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.
