It’s just a Tequila Sunrise, but you substitute light rum for the tequila. (Not to cast aspersions on M’Lady Mockingbird’s namesake libation, but The Little Woman preferrs it with rum.)
A squirt of Grenadine
A blast of rum
O.J.
All inna glass
(Sorry for the technical bar-talk, I hope it doesn’t throw anyone off.)
Does this have a name? Every mix of liquor seems to have a name. Or is it something that just got thrown together one day? (Hmmm… we’ve got Jack Daniels… and Tang…) I seem to remember, she “discovered” it in a real bar setting.
Also, where can I find Passion Fruit Juice/Mix/Syrup? (For a Hurricane)
If made with dark rum, it’s a “Bumpy Sunrise”,or a “Caobo Special”. If it’s made with white rum, why not just call it a “Caribbean Sunrise” or a “Rum Sunrise”.
BTW, searching on Google for “drink recipes” got me nowhere until I tried http://www.idrink.com, which allows you to enter your own ingredients. Seemed pretty cool.
Hurricane mix can be found here: http://www.cajunmarket.com/Pat-Obriens-Hurricane-Mix/
which is a reliable suplier, but big cooking stores usually have the mixes lying around. I think that this mix is a little sweet, but foolproof and since it’s a tad sweet, you can load it with alcohol.
I’ve looked for the Hurricane Mix at liquor stores and grocery stores. Even bakeries, if the were having Mardi Gras specials. But I didn’t think to look in cooking stores.
Continuing this line of questioning, does anyone know what to call a Bloody Mary made with gin instead of vodka? I much prefer it that way, especially in airplanes, for some reason.
Continuing again, I think I’ve heard another name for the regular Bloody Mary made with vodka. Anyone know that one?
If you make a Bloody Mary with gin, it can be called a “Bloody Elizabeth”, for some reason. Try them with aquavit for a “Swedish Mary”, but only if you can get the caraway or dill flavoured aquavits. The caraway one sounds gross,but adds an unusual flavor. I think it’s pretty good.
BTW, the ultimate Bloody with brunch recipe around the house here is:
vodka
ice
tomato juice
horseradish
lemon
Worcestershire sauce
no Tabasco, instead “Ass-kickin roasted garlic Habanero sauce”
and occasionally some fresh ground pepper or snipped dill.
Two of these and a cheese omelette will drive any hangover known to man off the face of the earth.
