Simple proportions, simple flavors.
This sweet, bourbon-based cocktail has a creamy/frothy consistency due to the pineapple juice.
1.0 oz Bourbon
1.0 oz Triple Sec
1.0 oz Creme de Banana
1.0 oz Pineapple Juice
Into a shaker with ice, add all of the ingredients. Shake, then strain into a glass with some of the ice.
Today I tried another Bourbon cocktail. Despite the list of ingredients, it is not my usual sugary, fruity cocktail. The bourbon and the bitters give this one a more grown up flavor. I’m not quite ready for savory cocktails, but this could be a step in that direction.
0.5 oz Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Orange Juice
0.5 oz Pineapple Juice
0.25 oz Demerara Syrup
0.5 tsp Grenadine
1.5 oz Bourbon Whiskey
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake. Strain into a cocktail glass.
This is a very nice mildly sweet and mildly tart, rum-based cocktail.
1.0 oz Orange Juice
0.5 oz Lime Juice
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
1.5 oz Light Rum
The original recipe calls for blending a handful of ice with the ingredients for 15 seconds, and then pouring, unstrained into a cocktail glass. I chose to shake crushed ice with the ingredients and avoided cleaning a blender.
This a great cocktail that highlights passion fruit syrup. It is tart, and sweet. Along with that, add a good dark rum and it is full of flavor!
1.0 oz dark Jamaican rum (I used Plantation Double Aged Dark)
0.5 oz Lemon juice
0.5 oz Pineapple juice
0.5 oz Passion fruit syrup (I used Possmei)
Add ice and all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain. Pour.
That’s a good cocktail!

Cruzan Car
1 1/2 oz Spiced Rum (Cruzan 9 implied)
3/4 oz Triple Sec
2 oz Sour Mix
3/4 oz Orange Juice
Fill shaker with ice. Add ingredients. Shake. Strain into cocktail glass.
(Although the photo is the actual cocktail, it seems all yellow-orange cocktails in a cocktail glass are going to look the same!)
