This Episode's Cast of Characters

It's not even winter yet and still this weather has you down doesn't it?  Longing to get away to sun-kissed beaches, but you can't because you've got that Gender Reveal party scheduled?  Look no further than this exciting episode of the Gentlemen of Elegant Leisure to help you kill both those birds with one stone.  (Not literally.  Do NOT throw stones at the Gender Reveal party!)

This time around we've got a pink drink and a blue drink from a neat little book called "The Cool Caribbean Cocktail Book" by Gilly Gobinet.  Gilly is an artist located in Antigua and you can see pictures of her gallery right here .  www.gillygobinet.com    Gilly put this book together by traveling around the islands of the Caribbean and visiting all sorts of resorts, restaurants and bars.  You can order your own copy of the book by clicking right here.

These two drinks were created by Gavin Weekes of the Sandals resort on Dickenson Bay in Antigua.  You can check out his Instagram page right here.  Seems like a nice guy and these two drinks are delicious.  Ready to try 'em out?  Let's get started

The first drink is called "Gavin's Rose Pink Special".   This is the drink you want to make if the Gender Reveal party is for a little girl.

Gavin's Rose Pink Special
-by Gavin Weekes, Sandals Resort, Antigua.  Taken from "The Cool Caribbean Cocktail Book" by Gilly Gobinet
 
2 ounces 5 year old English Harbour Rum
1 1/2 ounces amaretto
1 ounce triple sec
2 ounces pineapple juice
A dash of grenadine
1/4 ounce lime juice
 
Shake and strain into a highball glass and add ice.  Garnish with cherry and pineapple


 A little like a Mai Tai but sweeter, and more almondy because of all that Amaretto.  The Gents thought that maybe if they were to make it again, they would increase the lime juice to a half ounce just to get a little more tartness, but all and all this is a really tasty tropical drink!

What does it taste like you ask?  Gentleman Dave called it rummy rootbeer!  Why don’t you try making it and leave a comment below letting the Gents know what you thought it tasted like?
