As I have mentioned before I really enjoy a Kir while I am cooking dinner or having appetizers. But in the summer I like to change things up a bit, so recently I've turned to rum drinks. I'm not one for too much hard liquor, but nothing says summer beach quite like a rum drink. Of course I have always liked a Pina Colada, and it is very easy to make with a minimal bar. I just follow the recipe on the back of the Coco Real Cream of Coconut and use about 1 cup of ice. Recently I've added Pain Killers to my list of tropical drinks. Again they are easy to make with a minimalist bar.
Pain Killers for 2:
6 oz pineapple juice
6 oz orange juice
3 oz cream of coconut
6 oz rum ( please use something good)
I put everything in the blender with about 2 cups of ice and blend together. If it is not strong enough for you go ahead and add a rum topper. This can also be made without the rum for a Virgin Pain Killer for kids, and the adults can add the rum later.
Enjoy!
And as always with love from the Midwest,
Beth
