Razzy Daiquiri

Stuck in the deep freeze? Well, check out the recipe for a Razzy Daiquiri. Similar to a Miami Vice or a Lava Flow, it’s liquid sunshine in a glass. Sip on it while dreaming of your favorite beach with the sun on your face and the warm sand between your toes…ahhh.

So what’s the difference between a daiquiri and a colada? A daiquiri is traditionally not quite as sweet as a colada due to the inclusion of a measure of citrus fruit (usually lime), making them just a bit tarter. The traditional daiquiri has only three ingredients (check out the recipe here), while frozen daiquiris come in a variety of flavors, such as strawberry, mango and banana, which, ironically are actually a bit sweeter than the traditional daiquiri due to the addition of the fruit.

This delicious frozen daiquiri has sugar added in the form of cream of coconut, but no additional sugar is added. If it’s a little tart for your taste, add a teaspoon of sugar (or Stevia) to the raspberry mix. You can also add a floater of rum to the final masterpiece, which of course, we usually end up doing! Enjoy!

Razzy Daiquiri

Servings:

Ingredients

1/2 cup Frozen Raspberries
1/4 – 1/2 cup Water (just enough to make a thickened raspberry sauce)
1/2 cup Fresh Cubed Pineapple (canned pineapple can be used, but why?)
1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
1/4 cup Cream of Coconut (we used Coco Lopez)
1/2 cup Canned Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Aged Rum (we used Cruzan Aged Dark Rum)
3 cups Ice

Instructions

In a blender, blend together the raspberries and water. Optional – For a sweeter drink, add 1-2 tsp. sugar or 1-2 drops Stevia. Set aside in a small container.
Rinse out the blender and blend together the pineapple, lime juice, cream of coconut, coconut milk, rum and ice until smooth and creamy.
In a hurricane glass, drizzle the raspberry sauce on around the sides.
Slowly add the pineapple mixture to the glass.
Add one more dollop of raspberry sauce to the top of the drink. Garnish with pineapple, raspberries or a tropical straw!

Chocolate Rum Brownies with Warm Rum Glaze

Oh my goodness. Warm, dark chocolate brownies made with rum and drizzled with a warm rum glaze… Seriously delicious. I actually used a brownie mix for this one (Ghirardelli’s Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix), but you could also make a batch from scratch if you have time. Super easy and so very good. Guess what my Valentine is getting this year!

Painkiller Punch

A slight variation on the Caribbean favorite drink, the Painkiller, the Painkiller Punch lightens it up just a tad with coconut rum instead of cream of coconut. Additionally a splash of grendadine is added for color, we used coconut water ice cubes and of course we added a delicious dark rum floater. SO tropically delicious!

Holiday Rum Cake

We’ve enjoyed a slice or two of rum cake in our past, but this was our first attempt at making one ourselves and it turned out, well, interesting…. We used a basic recipe from King Arthur Baking and made just a couple of basic changes. The cake was extremely moist and savory and definitely had a wonderful full rum taste. The problem was that it didn’t come out of the Bundt pan as well as we would have liked, which led to photos of an upside-down bundt cake, but the taste made up for the presentation! We oiled and powdered the pan with almond flour, but when we try it again, we’ll use a regular flour to see if that helps with the extraction. Happy Holidays!

Print Recipe

Holiday Rum Cake

Servings:

Ingredients

Cake Mix

2 c Unbleached All – Purpose Flour (plus a little extra for dusting the pan)
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 small box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (3.4 oz)
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
8 tbsp Unsalted Butter (softened)
1/2 c Vegetable Oil
1/2 c Milk (room temperature)
4 large Eggs (room temperature)
1/2 c Aged Rum (we used Mount Gay Eclipse) (try Coconut Rum for a different taste)
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (use the good stuff!)
Powdered Sugar (to dust the finished cake)

Syrup Mix

8 tbsp Unsalted Butter
1/4 c Water
1 c Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 c Rum
1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Mix together the flour, sugar, pudding mix, baking powder, salt, butter, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl.
Add the milk, and beat in the eggs one at a time.
Stir in the rum and vanilla.
Lightly oil a 10 – 12 cup Bundt pan. Using the extra flour, lightly dust the inside of the pan.
Put the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. When done, a long toothpick or butter knife will come out clean when inserted into the center. Remove the cake from the oven.
Leave the cake in the pan to cool slightly while you make the syrup.
In a medium-sized saucepan combine the syrup ingredients, except vanilla. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, until the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Use a long skewer to poke holes all over the cake. Pour about 1/4 cup of the syrup over the cake while still in the pan. Allow the syrup to soak in, then repeat again and again until all the syrup is used.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and allow the cake to sit for at least 5 hours or overnight at room temperature to cool completely and soak in the syrup. When ready to serve, loosen the edges of the cake and invert onto your serving plate. If the cake won’t release warm it in the oven for about 10 minutes at a low temp. Remove the cake from the oven, tip it onto the serving plate and dust it with a little powdered sugar.
Slice and serve!

