Gauguins Breakfast

The Gauguins Breakfast Cocktail (by Cindy Renzi, Vice presidente of French Culinary Institute, New York City, USA) was found on The King of Cocktails site. Great name has strange post-impressionist cue. Breakfast sounds like somewhat from Edouard Manet, not Gauguin… But passion fruit in compositions corresponds to polynesian period of Gauguin :)

Zombie (Stroh Edition)

Last week many of imbabers-blogers participated in real Zombiennale (New Zombie Recipes – TDN). I decided to support this theme. This great recipe of Zombie cocktails was found on Cocktail.Idea [site with very pretty design, but mediocre cocktails recipe]. But idea Zombie cocktail with Stroh (overproof specied rum from Austria) seems very interesting. I tasted Stroh rum in my Mai Tai some times ago and obtained a lot of pleasure.

Two Zombie Cocktails (Два коктейля Зомби)

Zombie (Stroh Edition)

60 ml white rum
30 ml gold rum
30 ml Stroh 60
1 dash Angostura
30 ml orange juice
30 ml lemon juice
30 ml pineapple juice
20 ml simple syrup
Shake with a lot of crushed ice and pour in hurricane glass. Garnish with any apropriate garnish (something poisonouos, I hope…).

This Zombie Cocktail has very strong and no so sweet taste. It is magnificent drink! This cocktail is great with song named Zombie by Fela Kuti.
