Just fabulous! At a favorite resto on Maui, their house Mai Tai comes topped with a passion fruit foam, and is sublime! I love passion fruit :heart: Your cocktail looks well made, and I’m sure is delicious.

ETA: I’ll post a Mai tai recipe here as soon as I can chase it down - it’s a good one, and a little different to others I’ve enjoyed. A copy cat recipe from the Hanimale General Store on the slopes of Haleakala, a now closed but much loved and missed restaurant by Chef Beverly Gannon.

And back at ya @chienrouge ! Added a touch of the tropics to my dreary day/evening (weather wise) At least I’m working on a nice glass of wine, but I should go get a little umbrella to put in it. Cheers!

Dangerous. Very dangerous.

At least we didn’t kill the bottle of Moutai.

It seems that when America awakens on Black Friday it jumps into full tilt Christmas mode. In the spirit of “if you can’t beat them, join them” I made my favorite Christmas drink, martinis.

How do you make grenadine ?

1 Like

I had never really thought about what grenadine was made from then I stumbled on a recipe and am kicking myself that I’ve never made it before because it is so easy and you can adjust the sweet/tart. Squeeze pomegranates (or buy pomegranate juice), heat up and add sugar and lemon. When it cools add a couple teaspoons of rose water. You can also use pomegranate syrup. I’m gonna try orgeat syrup next.

I can’t buy those luxardo cherries anymore because my teen discovered them for her mocktails and goes through them too fast - I need to find something cheaper.

Regular red cherries all good too

What is your ice tip

Oh I just have one of those silicone ice molds for large cubes. I have the sphere ones too but they don’t work as well, the ice always splits.

Occasionally we accidentally leave them out, and our autistic son, who eats no other fruit except for jam or fruit yoghurt, eats the whole jar. We hide the foods he will devour compulsively, and he is on the constant prowl. The Luxardos live on the kitchen counter in a Cento San Marzano tomatoes can.
