Add Some Sunshine to Your Weekend With This Sunny Rum Drink
Congratulations on the first weekend in February and – if you participated – congratulations on getting through a dry January. I’ve heard that it’s cold outside, and in my experience, the best way to deal with a cold is to stay home and drink, preferably something with rum.
This cocktail, which I made just this morning, combines dark rum with hints of molasses, fruity wine Lillet Blanc and some sweet and tart Meyer lemon juice. I conventionally call it “Fuck Snow”. If you can’t find Meyer’s lemons, regular lemons will do, or you can try grapefruit or whatever citrus fruits you have. (Keep in mind, however, that sweeter citrus fruits may not provide enough acid for a balanced shake.) To make your own Fuck Snow, you will need:
- 1 1/2 oz dark rum
- 1 1/2 oz Lillet Blanc
- 3/4 oz Meyer lemon juice
Mix all the ingredients in an ice-filled shaker and shake vigorously until the shaker is too cold to hold. Strain into a glass compartment, eat and stay inside.
