It's that time of year again when just about everyone is proud to be an American. Start your BBQ with Stars and Stripes, a floater cocktail that is sure to show everyone that "these colors don't run," at least if you float the layers carefully.
This drink is definitely on the sweeter side, but the cream helps to balance the grenadine and the blue curacao gives it a little bit of a fruity flavor. If you are already planning a party or your own private celebration for Inauguration Day.
A few tips for building this cocktail - when pouring the middle and top layers over the bar spoon, hold the spoon with the back of the spoon facing up and holding it relatively flat. Pour the ingredients slowly, closer to the stem of the spoon than the edge. Also, be sure to wipe down your jigger and your spoon in between ingredients to prevent mixing.
How to make a Stars and Stripes Cocktail
| Start with shot glass and pour 1/2 oz of Grenadine for the bottom layer. Using a bar spoon, float 1/2 oz of Blue Curacao for the middle layer. Wipe down the spoon and then use it to float 1/2 oz of Heavy Cream for the top
layer. Sing the Star Spangled Banner and serve!
Enjoy responsibly with friends! |
