The Episode:
The Situations: Adam Pranica got held up at the US/Canada border and it was sort of Ben’s fault. Chris is donning his tour guide hat for a Londoner new to Toronto and Ben went on a road trip with his mom.
The Drinks:
Beef On Rye (via)
1 1/2 oz Beefeater gin
1/2 oz Canadian club whisky
1/2 oz Passion Fruit syrup
2 oz sparkling Bitter lemon soda
Shake the gin, whisky and syrup in a shaker. Strain into an old-fashioned glass half-filled with broken ice. Add the lemon soda.
Rum Runner
1 1/2 oz gold rum
1/2 oz Crème de Mûre (blackberry brandy)
1/2 oz Crème de Banane
4 oz Fresh Orange juice
Dash of Falernum or Grenadine
Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled hurricane glass.
The Blacktop (via)
2 oz Mount Gay rum
1 oz Myers’s rum
1 1/2 ounces fresh lemon juice
1 ounce simple syrup
1 maraschino cherry, for garnish
1 orange slice, for garnish
Pour the Mount Gay rum, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a mixing glass two-thirds full of ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass, and carefully pour the Myers’s rum over the back of a teaspoon so that it floats on top of the drink. Garnish with the cherry and the orange slice.
@drinkaboutit with Comic con coming up, I need a nerdy/geeky drink to have after cosplaying and geeking out all day.
