It’s been quite a while since someone has posted at Barritt’s Ginger Beer Blog. All apologies to our audience (and yes, in this case “audience” means a cat and a lonely alcoholic). And yes, we will be posting regularly from this point forward so please check back in for events, recipes, and pictures from the road.
Anywho, here are some recipes from the recent Rum on the River event in Philadelphia. The event was hosted by Adam Kanter at the Rum Bar in Philly. Please stop by – the cocktails are top notch, and so is the food. Def get the creole daquiri – unreal. And yes, the Dark ‘n Stormy mojito is quite good.
We featured several new cocktails at Rum on the River – with much success. We had a lot of repeat visitors , especially with the Raspberry Smash, Pay Day and the Corsairs Cocktail. Here are the recipes. And yes, I will be posting pics from the event soon.
