Peligro

March 24, 2017 by Kevin Upthegrove

Spanish for "danger", the Peligro is a daiquiri made with the Lost Spirits Cuban inspired 151 rum, fresh lime juice, and falernum. Hear more about it in episode 37 and maybe try this instead of a vodka martini the next time you watch a Bond flick.

Cuba Kula

March 22, 2017 by Kevin Upthegrove

It's Wednesday, and near 9PM, so here's a toast to Ray Buhen, the Master Ninja of Tiki-Ti. The Cuba Kula, published by Jeff Berry in Sippin' Safari, is a Ray Buhen original from the 1930s. 2 oz of lime juice is a lot to contend with, so I used 1 oz of honey mix instead of 0.5 oz of straight honey and added 0.25 of demerara syrup. To Ray!

Bombo

March 15, 2017 by Kevin Upthegrove

From episode 67 of 5 Minutes of Rum, Bombo is another rum cocktail from ago. Rum and a little bit of sugar syrup (molasses and demerara are 2 such choices), dusted with nutmeg. Good basic experiment to try with different styles of rum. Skull sippy cup from Vantiki.
