My life isn't particularly interesting, and I'm not into blogging menial, day-to-day stuff. But there is one thing about me that's at least mildly interesting: I'm a rather good drink mixer, for an amateur. So I'll be posting interesting recipes as I drink them, with an attached photo of the concoction if possible.
So, to start, a Blue Mountain:
1 1/2 oz. | 4.5 cl. dark rum
3/4 oz. | 2 cl. vodka
3/4 oz. | 2 cl. coffee liqueur
1 oz. | 3 cl. orange juice
Shake in iced cocktail shaker & strain. Serve in a cocktail glass (4.5 oz).
I have no idea why it's called Blue Mountain, since it's clearly brownish-orange, as you see from the picture. Tastes great, though: smooth, and sweet but nor overwhelmingly so.
