Acacia's Birthday Drink: The Serengeti Sunset

For the girl who has everything, and a mother and aunt who invent and blog about drink recipes, Acacia, in celebration of her birthday, asked us to create a birthday cocktail for her. Her only criteria was that it be exotic.

Named for the acacia tree commonly seen in silhouette on the Serengeti, something African was in order. Most pictures from Africa feature the African sunset, so we found this version both exotic and colorful. Happy Birthday, Acacia, and Cheers!

The Serengeti Sunset
2 parts spiced rum
3 parts guava nectar
1 part orange curacao
1 part pear vodka
1 part pineapple juice
drizzle with sloe gin for the ultimate sunset effect.

Serve over ice,garnish with a parasol to protect from the sun and sing along to The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

Superfecta!

Hot day at the track today, and no hot winning streaks between us. We just got back and are chillin' at Pammie's Pub where it's a cool 90 degrees out here at the "On-Deck Pub" and a creation is in the works. Pammie, ever resourceful, absconded with the Carousel's drink menu, just for some ideas. This one is based on the Hurricane, with, as we say inside the blue line, variances.

Superfecta
1 oz. spiced rum
2 oz. orange juice
1 oz. blueberry juice
Splash of pineapple juice

Shake with ice and serve over ice. Garnish with a cherry.

A less sweet version: The Trifecta

Trifecta
1 oz. 46 Peaks Vodka
2 oz. blueberry juice
2 oz. seltzer or club soda
Splash of orange juice
Serve over ice and garnish with an orange slice (which we skipped but you get the idea)

Cheers & Bottoms Up!
