#47: Spindrift


     Finishing this short visit to the Hut is an unexpected house favorite, the Spindrift.   This drink hits the sweet spot for the sweeter-drink-bias crowd.  It is the perfect mix of tang, sweet, mellow, and with a good alcoholic kick to it.  I'm always pleased when the great drinks on the menu come in a sidecar, for me to enjoy more afterwards.  So what is in it, already!  Well:

  • 3 oz orange juice
  • 2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz passionfruit syrup
  • ¾ oz simple syrup
  • 0.5 t vanilla extract
  • 2 oz dark Jamaican rum
  • 1.5 oz demerara rum
  • 1 oz light Puerto Rican rum
     As you can see, the Jamaican Rum, Demerara, and Puerto Rican rum mix to make a dark cloudy visual, but with a very sweet taste.  This is one for the favorites list, be sure to mark your scorecards.  On to the next batch!
