Independance Day Cocktail Time

     When I think about a cocktail for the fourth of July, I think about three.  A Red, White and Blue cocktail, giving you three distinct flavors to choose from.

· 1 ½ oz. Vanilla Rum

· 1 oz. Spiced Rum

· ½ oz. Pomegranate Liqueur

The Blue Cocktail

 

 

· ½ oz. White Rum

· ½ oz. Blue Curacao

· 3/4 oz. Fireball

· ½ oz. Pineapple Juice

Place all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake until chilled, strain into a rocks glass and serve as a shot.

 

 

The White Cocktail

· 1 ½ oz. Abuelo 7 Year Old Rum

Try one of all of these fun fourth of July Cocktails for your patio party, they will bring things to life and refresh you on a warm afternoon.   Remember that the Fourth of July is to celebrate the independence of our country and a day for fun.  Keep you alcohol related fun off of the highways.  If you have had any to many, call a cab or get home by some means other than driving.  I like having my readers and don't want to loose any of you.  ;o)
