"Peechy-Keen"

Posted by Keith Saunders

Posted: May 21, 2008 - 1:01 pm

How about a sweet juicy delectible peach to bite into?

There hard to come by here in the Last Frontier.

Here's an alternative.

Every week I'm usually working with a new recipe at Simon and Seafort's to feature. This week I finally perfected a drink that put smiles on some lovely faces.

Thanks to a pair of birthday girls I finally have a name for it.

The Peechy-Keen!

It blends together 4 simple ingredients that will put a smile on your face once it comes across your lips.

Here it is;

Peechy-Keen

1 1/2 oz. Bacardi Peach Red Rum
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1 1/2 oz. Sweet and Sour
1 oz. White Cranberry Juice

Combine all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake. Take a chilled martini glass and rim it with sugar. To rim a glass take a lime or lemon and wipe it around the edge of the glass and dip it lightly into sugar.

Strain contents of the shaker into the glass and sip away.

Thanks again ladies for the input. Enjoy the photographs and come and see me soon for the next cocktail adventure I'll take you on.

Salut!
