Hello, dear readers.
After failing to find a camping site on Friday after work, and I returned to Mathom House for a 3-day weekend to ourselves.
We worked in the yard today and then walked to Edgefield, a local McMenamin’s joint. After walking back we settled for a after drink drink in the Monkey Hut.
There I made a Cesar’s Punch (for the first time – rather complex for the simple ingredients) from Intoxica. I then decided to try at a concotion of my own.
I deditcate this one to , who I seem to missing much as of late. Marin and Rebecca would have made the evening perfect in the monkey hut. We never seem to spend enough time outside of events and extraneous plans.
So, here, Maritn, is my latest concoction. (Blair, please try as well) Let me know what you think, and what you would change/alter. I’d love the feedback.
I call it:
“The Deceiver”
1oz Lime Juice
3/4oz Orange Juice
1/2oz Falernum
1/4oz Orgeat
1/4oz Simple Syrup
1oz Pyrat XO Rum
1oz Gold Jamaican Rum
1oz Jolly Roger White Rum (or other ‘harsh’ white – Puerto Rican would work)
—
Shake and pour into collins glass filled with crushed ice, garnish with marachino cherry + pineapple.
___________________________
I think it’s still a work in progress. It has a nice smoothness that is good; I’d like to keep that. Still, I think taking out the gold and putting in a dark would add another flavour area ‘missing’. I thought also adding 1oz of high-proof and 1oz of Pineapple would put it more in the Zombie realm. It also may be good as it stands.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend
