The R-A-M
You’ll feel the California Sunshine in this twist on the Old Fashioned made with Rum, Angostura, and maple syrup!
Tools:
- Bar spoon
- Cocktail mixing glass (a pint glass works in a pinch!)
- Hawthorne strainer
- Lighter
- Rocks glass
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces Dos Maderas PX 5+5 rum
- ½ ounce maple syrup
- 2-3 dashes angostura bitters
- Orange peel for garnish
Steps:
- Place one king cube, or 2-3 ice cubes in a rocks glass
- Combine all liquid ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice
- Stir for 20 seconds, and strain into the rocks glass
- Hold the lighter just above the glass with the orange peel in your other hand, orange side towards the flame. When you give the peel a quick squeeze the fruit’s essential oils should shoot out towards the flame, creating a small burst of fire! Give the lip of the glass a quick wipe with the peel and then drop it in.
Black and Orange
If your more of a Ben-Gal (or Ben-Guy), this striped libation might just become your new favourite!
Tools:
- Pint glass
- Bar spoon
Ingredients:
- ½ can Guinness
- ½ can Magners Original Irish Cider
Steps:
- Tilt the glass at 45 degrees and slowly pour the cider, filling the glass half way and trying to avoid any foam
- Set the glass down, and hold an inverted spoon over the top
- Gently pour the Guinness over the spoon. The beer should settle on top of the denser cider, and you’ll have a unique two-tone bevie!
