Chairmans Reserve Rum – The Mai Tai

By
Mai Tai Recipe

The Mai Tai is one of the most famous Tiki cocktails in the world. It’s synonymous with vacations, Summer, and of course, the beach. Made famous in 1944 by Trader Vic, it’s gone on to spawn so many variations; the good, the bad, and the terrible. No matter which Mai tai recipe you’ve come across, hopefully along the drinking journey you experienced a proper one, but if you haven’t we’re sharing this mai tai recipe to get you on track for the Summer. This Mai tai features Chairmans Reserve Rum, one of my go-to rums in our liqua (not to be confused with liquor) cabinet.

MAI TAI

  •  1 oz. Chairman’s Reserve Rum
  • 1 oz. aged Rhum Agricole
  • ½ oz. Créole Shrubb (or other orange liqueur)
  • 1 oz. fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz. orgeat (almond syrup)

In a mixing glass, pour Chairman’s Reserve Rum, aged Rhum Agricole, Créole Shrubb, fresh lime juice, orgeat, sugarcane syrup over 2 cups of fresh crushed ice. Shake hard and pour unstrained into a double old-fashioned glass. Sink your spent lime shell in the drink, and garnish with a mint sprig.

Cheers!

Pineapple Mango Smoothies with RumChata

By
RumChata

 

We’ve blown right through the Summer didn’t we? It’s already August, and per usual, its scorching hot ending the Summer on a heat wave streak. So to beat the heat this week we’re whipping up some delicious RumChata based pineapple & mango Creamsicles. It’s kind of a like a smoothie kicked up a couple notches. I make a lot of smoothies both to save time and to get some much-needed fruit in my system. I actually stumbled on the non-alcoholic version of this drink while trying to use up the last of some frozen fruit and ice cream I had in the freezer.

You can make a bunch of variations of this, all you’ll need is ice cream (or yogurt), a fruit (or fruits) of your choice, and a type of dairy (or non-dairy) product to help it blend. Although I originally used frozen fruit, this time we’re using freshly cut pineapple and mango chunks, and because I typically don’t keep traditional milk in the house anymore, we’re using almond milk. We’ve been working with RumChata this year to see just how versatile it is at the bar and so far we’ve been impressed. Adding a little (or a lot) of RumChata makes this the perfect way to cool off at the pool this Summer and we think you’ll agree too. Check it out below and be sure to give it a try this weekend.

  • 4 oz RumChata
  • ½ a cup of pineapple chunks
  • ½ cup of mango chunks
  • 2 Scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
  • (Optional) Almond Milk (if you want it less thick)

Combine all your ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a chilled cup or mug and insert a straw.

RumChata Smoothie

Cheers,

Southern Citrus

Just in time for spring and summer, Jack Daniel’s Country Cocktails is announcing the release of it’s newest flavor, Southern Citrus. If you’re not familiar with them, country cocktails are ready to drink cocktails from the Jack Daniels brand. Back in college we use to love to grab these on our way to the beach for the non beer drinkers. Nobody wants to be whipping up messy drinks at the beach or even at the park so these are a good alternative. You can expect to see Southern Citrus hitting shelves early May around the U.S.. Here are some highlights from their press release:

“Friends of Jack Daniel’s Country Cocktails will have a new flavor to reach for this summer,” says Lisa Hunter, Jack Daniel’s Country Cocktails Brand Director. “For Southern Citrus, we used the ripe medley of citrus fruits to create the perfect summer drink for easy entertaining at home or enjoying during your favorite warm-weather activities .” 

Southern Citrus is a blend of grapefruit and citrus flavors combined with the classic Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey. Like the other 7 flavors (Black Jack Cola, Cherry Limeade, Berry Punch, Downhome Punch, Lynchburg Lemonade, Watermelon Punch, Southern Peach) it will be available in 10 oz 6 packs for a retail price around $8.

Banana Milk Coffee… With RumChata

By

A Banana Milk Coffee You NEED to TRY

This one’s for the coffee lovers. With Summer almost over, you’ll probably start to see the pumpkin invasion return to your favorite coffee shops. But before we make the switch, we’re still going bananas about a drink we tried this Summer called banana milk coffee. If you’ve never had it before, it’s somewhere between a banana milkshake and an iced coffee and it’s delicious. It’s a blend of milk, bananas, cold brew coffee, and simple syrup and it’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever had. After daydreaming (and drooling) about the last one I had, I felt inspired to whip up a boozy version that was fitting for Intoxicology.

A couple of weeks back, one of our readers emailed me and asked if I had any cocktail recipes that included both rum and tequila. When I started to think, I realized it’s not a lot outside of the Long Island Iced Tea and so that’s where the basis of this drink was born. Like the original, I started with milk, organic and whole. For the banana flavor, I went about it in two ways. I made this cocktail both as a frozen and non-frozen beverage. In the non-frozen, I simply added banana liqueur while choosing to add both fresh bananas and the liqueur in our frozen version. For the cold brew, we substitute Patron XO which is a delicious blend of premium tequila and coffee. Finally, my secret ingredient is RumChata, the Caribbean cream liqueur that works in just about anything you can think of.

Boozy Banana Coffee Milk (Regular)

Combine all ingredients in a chilled cup and stir.

Boozy Banana Coffee Milk (Frozen)

  • 4 oz Organic whole milk
  • 2 oz RumChata
  • 1 oz Patron XO
  • 1 oz Banana Liqueur
  • 1 Banana
  • Ice

Slice your banana and combine with all other ingredients and ice in a blender. Blend until desired consistency and pour into a chilled glass.

 

Cheers,

Intoxicology
