melon and rum cocktail

Every year the hot days of summer bring us the best melons of the year.
they are ripe and sweet and there’s a good variety to choose from.

The spicy rum combined with freshly squeezed melon juice and a hint of mint makes a superb summer refresher.
melon juice goes very well with a variety of base spirits like rum, tequila, vodka, and even mezcal.

apple and caramel cocktail

This apples and caramel cocktail is a delight.
there’s so much you can do with different kinds of apples in cocktails.
no matter what base spirit you will choose there is always a suitable apple for the job.
but pairing a reb crispy apple with caramel is one of the best combinations you can think of and you can rarely go wrong.

To spice up the mix I added some high-quality aged rum, my homemade orgeat, and a pinch of cinnamon, just to give it a nice kick.

for the caramel flavor, I used Van Gogh caramel.
typically I don’t tend to use vodka in my drinks.
but the caramel version from this brand is amazing and really has a rich flavor.
