Rum Daisy

Another addition to the very pleasant surprise from the first sip category ... the Rum Daisy. The grenadine makes this a gorgeous pink which would be a nice offering for a holiday drink now that I think of it! The only thing I changed was that Daisy drinks are traditionally served in a beer mug or metal cup. I couldn't bear to do that so went with a traditional cocktail glass. And without the ice cube. Rum Daisy 1/2 ounce lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar or simple syrup 1 teaspoon grenadine 2 ounces light rum Shake with ice and strain into chilled beer mug or metal cup. Add one large ice cube and garnish with fruit.

Bee's Kiss Cocktail

Something else to be thankful for ... perhaps when sipping it as an after dinner drink? Simply delicious and very simple. It is creamy, rich and powerful with a feel possibly reminiscent of Bailey's Irish Cream or a well-dosed eggnog. Bee's Kiss 1-1/2 ounce White Rum 1 ounce heavy cream 3/4 ounce Honey Syrup* Shake and strain into a champagne flute. (which I chilled quickly in the freezer while assembling) * To make Honey Syrup: Mix equal part of honey and warm water. Stir well until dissolved, and then chill.
