Guest judge Kim has made the excellent point that this drink should contain hidden treasures along the lines of Goldschlagger. Crooney pointed out that alcohol is the hidden treasure.
1.5 oz. rum
.5 oz. triple sec
.5 oz. grenadine
1 oz. sour mix
Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass (surprise!).
This drink is a very appealing color. Crooney took the first sip and said it's not bad, but somehow not as good as he was expecting. He wondered if perhaps he just doesn't like light rum that much.
The color suggests fruit punch, and I am happy to report that it tastes a lot like fruit punch. Kim and I both think Crooney's less-than-glowing assessment is off. This one is a winner.
You guys are hitting up the apple brandy and the grenadine tonight like its going out of style! Keep up the good work. I wish the Beachcomber was the drink we had tried that night in Philly... Ew, I just got a chill from the memory.
