Posted on August 27, 2012 | 1 Comment

80 Proof / 40% alcohol

Suggested Retail Price: $20 to $25 depending upon market area

Availability: Though I’ve never seen this particular brand in my market area (Omaha, NE), Brugal Rum is available extensively at many online liquor shops.

Brugal Anejo Rum Tasting Notes

Color: Deep gold

Aroma: Fisherman’s dock. No burn.

Tasted Neat: A lot of burn. Tastes of salty sea air inside a fisherman’s dock. Faint fish. Burnt molasses. Mineral deposit.

Mouth Feel: Very thin

Comparable Spirit:

Possible Uses, Pairings and / or Cocktails:

Quite honestly I don’t care for this at all. All I can think of to make with this is to drown it in cola to mask the fishy taste.

Splash Lemon Lime Soda

Review: Early Times Fire Eater

Posted on August 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

Cinnamon Liqueur blended with Early Times Whisky

66 Proof / 33% alcohol

Suggested Retail Price: $14.99 to $15.99 / 750ml bottle

Availability: Kentucky, Indiana, Washington, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, Wisconsin and California as of July 2012. More markets to follow.

Early Times Fire Eater Tasting Notes

Color: Pale straw color. Slight golden.

Aroma: Strong cinnamon. Fullness. Jolly Rancher cinnamon candy comes to mind. Expectation of medium thickness mouth feel with sweetness.

Tasted Neat: Tastes more like cinnamon disk candies. Warming. Sweet, but sweetness fades to more cinnamon tone. Not fiery hot. Heat minimal. Warming effect is quite pleasant. Perhaps due to whisky inclusion.

I love how the warmth of this liqueur overshadows the sweetness factor. Terrific fun liqueur.

Mouth Feel: Light mouth feel, but far from thin.

Comparable Spirit: Perhaps Fireball Whisky. Could also be substituted for numerous cinnamon liqueurs, but would be lighter on sweetness that usual liqueurs.

Possible Uses, Pairings and / or Cocktails:

One part Early Times Fire Eater, One part Rum Chata (Horchata with Rum). Chill in cocktail shaker. Strain into shot glass. – Tastes like popular cinnamon graham or cinnamon toast cereals.

Could be used in numerous shot drinks that call for cinnamon liqueur.

Stilt Walker

1 ounce Early Times Fire Eater

1/2 ounce Amaretto

1 ounce Orange Juice

4 ounces Sprite

Place all ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice. Roll shaker to blend. Transfer to tall glass to serve.

Russian Fucker

Posted on May 18, 2012 | Leave a comment

There’s a shot for everything and that includes humoring the funny bone, sugaring the sweet tooth and getting wasted within seconds. This one captures the attention by name (I didn’t name it by the way), messes one up if taken in rapid succession, but makes a terrific sipping drink if allowed to mellow out over time. Please use discretion when choosing your method of consumption.

Russian Fucker Shooter

1/3 measure Vodka

1/3 measure Amaretto

1/3 measure Canadian Whisky

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into shot glass. Serve and shoot ice cold.

For those of you who prefer sipping over shooting, this makes an excelling drink for relaxing at the end of the day. Serve this on the rocks, neat or shake it up over ice to chill and aerate and serve in rocks glass without ice for smooth sipping.

Level Headed Russian Fucker – adapted by Cheri Loughlin

1 measure Vodka

1 measure Amaretto

1 measure Canadian Whisky

Orange Peel Garnish

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake or stir to blend and chill. Strain into rocks glass over fresh ice.

Next time you run across a shot or shooter you think sounds like something you might want to actually taste rather than throw back, try it out shaken over ice and strained in a cocktail glass or poured over ice in a rocks glass. You might be surprised that the shot tastes a lot better at a slower pace than you thought. Then again, I’ve seen some of those shots….Some of them are aptly named like Toxic Waste, Nuclear Spill, and even a Dirty Ashtray. No thanks.
