The Bitter Jamaican

in Cocktails on August 29, 2014 February 17, 2019 0

Taking a look inside the cocktail book Left Coast Libations, in the chapter about the city of San Francisco, I found an interesting recipe of the bartender Yanni Kehagiaras called The Bitter End. Automatically, I needed to do it…but I wanted to make a twist on the rums…the recipe calls for a Flor de Caña Aged White 4 years rum, and I used the Rum Nation Jamaica White Pot Still. Also, I changed the Angostura Bitters for a Jerry Thomas Own Decanter Bitters and the Velvet Falernum for Homemade Falernum. I doubled the amount of juices in the recipe.

Pot Still Punch #2

On the past post, I made a review of the Rum Nation Jamaica White Pot Still Limited Edition 2014 and also published the recipe of the tiki drink Jasper’s Jamaican. Today, I’m still tasting that fantastic rum on cocktails and I think the best way is creating a new tiki recipe for the occasion.

Lenina

Lenina is a cocktail that our friend Mauri Jiménez shares with us, this is his new creation presented to the cocktail competition Putting Pen to Shaker 2014 presented by The Poshmakers.

This is a cocktail with tiki inspiration because he compares “The Reserve” with Polinesia. This drink receives the name for one of the protagonists of the book “Un Mundo Feliz” (Brave New World) written by Aldous Huxley.

Navy Coco Cola

Yes, I love the pineapples. Every day I eat about a half of a fresh pineapple for breakfast.

The other day, I was thinking about that I’ll drink a rum cola after dinner while I was cooking, and when I was hollowing a pineapple preparing it for the morning breakfast an idea comes to me…and I reserve the hollowed pineapple on the fridge.

My friend Mauri Jiménez send me a new cocktail creation to share with all the Three of Strong readers, there’s a very good drink with two Plantation rums, citrus juices and the caribbean touch of our beloved Falernum.

The Perfect Storm

in Cocktails on July 13, 2014 February 17, 2019 0

Yes, this is really a Dark & Stormy, the Bermuda’s national drink…but because of the trademark of this recipe by Gosling’s, if we want to call it Dark & Stormy we have to make it with Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and Gosling’s Stormy Ginger Beer…and what happens if this rum or this ginger beer dislikes us?Or if we prefer another rums or ginger beer brands? The thing what happens is what I call The Perfect Storm: The Dark & Stormy for people who wants to make the things on their way.

To continue using my dear Blackstrap rum I was thinking about some options or twists where I could use this kind of rum.

Three Dots and a Dash

Reading the Beachbum Berry’s Sippin’ Safari I found an interesting classic tiki drink: Three Dots and a Dash.

In my recent visit to Ron Montero Distillery they share with us a recipe created by their founder Francisco Montero: the Palito de Ron.

Blackstrap Special

in Cocktails Tiki on June 15, 2014 February 17, 2019 0

This recipe is my own twist of a drink of the 50s: the Bourbon Special, featured at Steve Crane’s Kon-Tiki restaurant chain. This tiki drink was created for Bourbon drinkers…and I used it like inpiration to make a drink based on the Cruzan Blackstrap Rum, a totally black colored rum with a strong flavour of molasses and liquorice. I love that rum combined with ginger beer, and I think that this recipe with some modifications could work…and I think that I wasn’t wrong.
