Strawberry Daiquiri!

Frankly, I've been blogging because the movie that Philippe and I are watching is extremely weird. We actually stopped it for a bit... now it's back on. Still weird.

The strawberry daiquiri is an other one of our classics! We make it every time Teena comes to our place (and requests it).

1 1/2 ounces light rum
1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur
2 ounces simple syrup
1 ounce fresh lime juice
5 strawberries

Blend all the ingredients with crushed ice and serve in a large goblet.
Garnish with a strawberry.

I have not found maraschino liqueur in massachusetts. I'm hoping that my upcoming trip to New Hampshire will turn some up. In the mean time I'm using a mix of amaretto and cherry liqueur.


Quite good.

Pina Colada!

This is an amazing recipe. I don't have a picture, but we make it quite regularly. I thought it was worth including our regulars.

2 ounces of light rum
6 ounces of pineapple juice
2 ounces of coconut cream
Crushed ice
Pineapple spear
Maraschino cherry

Put the ice, the rum, the juice and the cream in a blender and blend until uniform.
Put in cocktail class and decorate with pineapple and cherry.

Sake Cosmo!!!

Ben came over for dinner and brought us a good bottle of sake. Once he was gone we decided to try a sake cocktail. The sake cosmo appealed to us. Here's the recipe.

3 ounces of sake
1/2 ounces of Cointreau
1 ounce cranberry juice
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
Lime twist

Shake all liquid ingredients vigorously with ice.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Twist the lime peel over the drink, and drop it in.


This drink was GREAT! One of the best so far. (Well except the really well-known ones.)
