Science Of Drink

I purshased two great hurricane glass last summer. This beautiful big glasses needed something beautiful and unusuall. First of all I found cocktail of the same name - Hurricane. And I come tiki-cocktail-lovers with Hurricane cocktail. Now I want to describe some of my favorite recipes of Hurricane Cocktail.

You may read interesting Hurricane recipe comparsion on Rick`s Kaiser Penguin blog. I want to introduce three versions of Hurricane - classical, version by Dale Degroff and unusuall Hurricane Merylin by Salvatore Calabrese.

The key ingredient of classical Hurricane is passion fruit syrup. Common I use Passion fruit Syrup by Monin.

Hurricane

50 ml light rum
50 ml dark rum
30 ml passion fruit syrup
30 ml fresh orange juice
30 ml fresh lime juice
1 tsp. grenadine
Shake. Hurricane glass. Garnish with a flag.

I use Captain Morgan Black and Old Pascas White (Barbados) for this cocktail. The drink has bright sweet taste with some bitternes of lime.

Hurricane (Dale DeGroff)

30 ml dark rum
30 ml light rum
15 ml Galliano
20 ml fresh lime juice
30 ml passion fruit syrup
45 ml fresh orange juice
45 ml pineapple juice
1 dash Angostura bitter
Shake. Hurricane glass. Garnish with tropical fruit.

This mix is one of my favorite tropical cocktail. The drink has super-smooth sweet taste with hint of vanilla and tropic candy. It is great version! Extremely delicious cocktail!

Hurricane Merylin (Salvatore Calabrese)

20 ml Pusser’s rum
20 ml Bacardi rum
10 ml canadian whisky Seagrams
10 ml Cointreau
70 ml cranberry juice
70 ml guava juice
20 ml fresh lemon juice
1-2 drops of grenadine
Shake. Hurricane. Garnish with a strawberry, mint and kiwi slice.

This Hurricane is light and smooth. The drink has very interesting and unusuall taste. I use Angostura 1919 rum and Canadian Club White Label for mix. I think I have good results. Actually I like this cocktail very much.

This “martini” style cocktail has apple smell and  light taste. Sometimes I like drink this kind after nervous day.

Black Apple Martini

30 ml canadian whisky
20 ml apple schapps
40 ml cranberry juice
Shake. Cocktail glass.

Admirable!

I have some bottles of cream liqueur in my home bar and now I try to prepare some delicious dessert cocktail with this liquor.

In this post I would describe some long-drink with cream liqueur - slides.

Next time I would describe a martini-style cocktail with cream-liquers.

I do not love very much a creamy cocktails, Irish creams and cream. But many of my female friends (understand? is it correct?) love these things very, very much. Some times I think about to devote grandiose investigation of this kind of liquors and drinks from it.

This cocktail has typical composition but very romantic name. But I feel queasy from the picture of this cocktail…

White Knight

45 ml Irish cream liqueur
15 ml Irish whiskey
15 ml coconut rum
45 ml half & half
Shake. Old-fashioned glass, garnish with coconut wedge…

Mortal knight!  drink.

Manhattan is one of my favorite cocktail. Today we taste one of many variations of Manhattan.

Special Manhattan Cocktail

50 ml canadian whisky
20 ml sweet vermouth
1 tsp Campari
Stir with ice. Cocktail glass, garnish with a maraschino cherry.

Great version of great cocktail.
