We have a Monday Night Football double header tonight, and we do not live by beer alone. David Rudd is the Assistant Store Manager at our Woodbridge location, and he is also our resident mixologist. He suggests these end-of-summer cocktails to help us with the change of seasons.
Caribena
Now is the time to snatch the last few moments of summer and milk them for all they’re worth. This cocktail will help. Combine 2 oz of Puerto Rican white rum (Bacardi™ Superior is a perfect choice), 4 oz coconut water, ¼ oz each simple syrup and fresh lime juice in an iced cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Squeeze a lime wedge into the drink and drop it in the glass. The tangy sweetness will help you ease your way into autumn…
Rum Old-Fashioned
Experimenting with classics is fun. Try switching out the foundational spirit in one of your favorites. In this twist on an old-fashioned, using rum and a roasted pineapple syrup, you almost feel like a very erudite pirate. 2 ½ oz of dark rum (I like the Lost Spirits Navy Rum), 2 tsp of roasted pineapple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura™ bitters stirred together with ice. For the syrup: cube pineapple and bake at 400F for 30 minutes. Transfer to a large pot and add 2 ½ cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain and cool. Keeps for up to a week. Now, walk the plank.
