Once upon a time, long, long ago, I used to be a bartender. Well, maybe not so long ago. Let me do the math…15 years ago, to be exact. In my early 20s, I was a young bartender in NYC. I was a certified mixologist (if that’s actually a thing). I actually went to a bartending school, where I spent 2 weeks learning the art of slinging cocktails and classic drink recipes. Armed with my new skills, I went to the first place that I saw a bartending opening, and that was the local bar in my neighborhood. I spent a few years bartending, and it was then that my love for making a cocktail was born.
That’s a long time ago, but I do like to make cocktails at home from time to time, especially using Malibu® Caribbean Rum with Coconut Liqueur and Jameson® Irish Whiskey. Malibu is Caribbean rum mixed with coconut liqueur that’s perfect in any summertime cocktail, like this Pineapple Coconut Rum Punch. The pineapple juice and Malibu rum are a perfect pair, and if fruity drinks are your thing, then you will love this one.
Jameson is a triple distilled whiskey, which is a blend of pot still and grain whiskey – it’s perfect in a cocktail or by itself. This Orange Vanilla Cocktail is sort of a nod to an Old Fashioned but with a fresh spin with the ginger beer and a little less sweet for those that aren’t into fruity cocktails. I call these His and Hers Cocktails.
To help you create my cocktails, I have great ways of saving on Jameson and Malibu.
