The Lush: First Round
Welcome to my new segment, The Lush. Named after the beloved but canceled Attack of the show segment (pre Olivia Munn), in which the hosts taught viewers different drinks and drinking games, my new segment follows in their great tradition.
Not to toot my horn, but people like my drinks. People ask for my drinks at parties, and are disappointed when i'm not bar tending. I'm not saying every drink i make is a hit (trust me some drinks an estranged friend wont even drink, you know who that is) but ive made my fair share of deelish drinks. And I'm here to just give you a little bit of my secrets. I'll be writing recipes for some of my original drinks, the ways i make classics, and sharing some new recipes that i find. One reason is to record all my knowledge, And moreover to help all of you mixology challenged people out there. Even better, all my recipes are measured in a way we all can understand, and makes it easy for parties, solo cup lines or counted pours. So lets have our first round shall we?
Here's one of my staples
The Mojito
Heres my recipe for My Mojito.
In a shaker put,
2 spoons of raw sugar
leaves from 2 sprigs of mint (i like alot of mint in my mojito)
2 lime wedges
With the mixture in the shaker, muddle it together with a muddle, spoon, fork, or whatever. Then add in a little bit of ice, just to cool down when you mix (don't want to water it down too much).
Then pour in,
3 second count of gold rum
2 second count of triple sec
Cap the Shaker and shake it up nice. I like the north south east and west method of shaking.
Strain over ice into whatever you're drinking, then top off with soda water, or sprite if you want it a little sweeter, then finish it off with a thinly sliced lime.
Enjoy!
