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.
Rhum arrangé banana, chocolate and vanilla
*Edited 21/8/2014:
This recipe has failed, read why here.
Following with my recent experiments in Rhums Arrangés, I wanted to try a combination that I saw a few months ago produced by Cédric Brément: the rum called Punch Au Rhum Banane Cacao.
Thinking about it, I remembered an infused rum that I did a few years ago with a recipe extracted from the Beachbum Berry Remixed called Chocolate & Vanilla Infused Rum, and I thought that it could be great adding the banana…and yes, I’ve tried it!!!!
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.
The Black Tot Day 2014
Rhum arrangé apple, vanilla and cinnamon
In a recent day trip to the south of France, I bought some rhum agricole of Martinique and I was tempted from the first moment to follow working on the rhum arrangés. My first experience was a rhum arrangé sugar cane, vanilla and raisins and now I want to try some more fruity and because I was able to pick some apples directly from the tree…I wanted to do something with apple…and what could work well with apples? Of course: Cinnamon.
Spicy Caribbean Sunset
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
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.
Rhum arrangé sugar cane, vanilla and raisins
One of my hobbies is make experiments related with the mixology. After a long time working on experiments about bitters, I tried a new thing: rhum arrangé.
Black Presidente
To continue using my dear Blackstrap rum I was thinking about some options or twists where I could use this kind of rum.
