This weeks return of cocktail of the week comes with one of my favorite fruity summer drinks to sip on. Great choice for get together as well for relaxing on a summer afternoon and with summer almost over, this would be a great time to take advantage of it. This recipe is actually my adaptation of a recipe courtesy of one of Hawaii’s hottest mixologists, Amie Fujiwara. I personally like a bit stronger taste in my drinks, feel free to use my version, the original, or make it to YOUR taste.
Afternoon Delight:
2 oz Absolut Mandarin (Original recipe calls for 1 1/2 oz)
1 oz Passion Fruit
1 oz Cranberry
1/2 oz Sweet n Sour (Original recipe calls for 1 oz)
1 tsp Passion Fruit concentrate
2 slices of Lime
3 Slices of Orange
Splash of Seven up
Muddle two slices of orange and the two slices of lime in a mixing glass. Then add your ingredients; vodka, juices, sour mix and concentrate. Shake and then pour into a either a Martini glass or a Collins glass, your choice. Top off with your 7 up and garnish with your last slice of orange. Enjoy.
…..It’s pretty hot out there. But with the weekend just hours away it’s a good time to cool off with some punch…for adults. Nothing says summer like a good punch and some coconut rum. Here’s a fun recipe to try courtesy of our friends at Malibu rum company. Cheers to the weekend.
