Two more.

Just two mixings from Facebook this week,but they’re good’uns. Hope you enjoy them.

Mix #225 Coconut Doppelgänger

1.5oz coconut rum
1oz pineapple rum
1/2oz velvet falernum
1oz lime juice
1/4oz orgeat
1/4oz simple syrup
3 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake with ice and pour into glass.

I found this in Tiki Recipes on Facebook. It’s sweet with a coconut base and spice on the end. Very nice. It was apparently created for a German brand of rum. I can’t find their rum on this side of the Atlantic,but their recipe was good,so I’m guessing their rum isn’t bad either. If you’re in Europe you might want to give it a try.

Mix #226 Two Metres Apart Gets You One Step Closer To Paradise

2oz dark Jamaican rum
1/2oz amaro*
3/4oz falernum
1oz pineapple juice
1oz grapefruit juice
1/2oz lime juice
Angostura bitters

Shake with ice and pour into glass. Top with bitters and some grated nutmeg.

*See below.

The longest-named drink I’ve made,this was also found while perusing Tiki Recipes. It was created during COVID by the Shameful Tiki Room bars in Canada. It was intended to be made with an amaro such as Campari or Aperol,but the poster said it was very bitter,so I decided to swap in Disaronno. Mine turned out sweetish with some spice and a bit of tart on the end. Quite a nice drink. If you like bitter,then use the original amaro,otherwise my tweak will make it sweet. Or try both to see which you like best.

So that’s it for this installment. Halloween is just around the corner,so stay tuned for some spooky drinks. Aloha!
