Limes are in short supply right now, so feel free to add additional lemon juice instead of the lime. That’s part of the drink’s appeal, really. I recommend blending up your mint more thoroughly than I did in the pictures, but even then, you’ll need to give the drink a stir every now to redistribute the mint. You definitely want to serve this drink with a straw, which will serve as a stirring device and help you avoid the awkward mint-bits-stuck-on-teeth thing. Once you have your bootleg mix, just fill a glass with ice and pour in equal parts mix, liquor of choice and fizzy club soda. Most bootleg mixes use frozen lemonade/limeade concentrate, but I made mine fresh. Fresh mint leaves are blended together with fresh lemon and lime juice and natural sweetener. I ordered mine with bourbon for some warmth and, on first sip, knew that I had to recreate it on the blog.īasically, if spiked lemonade and a mojito collided in a blender, you would end up with a bootleg. It was a chilly spring night, but I couldn’t resist the bar’s signature drink, which was a summery-sounding lemon and mint drink. I discovered the bootleg at Brit’s Pub in Minneapolis when I went out for an after-dinner drink with Erin and Taylor. This “bootleg cocktail” will definitely be my summer drink and I hope it becomes yours. I have some ambitious blog projects in the works that I can’t wait to share with you all. Maybe I can accomplish the latter, but I’ll probably spend most of the weekend working, as usual. ![]() I’m imagining that you will be gallivanting around a lake, perhaps sipping cocktails on a yacht or at minimum, sipping clinking drinks on a patio whilst rocking a pair of white skinny jeans. Sip and savour, this is too good for chugging.Memorial Day weekend snuck up on me again. Shake until the shaker is chilled to the touch. Pour in the vodka, orange liqueur and fresh lime juice. Take your cocktail shaker and add a good handful of ice. You will need a cocktail shaker and two shot glasses Or two hits, actually, but who’s counting, it’s Friday after all. I am celebrating the return of normality at home and the start of the weekend in one hit. Sip and start your weekend with the lift you need. Pour this tart cocktail into two shot glasses, no need for a garnish, this is a stand alone drink and doesn’t need any frippery. Then there’s just the fresh lime juice to add. Measure in the vodka followed by the orange liqueur of your choice, I went for Cointreau. ![]() Add a good handful of ice to your cocktail shaker. Oh come on, you know how this starts, it’s a well trodden path. And it makes two, one for you and another for you too. I love a citrus based drink and this lively little shot fits the bill perfectly. Three small ingredients make up this wonderfully fresh tasting shot. Or to finish a restful week and prepare for a lively weekend. This is delicious and a great way to start a Friday night. The name Kamikaze makes this shot sound quite savage, but think again. The fresh lime juice adds zing and lightens the whole business up. Canadian whisky and American blends with a smooth profile are better matches than bourbons, scotches, or other whiskeys with bolder flavors. ![]() When switching whiskey styles, try to stick with blended whiskeys. This vodka and orange liqueur based drink is punchy yes, but it’s also super drinkable too. Increase the Irish whiskey to 1 1/2 ounces, shake it up, and strain the drink into an ice-filled rocks glass, then add 1 to 2 ounces of soda. This Kamikaze shot, however, is quite light and fresh, Springlike if you please. I love a Sambuca, don’t get me wrong, but they always seem to make me feel ten times worse the morning after. Shots for me usually involve a couple of ill timed Sambucas on top of far too many gin and tonics. Now it’s Friday, it’s time to celebrate George coming home and normal service resuming, so I’ll be whipping up a couple of Kamikaze Shots to mark the occasion. As it turns out, nagging is quite motivational. It’s been strange, good in some ways, lonely in others. George has been away at a rowing camp so I’ve had time off cooking evening meals, washing and I haven’t had to nag anyone to get on with their GCSE revision. We have had a quiet week at home this week.
