His & Hers Cocktails - The Tropics & Bakewell Punch

Is there anything better than a rum cocktail when hot, sticky, never ending weather hits?  Aside from a/c....no.  There's something about the combination of rum, orgeat and citrus that just screams relaxation and vacation vibes.  With a stress free weekend ahead, I can't think of a better way to kick things off!

His Cocktail - The Tropics
1 1/2 oz White rum
1 1/2 oz Fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 oz Orgeat syrup
Several dashes aromatic bitters (Angostura used)

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add the rum, grapefruit juice and orgeat.  Shake until chilled.  Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice.  Shake as much aromatic bitters you would like on top.  

Her Cocktail - Bakewell Punch (Ben Reed)
1 lime wedge (squeeze and drop into shaker)
5 Raspberries
1 1/4 oz White rum
1 1/4 oz Fresh pink grapefruit juice
2 tsp Simpe syrup
2 tsp Orgeat syrup
Lime wheel garnish

Muddle the lime wedge and raspberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.  Fill with ice and add the rest of the ingredients.  Shake until chilled.  Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice.  Garnish.

Happy Drinking!
