Do you think I chose this drink based simply on the fact that I had each ingredient already on our makeshift bar? DO YOU THINK I CARE WHAT YOU THINK? Ah yes, surprisingly, it turns out I DO care a great deal what people think. Would like to be liked even. SPENT WAY TOO MUCH TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE JUST FAKING LIKE I DIDN'T.
So, therapy aside. Here's the recipe:
Beachcomber:
1 1/2 ounce light rum
1/2 ounce triple sec
1/2 ounce grenadine
1 ounce sour mix
ice
No I did not measure but now, reading this, I realize I followed the recipe pretty well. For instance, grenadine is delicious. LOTS of grenadine is gross.
This drink turns out tasting something like a cherry lemonade. It probably (is named BEACHcomber after all) is a summertime drink but as I perused the world wide web the other day, I stumbled upon it and kept looking at our bar. Rum? Check. Triple Sec? Check. At first I considered it a little friendly nod from God, like, tough week? Here, let me hand you a recipe whose ingredients you already have ALL OF. But my second thought was the realization that...we have a bar. With an increasing amount of mixers.
Truthfully though, there is something so nice about having a designated night for cocktails. We usually don't drink much during the week and so it ends up being a little event to look forward to. Thursday nights end up one of two ways, wrestle-mania style or with me giggling about Bud's accent. In fact, I think last night I recited an entire monologue in Texas.
