Being an ex-bartender definitely has its pros and cons. The good thing is, you get to learn how to make your own favourite cocktails and enjoy them minus the hefty price tag.
F.B.I. or more fondly known as Frozen Black Irish
Requires 3 different types of liquor and liqueur namely Vodka, Irish Cream and Coffee Liqueur.
Vodka
Bailey's Irish Cream
Kahlua is the best coffee liqueur but it can be replaced with Tia Maria.
Concoctions are simple.. 1-1-1.
Pour everything into a working blender, add vanilla Ice Cream
and ice cubes for the crunchy feel.
Optional though, I only add it because I like to chew on ice.
Blend it well but not too long of the ice cream will turn watery.
Pour into a highball and garnish with a maraschino cherry if available.
Pina Colada (this recipe is dedicated to those Pictionary lovers and Roxanne!)
This is my all time favourite especially when I'm on a beach, on a tropical getaway. The best part of it is that it's freaking cheap. All you need is White Rum (preferably from the Carribean), Pineapple Juice and Coconut Cream. How simple is that?
Ok, I didn't have any rum and since I planned on using vanilla ice cream, I decided on Malibu instead. (It's a coconut flavoured rum)
Pineapple juice. Shake it before use, the tasty sediments are always at the bottom of the can.
Pour everything into the blender,
add the vanilla ice cream and blend for a couple of seconds coz' you want to secure the creamy texture of the cocktail.
pour into a highball or hurricane,
and Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a lime in my case.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the tropical cocktail while picturing yourself on a tropical island.. bliss!
