A tea-based cocktail for when you're REALLY tired after a long day. I snatched the name from an unspecified (but apparently very potent)alcoholic drink which was mentioned in Ezekiel Mphahlele's Down Second Avenue, a book about life in apartheid South Africa. Ingredients:
1 ounce light rum |
1 ounce tequila |
1 ounce grand marnier |
1/2 ounce grenadine |
1 cranberry-apple tea bag |
2 teaspoons powdered sugar |
4 maraschino cherries |
cracked ice |
Directions:
1. Frost two 8-ounce crystal glasses in your freezer for at least 30 minutes or so.
2. Brew the tea and chill it in the freezer. Stir in the powdered sugar after it cools.
3. In a separate carafe, blend the rum, tequila, Grand Marnier and the grenadine. Pour this mix into the two glasses, an equal amount in each.
4. Fill each glass the rest of the way with the chilled tea.
5. Garnish with a couple of the cherries on a toothpick in each glass.
