Drink of the Day: Between the Sheets
I must confess, I am a fan of tasting the liquor in whatever I drink. There are some out there that only want to get the sensation from the booze without tasting it. However, when it comes to my choice of a cocktail, I want to know what I’m getting myself into when I imbibe, and I pretty much know once I take a sip. I am also one who likes to take my time when it comes to drinking, so I can enjoy the drink, caress the flavor of it, and take in all it has to offer. No, I cannot drink with the big boys anymore, nor do I want to pretend that I can. I want to relax and take it easy when it comes to drinking. Because, to me, it’s all about the company you keep when you have time to do so.
This is why I have selected this to be the Drink of the Day. The combination of flavors that this cocktail has to offer is second to none in my book. With the hinted notes of citrus to go with the combination of rum and brandy, your taste buds will be busy. Just be sure to sit back and enjoy this ride. Because, if you do it right, this may take awhile.
