Wet, wet, wet! And it’s going to stay wet through the weekend. As the saying goes, “the best things in life are better wet.” We just made that up, but it sounds good. Think about it...
The saying is especially true when it comes to adult beverages. Our drink of the week can be found everywhere around town these days, but we would suggest making your own “Swamp Water”. Fair warning: it won’t look very appealing when you make it. But drink a couple and everything will look better; drink too many and everything will look even worse. We should probably warn you about that, too.
Swamp Water
1 oz Bacardi 151
½ oz Beefeater Gin
¾ oz melon liqueur (like Midori or DeKuyper)
Pineapple juice
2 oz lemon juice
Grenadine
In a 1-pint mason jar (or a Hurricane glass if you don’t want the full effect) add a splash of grenadine. Fill with ice and add rum, gin and liqueur. Fill with pineapple juice, top with lemon juice. Stir. Toss a handful of green straws in to make it look like your backyard. Add your favorite plastic swamp critter as garnish.
Here’s to a wet weekend. Drink up!
If you’re going to drink, drink smart and leave the pirogue at home.
