Screaming Pussycat Cocktail


I thought I'd share another one of my original cocktail recipes today - I call this one the Screaming Pussycat.  I named it after my cat Travis, who is by far the most vocal of our three felines.

Ingredients:
  • 2 oz grapefruit vodka
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 1 oz Grand Marnier
  • 1/2 oz orgeat
  • 1 cup crushed ice
For the vodka, I like Deep Eddy's grapefruit vodka, but any good grapefruit vodka will work.  Orgeat is an almond-flavored syrup and it can be a little difficult to find, but it is a necessary ingredient in a lot of tropical cocktails, including Mai Tais.  You'll probably want to go to a big liquor store to look for it - you might want to call to make sure they have it.  If you can't find it locally (I could never find it when I lived in Boston), you can order it online at Finest Call or a lot of other places. 


Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.


Serve in a tiki mug or your glass of choice.


And here's our very own Screaming Pussycat.  MEOW!

  2. That does sound delightful! My momma has recently taken a liking to Negroni Flips! Personally, I think she should try this one!
