Cooking Lesson #573: Gladiator’s Cocktails War

2/3/2023

0 Comments

 

…from the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar

How you doin’? The Super Bowl is about two teams at the peak of their performance battling each other on the field of glory like the gladiators of ancient Rome. We decided to pit the most well-paired teams with their signature drinks from each of those cities going against each other—we call this the Super Bowl cocktail wars.
 
Being that I am writing this two weeks ahead of gametime, I predict the San Francisco 49’ers will play the Kansas City Chiefs. So I decided to select a San Francisco Mai Tai versus a Kansas City Ice Water. Both of these drinks are evenly matched (like the two teams). Like the teams, these cocktails have a lot going for them—the Mai Tai is sweet and flavorful, the Kansas City Iced Water is light and refreshing—unique in their own way.
 
The San Francisco Mai Tai is fruity, slightly sweet and full of flavor. The rum and fruit mix together in a delicious medley. Some may say this is less than a manly drink, but this is what I’ve chosen to honor the city playing the game by having this in competition.
 
Kansas City Ice Water is delicious and honestly you won’t know it even has alcohol in it. They say the best defense is a good offense and this drink packs a punch, but in the sneaky fast way. Too many of these too quickly and you won’t remember anything past halftime.
 
                                                 Kansas City Ice Water
 
Prep time:  10 minutes
Yield:  1 cocktail
 
Ingredients 
Ice (about half glass full)
1 ounce vodka
1 ounce gin
1/2 ounce triple sec
1/2 ounce lime juice
Lemon-lime soda (7-Up or Sprite)
Lime string garnish
 
Directions
  1. Add the ice to a 10 to 12-ounce glass.
  2. Pour the gin and vodka over the ice.
  3. Mix in the triple sec and lime juice.
  4. Add lemon-lime soda to fill the glass and stir.
  5. Garnish with a lime string or slice and serve.

: Seriously, don’t be a jerk--DRINK RESPONSIBILY! Don’t drink and drive.

Super Bowl Quip of the Day:  Q: What do you call a 49'ers fan holding a bottle of champagne after Super Bowl XLVII. A: Waiter!
Q. Why are the Chiefs like a possum? A. Because they play dead at home and get killed on the road.
