Pinacolada drink

My love for this drink was spiked by a team building event while at the coast in one of the coastal hotels.Everyone was ordering all manner of drinks and the bar man just told me try this drink and you will like it, and true to his words, i did.
I redid my own home made version and i loved it.The secret to this drink is some good pineapple juice and coconut milk. The rest you can play with the ingredients. Especially the type of alcohol you want to use.

Berry Cola Mojito

If theres one thing i love most in this world, is what washes down my meal, or what i drink when thirsty or what i take when i just want to have some good time. I am not a heavy alcohol drinker, hence my love for cocktails, because they tend to be sweet, fancy, which end up disguising the heavy amount of alcohol content in the drink which could actually make me a heavy alcohol drinker,,I also love the weird names that cocktails have, i wonder who created them but they are as naughty as the drink itsef.I am starting a tradition and hoping to keep up with it, to be making cocktails every Saturdays whenever i have time doing this while practising on my mixologist skills as well. So i tried this cocktail which i used vodka, strawberries, raspberry liquor that i made ages ago, lemon juice, mint leaves and Coke soda.I am not sure about the exact measurements but i’ll give it an estimate of the measurements but the more alcohol the better for all.

RASPBERRY MOONSHINE

by Chef Sidi
written by Chef Sidi

My favorite part of a meal is what washes it down, this means a good drink definitely goes along way completing any meal. How about wishing for a good cocktail to wind up a good evening over very good conversations and cheers. Our current  situation doesn’t allow us to party at the moment, no social visits anywhere. To make an evening memorable how about you try this simple yet amazing cocktail. My husband and I were trying to come up with a name as you know cocktails have very bourgeoisie names, and because we were having it in the house, locked down. We named it, Quarantine Moonshine. But for the sake of the blog, we stick to Raspberry Moonshine.
You need very simple ingredients for these, but the raspberry liquor is a must. If you don’t have it simply use fresh raspberries and sugar syrup.

Ingredients

  • 200 g Pineapples chopped
  • 2 key lime ( 1 squeezed)
  • 250 ml Raspberry liquer
  • 150 ml Vodka
  • 250ml Sprite soda
  • Mint leaves
  • Chopped lime in rounds for garnishing
  •  

Instructions

Add the pineapples, squeezed lime juice and raspberry liqueur in a blender and blend to a very smooth concentrate.

Add this to a pitcher.

Pour in the Vodka, Sprite soda, taste.Add more sprite or Vodka as per how you would prefer it to be.

Add the chopped mint leaves and chopped lime.

Refrigerate and serve Cold over ice cubes or just as it is.  Let this rest for about an hour before drinking so that flavors infuse well. The mint gives it a good fresh kick, and the lime juice a good tangy aftertaste.

To serve

Take a glass, rub the rim with lime, dip it in sugar, then pour the drink, place a lime at the rim. Add several straws and enjoy. I prefer using two thin ones.

Notes

If using fresh raspberries blend them prior with sugar syrup. Then add the pineapples and blend even further till smooth, then follow instructions as per recipe.