Super Easy No Bake Rum Balls

These moist little morsels of chocolate and rum deliciousness are so easy to make and taste great. They don’t require baking, therefore the rum is not burned off, so save these treats for the adults! We used Myers’s Rum as we like the full rum taste, but an aged rum can also be used if you’d like a milder rum taste. You also can give them just a sprinkle of powdered sugar instead of rolling them in the sugar at the end, if desired. Enjoy!

Print Recipe

Super Easy No Bake Rum Balls

Servings: 1 – inch balls

Ingredients

1 box Nilla Wafers (11 oz)
1/3 c. Dark Rum (we used Myers's) (Use an aged rum if you want a milder rum taste)
1 c. Powdered Sugar (plus a little extra for rolling or sprinkling at the end)
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
2 tbsp White Corn Syrup

Instructions

Crush the wafers into crumbs by rolling them with a rolling pin in a large Ziploc bag or pulsing in a food processor.
Pour crushed wafers into a large mixing bowl and add the powdered sugar, cocoa and white corn syrup. Mix together.
Add rum and mix until the mixture can be formed into balls.
Take a teaspoon of the mixture and drop it on a plastic cutting board or other flat surface. Roll into a ball and repeat for the rest of the mixture.
Spread some powered sugar on a plate then roll each ball to coat. If you'd rather, you can also just sprinkle powdered sugar over the finished balls.
Store in the fridge until ready to use. Let them sit out and warm slightly before serving.

Rum Old-Fashioned

An Old-Fashioned is a classic drink that has been popular since the mid-1800’s. The typical Old-Fashioned is made with bourbon, but in this version, we tried Marque Reserve Rum, which is aged in bourbon barrels. Marque is made without any added sugars and so played nicely with a single brown sugar cube and the bitters. Enjoy!

The Tropical Escape

Gosh, who couldn’t use a tropical escape right now? Although we’d rather be drinking this delicious tropical combination of coconut and guava on our favorite Caribbean beach, the taste, at least, will remind us of swinging in a hammock with the sound of gentle waves lapping the shore. Ahhh…

The Tropical Escape is super easy to make and we like to add the optional floater to ours. The taste of the guava and coconut blended together is delicate, so although we frequently use a dark rum as a floater, we opted for a good gold rum (we used Cruzan aged). It added a little more rum taste and a slightly stronger alcohol content without overpowering the cocktail.

Print Recipe

The Tropical Escape

This delicate tropical taste combination of coconut rum and guava will have you dreaming of the islands.

Servings:

Ingredients

4 oz. Coconut Rum (we used Blue Chair Bay Coconut Rum)
4 oz. Guava Nectar (or guava juice if you can't find the nectar)
4 tsp. Lemon Juice
6 dashes Bitters
2 tsp. Simple Syrup
4 oz. Coconut Water
2 – 4 oz. Gold Rum for Floater (optional)
Pineapple Fronds and/or Pineapple Chunks (for garnish)

Instructions

Combine the coconut rum, guava nectar, lemon juice, bitters and coconut water in a large cocktail shaker and shake or stir to blend.
Add crushed ice to glasses (we used martini glasses like these), and pour the cocktail over the ice.
Add 1/2 – 1 oz. of floater to each glass, if desired.
Garnish with pineapple fronds and a chunk of pineapple.

Lime Daiquiri Slush

Hopefully we have a few more weeks of nice, warm weather coming our way. If so, you might really enjoy these adorable little mason jar shooters full of a burst of cold and limey goodness. Definitely not a typical shooter (unless you enjoy a severe brain freeze!) but great as an after BBQ treat and palate cleanser. They could easily be converted to a full size beverage by putting the lime slush in a 12 oz. glass and adding more of the lemon lime soda.

Make the drink lower cal and low sugar by using a sugar free lime jello and stevia (to taste) instead of sugar!

Print Recipe

Lime Daiquiri Slush

Servings:

Ingredients

1/2 c. Fresh Mint Leaves (hold a few back for garnish)
1 tbsp Sugar (use Stevia to taste for lower calories and sugar)
1 can Frozen Limeade Concentrate (thawed)
1/2 3 oz. package Lime Jello (use sugar-free for lower calories and sugar)
1/2 c. Boiling Water
1 c. Cold Water
1/2 c. Lemon Lime or Grapefruit Soda (Ting is good if you can find it)
1/2 c. White or Silver Rum (we used Bacardi Superior)

Instructions

Pour the Lime Jello into a mixing bowl. Add the boiling water and mint leaves. Slightly muddle the mint leaves in the boiling water.
Stir until the Jello has dissolved. Cover and let it sit for 20-30 minutes.
Remove the mint by pouring through a strainer.
Add the cold water, limeade, soda and rum. Mix well.
Pour into a gallon size freezer bag and refrigerate for 6 hours or longer.
Scoop into the mason glass shooters, garnish with a mint leaf and a paper straw – or a dessert spoon. Because of the size of the mason glass shooter, we cut the paper straws in half to fit.
If you'd rather make these a full size beverage, pour 2/3 c. of mix into a 12 oz. glass then top it off with more lemon lime or grapefruit soda. Enjoy!
