August: Outdoor Cocktail Time

     August is the warmest month of the year and a perfect time to get the blender out on the patio and make some of those fun frozen cocktails.   The Pina Colada, Bushwacker, or Frozen Daiquiri all seem to pop out of most people's mind, but today I want to explore something different.

     I'm thinking of an original concoction we came up with last year in the Rum Lab that was an instant hit and continues to be.  I keep seeing people with their con leche's on facebook and other places so I thought that a frozen boozy con leche would be in order.


Bahama Bob's Frozen Con Leche  

  •  1 1/2 oz. Brinley's Shipwreck Coffee Rum
  • 1 oz. of Dark Crème de Cocoa
  • 1 oz. Amaretto
  • 1 oz. Half and Half
  • Pinch of Apple Pie Spice
Place all ingredients in a blender with a cup and a half of ice.  Blend until smooth and serve in a pint glass garnished with fresh ground nutmeg.

   This will cool you off and put a real fun smile on your face this afternoon.   ;o)
