Pink Tiki Cocktail Recipe

I hope everyone's 2018 is off to a good start - ours is off to a frigid one!  I'm not a fan of cold weather (after 3 winters in Boston, I have seen more than enough snow to last me a life time), and I have been dreaming of a tropical vacation lately.  I can't afford one of those, but I can make tropical drinks.  Today I'm sharing the recipe for one of my own tropical creations - the Pink Tiki.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz coconut rum
• 1 oz gin
• 1 1/2 oz grapefruit juice
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1/2 oz orgeat
• 1/4 oz grenadine
• 1 cup crushed ice

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.

Pour into a tiki mug (or your glass of choice) and enjoy!

Mango Mussolini Cocktail Recipe

Today I'm sharing the recipe for a cocktail I created - the Mango Mussolini, named after a certain short-fingered, badly-coiffed international pariah. You either laugh or you cry about politics and I prefer to laugh, with a cocktail in hand.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz gin
• 2 oz mango puree
• 2 oz lemon juice
• 3/4 oz lime juice
• 1 cup crushed ice

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.

Serve in a tiki mug or glass of your choice, and turn on CNN to check out the latest in Russian collusion and alternative facts.
