Day 162, Cocktail 159
Back at Ivee’s today for more Brown’s football and finally able to celebrate a win! While I didn’t ask Terry for a vodka rum today, I did mix up another one to go with dinner. I guess between the tiki drinks last night and the Brown’s win today I was ready to go for it!
This recipe comes from the CocktailDB. Where the name Blue Mountain comes from I have been unable to discern, but I’m sure there’s a story there somewhere – if you know it, please let me know!
Blue Mountain
- 1-1/2 oz dark rum
- 3/4 oz vodka
- 3/4 oz Kahlua
- 1 oz orange juice
Combine the ingredients in a coktail shaker with ice. Shake, shake, shake to chill and mix. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
I used Appleton Estate Reserve rum and Smirnoff vodka in this drink. This is a very good, slighlty sweet cocktail, that is perfect for a crisp fall day. The coffee flavors of the Kahlua blend exceptionally well with the Appleton rum to create a slighty nutty flavor profile. I’ll happily drink this cockatil again.
Cheers!
