Fallen Space Station: Orbiting Debris from the Skylab Crash
Let's Get Shaky with a High-Proof Rum Cocktail
- Serving Size: 1 drink
- Difficulty: A breeze, even for a rookie bartender
- Time to Prepare: Hurry up, it'll take you less than 5 minutes
Ingredients (8)
- 1 ounce of that firewater, 151-proof rum (no slackers allowed)
- 1 ounce of blue curaçao (just a dash of the exotic)
- 1/2 ounce of apricot brandy (to sweeten the deal)
- 1 ounce of freshly squeezed orange juice (for a tangy kick)
- 1 ounce of unsweetened pineapple juice (tropical vibes, baby)
- 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice (adds a citrusy zing)
- 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar or simple syrup (just a touch of sweetness)
- Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry (cause why not, it's a party in a glass)
Instructions
- Give your hurricane glass or large glass a chill. You'll be dealing with a powerful concoction, after all.
- Stir together the rum, curaçao, brandy, orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and sugar over ice like a boss.
- Slide the orange slice and maraschino cherry onto the rim to finished off the look.
Inspiration from the minds of Mixologists, most notably Tony Nettleton.
Insider Facts:The "potent mix" you're about to enjoy could be a classic Rum Swizzle, Bermuda's national drink, or the Hurricane from New Orleans. Or maybe, if you're after something extra strong, the 151 Swizzle, popularized by Don the Beachcomber in the 1930s, is what you're after. No matter your choice, it's gonna be a potent, tropical experience! [4] [3]
- For added nutrition, consider swapping the superfine sugar with a pineapple-infused li honey for a touch of natural sweetness in your Rum Cocktail.
- This High-Proof Rum Cocktail yields approximately one drink, making it an ideal recipe for those seeking a potent, tropical experience with a hint of exotic flavors.
- To ensure the best texture, follow the instructions for combining the ingredients and garnish, as pineapple chunks or a rough sugar rim might affect the consistency of the drink.
