Bat Bite
The Mash Bill:
2oz Light Rum
1oz Creme de Framboise
2oz Cranberry Juice
1/2oz Lime Juice
The Work Order:
My Thoughts:
A sour, yet sugary drink with fruity berry flavours, not an exceptional cocktail, but far from horrible, refreshing on a hot day
French Raspberry Mint Daiquiri
The Mash Bill:
2oz Light Rum
1/2oz Chambord
1/2oz Lime Juice
1/2oz Simple Syrup
Mint Leaves
The Work Order:
My Thoughts:
The colour of the drink is fantastic, a translucent purple/pink, the taste is not much different, Mint and berries dominate the front palette while the rum hides until the mid-palette to show itself. The after taste consists of a deep rum flavour, and earthy mint.
Vienna Daiquiri
“An apple strudel in a cocktail glass”
The Mash Bill:
2oz Rum
1/3oz Simple Syrup
1/3oz Cinnamon Syrup
3/4oz Lime Juice
1/4 Apple
The Work Order:
My Thoughts:
I decided to try out my new Angostura 1919 rum, and well as the bottle of Havana Club Anejo Blanco I bought the other day, so I made this cocktail twice.
With the Havana (Cocktail recipe was found at Havana’s Website) the cocktail was smooth and had lots of juicy lime flavour, the rum was completely hidden, and considering that there was 2oz of it in there, that may not be a good thing! There was a hint of cinnamon in the aftertaste which was nice.
Using the Angostura 1919 there was a much deeper rum flavour to the drink, it wasnt as masked, however it was still smooth. I found that there was more of an apple note to this version.
Istanbul Daiquiri
“An Asian twist from the gateway to the East”
The Mash Bill:
1oz Rum
1/2oz Simple Syrup
1 1/2oz Lime Juice
2/3oz Orange Juice
1 Mandarin
The Work Order:
My Thoughts:
More on the sour side due to it having so much lime juice, next time I think I will reduce this to 1oz. The Citrus flavours do come through and add a nice dimension to the sourness. There is very little sign of alcohol in this cocktail, which is fantastic.
Even though it is sour, it is quite a smooth cocktail.
