    Long Island Blue Lagoon

    This was an  exhilarating evening.
    I simply enjoyed making this one.
    Spontaneous or rather trail and error are key to some of the wonderful  mixes in the world of mixology.
    .
    Goa’s Cashew Feni was awarded Geographical Indication registration in 2009 as a speciality alcoholic beverage from Goa, described as a colourless, clear liquid. Locals just love this spirit as it’s also known for it’s medicinal property & well for the tourists visting Goa it’s a must try drink
    Keeping Feni as my foundation drink I have my eyes set on the rest of white spirits with a blue punch of Curacao to finish.

    Rum & Ginger Ale
    .
    Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum is named after the 17th-century Welsh privateer of the Caribbean, Sir Henry Morgan who died on 25 August 1688. Since 2017, the label has used the slogan “Live like the Captain”🥃🥃

    The rum is distilled in a continuous still. Once distilled, the clear spirit is aged in oak barrels for up to a year, adding a golden colour and character to the rum before the flavours and spices are added.
    The other variant is the Black Spiced Rum – Crafted from Caribbean Blackstrap rum and select ingredients, including “rich clove spice and premium cassia bark … finished with double charred blackened oak for a premium, smooth taste”🥃🥃

    “Maker’s Mark Bourbon” – A wonderful dram with it’s signature taste notes of rich and soft caramels on the nose, honey and fruit mouthfeel  makes it perfect choice for the cocktail🥃

    Pina Colada

    Sure an all time favorite of most of us. The name Pina Colada instantly evokes to my mind Sea, Sand, Surf, Rum, Coconut Pineapple, Caribbean, Goa….etc
    .
    It is said Ramón Portas Mingot is credited with creating the drink in 1954.Though, the earliest known story states that in the 19th century, Puerto Rican pirate Roberto Cofresí, to boost his crew’s morale, gave them a beverage or cocktail that contained coconut, pineapple and white rum.This was what would be later known as the famous piña colada
    .
    Ingredients

    Bacardi Carta Blanca Rum – 60 ml @bacardi
    Coconut cream – 20 ml
    Coconut milk – 20 ml

    Tequila – 60 ml @donalejandro
    Orange Liqueur – 30 ml @grandmarnierofficial
    Dark Rum – 10 ml @bacardi
    Lemon juice – 30 ml
    Green chilli

    Preparation Method

    Use Boston Shaker to shake tequila, liqueur, lemon juice with ice. Pour it over crushed ice in a Margarita cocktail glass half rimmed with lemon & salt. Gently release dark rum.

    .
    Margarita is often hailed as the quintessential “Mexican” cocktail.
    Carlos “Danny” Herrera, owner of Tijuana restaurant Rancho La Gloria, claims he invented the drink in 1938. .
    Dallas socialite Margarita Sames insisted that she concocted the drink for a group of her friends while vacationing in Acapulco in 1948.
    .
    Story also goes that in 1941, bartender Don Carlos Orozco was tending bar in Ensenada, Mexico. While, he was futzing around making cocktails, Margarita Henkel, daughter of a German ambassador, walked into his bar. He allowed her to taste his experiment and coined the drink in her honor.
    .
    Danny Negrete is also named as inventor of the drink. Apparently, the cocktail was a wedding gift for his sister-in-law, yep another Margarita, bestowed upon her at the Garci Crespo Hotel. Interestingly enough, Negrete worked at Agua Cliente Race Track, where starlet Margarita Cansino (you might know her as Rita Hayworth) would often perform.
    .
    However the margarita may not be named after a beautiful woman at all, but instead may just be a variation of another cocktail that was popular during Prohibition: the Daisy. In fact, margarita means “daisy” in Spanish. The only difference between the Daisy and the margarita is that the former was made with brandy and the latter with tequila.
