Having Fun With Cocktails!
February 24, 2009 by Susan Denny
Did you know that there are hundreds or maybe thousands of ways to create great cocktails?
All it takes is the right mix of ingredients and you end up with an outstanding concoction!
We are agents for “Quittin’ Time”, a supplier of the world’s best rums! These rums have never been seen before on Australian shores like Brinley Gold Flavored Rums, such as Vanilla, Coconut, Mango, Coffee and Lime, La Mauny Rum Punches and full flavored rums from Martinique, and Premium Riviere Du Mat Rums from Reunion Island east of Madagascar.
Our product is Fun LED Glassware so we decided to experiment using different flavoured rums in our wonderful light up glasses.
One of our best recipes, (our version of a Piña Colada Smoothy), which we then poured into light-up Margarita glasses, contained the following ingredients:
- 1 part Brinley Gold Coconut Rum
- 4 parts La Mauny Piña Colada
- 1 banana
- 1 slice fresh pineapple
Fill a blender with ice, pour in the rums, add the banana and pineapple, and blend it all together. Pour into the glass and garnish with a slice of pineapple.
What you end up with is a refreshing Summer drink, but don’t drink too quickly or you’ll end up with an “ice” headache! Enjoy!!
Looking Forward To Summer!
October 17, 2008 by Susan Denny
It’s already Spring here in the Southern hemisphere and I’m really looking forward to the beautiful sunny days and the warm, balmy nights.
The weather in Queensland is very good all year round but Summer is very hot and humid and I seem to have an unquenchable thirst.
This is when I get most use out of my Fun LED Glassware. The days and nights are perfect for getting together with family and friends sharing some fantastic cocktails. There are so many to choose from I don’t know where to start.
One of my favourite things to do is sit by my pool and sip either a refreshing cocktail or a martini in my Fun LED Martini glass. At night it’s really spectacular watching the glasses change colour in the dark.
To finish the night off I love a shot of lime flavoured rum in my Fun LED Shot glasses. What a colourful way to spend a day!
I’ve put together a list of delicious cocktails which are sent to you weekly. If you’d like to subscribe please submit your details below.
