibu Black Rum 1 oz lime cordial […]
January 2, 2012 — Malibu Black We’ve covered the traditional Malibu Coconut Rum on these pages in the past. Malibu Black is essentially an older, more mature version of the original Malibu.
