Holiday Weekend: Time for a New Patio Cocktail

    With the weather hot and sultry, it is time to hit the patio or the boat for a great
chilled out Fourth of July holiday.   I've been playing around in the Rum Lab again and I've come up with a couple of ideas that I think you might enjoy over the holidays.  I'm thinking about a creamy cocktail and a one with some coffee notes.  Anyway, here is what I have come up with for you to give a try this week and anytime you find the urge to.

     First is a morning cocktail as a wake up and chill idea.




Keys Morning Coffee

• 1 oz. Matusalem 15 Year Old Gran Reserva
• 2 oz. Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao
• 1 1/2 oz. Brinley Gold Coffee Rum

Pour all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake until chilled and pour into a chilled cocktail glass and serve.

Selvarey Alexander

• 2 oz. Matusalem 15 year Old Gran Reserva
• 2oz. Selvarey Cacao Rum or Marie Brizard's Chocolat Royal
• 2 oz. Half and Half

Pour all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake until chilled and pour into a chilled cocktail glass and serve with a strawberry garnish.

     Enjoy the cocktails and have a great Fourth of July Holiday.  ;o)
