One thing that I always hear these days from the home mixologists is "I need a good three item cocktail". Here is an idea for one that might surprise you and won't break the budget either. I was fooling around yesterday with some Brugal Blanco extra dry white rum and found this to be a tasty and very simple cocktail. Either of the liqueurs will work fine, and cranberry cocktail will be a touch sweeter than the cranberry juice. Tailor it to your taste.
The Tree Item Cocktail
- 1 1/2 oz. Brugal Extra Dry White Rum
- 1 1/2 oz. Peach Schnaps or Apricot Brandy
- Top Up with Cranberry Juice or Cocktail
Place all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a Martini Glass and garnish with an orange zest.
It has some of the notes of a cosmo, but it is uniquely scrumptious. Try one of these, they are simple and tasty. ;o)
