So it is Mardi Gras, the part of the show where good Catholics party it up before the season of sobriety that is Lent. In celebration of the day, and of my (sort of) Cajun heritage, I bring you the Lafayette, a cocktail named in honor of the town that I was born in. If the Lafayette looks a little familiar, it's because it's really just an
original Hurricane, made with extra-molassesy Black Strap rum. The rum is what takes this drink to the next level. It's sweet, and rich, and dark. And looks like pond scum. But don't let that deter you.
The Lafayette Cocktail
2 oz Cruzan Black Strap Rum
1 oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 oz Passionfruit Syrup (this stuff can be a real bitch to find -
get it on Amazon.)
Shake all ingredients over ice. Then pour them into a highball glass with ice, or whatever floats your boat. Then
laissez les bons temps rouler.
Looks delish!
ReplyDeleteWhole Foods usually has B. G. Reynold's passion fruit syrup on display in its miscellaneous bar stuffs section (bitters, mixers, etc). Great taste, much better than Monin, and it pairs well with the Black Strap. Otherwise, if you have Hispanic markets near you, you can buy frozen passion fruit pulp, defrost it, and sweeten it.
ReplyDeleteBlack Strap is my go-to rum for Hurricanes, though I've started mixing in a bit of Smith and Cross because I find that its overripe tropical fruit notes pair extremely well with passion fruit.
Realy Great...
