Tahitian Sunrise

Last Monday when we went to the rum tasting class at the LCBO we were given a number of recipes for rum based cocktails. One in particular caught Paul's attention. Last Friday after a challenging day of work he came home and declared that he needed a drink. His choice? A Tahitian Sunrise.

Happily we had all of the ingredients (except for the juice which I dashed to the store to buy). This was a keeper in our books. We kept trying it all damn weekend long.

Today I had to go out and buy more of the Malibu Mango Rum!

Tahitian Sunrise

4 oz juice (I used a mango citrus blend)
1 oz banana liqueur
1 oz Malibu mango rum
1 tsp grenadine

Measure the ingredients into a shaker filled with ice. Shake to blend.

Fill a glass with ice cubes. Drizzle the grenadine over the ice.

Pour the drink into the glass.

In the summer you can mix this up for a crowd in a pitcher and store it in the fridge.  Another summer tip[ is to make your ice cubes for serving the drink out of the fruit juice - this prevents the drinks form being diluted in the sun as the regular ice cubes melt and water it down.

Barb- my head is starting to reel a bit with all of the things that need doing. Normally I have lists of stuff to do or things to bring. I have made none! I had better get organized shortly.
