sex with the bartender drink1. Coconut Rum
As highlighted above, coconut rum is white rum or a neutral spirit mixed with coconut water or coconut flavoring and sugar. It is a general misconception that white rum and coconut rum are interchangeable but that is utterly untrue. Basic white rum lacks any added flavor. Malibu or any other coconut rum is essential to this sex with the bartender recipe. The sweeter essence is attributed to this ingredient.
2. Triple Sec
Triple sec is a vital ingredient in a lot of cocktails. It seems like an elusive addition, but it just is a sweet, dry, and generic, orange-flavored liqueur. What sets it apart is that it is extremely strong and adds the much-needed punch to any cocktail. By volume, it can have up to 40 percent of alcohol content. This is why it is used in a range of drinks like LIIT, Sangria, Kamikaze, Margarita and so many more.
3. Grenadine Syrup
This is a non-alcoholic syrup used in many cocktails to pack in that sweet and tart flavor. It is also used to give cocktails that bright red color that looks so beautiful. It is made using pomegranates and can easily be made at home. Over medium heat mix a quarter cup of sugar and one full cup of hundred percent pomegranate juice. Keep mixing and stirring till the sugar dissolves entirely.
Once dissolved, increase the heat till the mixture boils and thickens slightly. Chill this thick juice and squeeze half a lemon for a heightened tart taste. Now pour this syrup into a bottle. There you have your very own grenadine syrup. However, it cannot be stored for longer than a month.
