Mai Tai Drink Mixes Up Sweet Heat

Posted on May 16, 2013 | Leave a comment

Mai Tai Me Up is a spiced up version of the classic Mai Tai – recipe and photo by Mixologist Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

The classic Mai Tai drink recipe is commonly known to include Orgeat, almond syrup. I created this variation of the Mai Tai drink while reviewing Blackheart Spiced Rum. I found this particular rum worked well in tropical drink recipes and cocktails that leaned more toward warmer tones. That’s one of the reasons I chose to work with Falernum rather than Orgeat in this variation of the Mai Tai drink recipe. Blackheart Spiced Rum already contains a significant amount of vanilla with almond tones. It just made sense to incorporate more Tiki spice into the drink.

Mai Tai Teenie is the low calorie version of the classic Mai Tai – photo and recipe by Mixologist Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

Falernum is sometimes difficult to find locally, so make your own with the easy Homemade Falernum recipe found in the link.

Another Mai Tai variation can be found in the popular 21 Must Try Classic Cocktails post. By the way, if you think of a classic cocktail that should be added to that that post, please mention the cocktail recipe in the comments section. I would love to add your suggestions!

Figure friendly cocktails that are truly fresh tasting and flavorful are difficult to come by. Rest assured the Mai Tai Teenie will keep your taste buds happy with only 127 calories in the glass. This low calorie Mai Tai uses fresh pineapple and orange juice rather than orange liqueur for wonderful fresh flavor.

Girls Night Out Cocktail: Harvest Moon

Posted on May 15, 2013 | Leave a comment

Many fine Italian wines for sale.

Girls Night Out sometimes comes with a few misconceptions. It isn’t necessarily a gab fest of complaints about significant others, how the office queen is trying to ruin our next step up the ladder of success or how little Tommy just graduated from tricycle to training wheels. Often it’s about breathing a much needed sigh of relief, not worrying about anyone else and countless laughs for a few hours. And if we look good in a smokin’ hot dress and high heel shoes while having a good time, all the better.

Ditch the Cosmo, howl at the moon! Enjoy Girls Night Out, Ladies!

Harvest Moon

2 ounces American Harvest

1/2 ounce Le Combier Triple Sec

1/2 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice

1/4 ounce Grenadine

Lemon Twist Garnish

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled coupe glass. Garnish with lemon twist.

Girls Night Out is also synonymous with wine tasting evenings in. Wine Chateau has a large selection of wines, including fine Italian wines, currently priced to fit every budget.
