The Pistachio Rumba! (Happy Birthday Laura @Pistachio Fitton!)

By
Pistachio Rumba Cocktail

@Pistachio Rumba!

In honour of my dear friend Laura “Pistachio” Fitton’s birthday today we mixed up a cocktail just for her. The Pistachio Rumba!

While this isn’t an original Madtini cocktail it did require a little extra detective work. We searched a couple of grocery stores and came up empty handed for the key ingredient for this creamy cocktail – pistachio ice cream!

We finally managed to locate pistachio ice cream at a nearby ice cream shop… giddy with success I managed to drop the container of ice cream on the way out the door… but the lid stayed on, the ice cream survived, and we made it home safely without further incident.

The Pistachio Rumba is slightly nutty, sweet without being too sweet, and definitely memorable – in other words exactly like @Pistachio…

Happy Birthday, Laura! Have a fabulously nutty, sweet, memorable year!

Pistachio Ice Cream

Pistachio Ice Cream!

Pistachio Rumba

3 tablespoons pistachio ice cream

2 oz white rum

Combine ice cream & rum in a cocktail shaker filled with crushed ice, shake, strain into cocktail glass and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Week 14: The Zentini

By

madtini_zentini_week14I must remain calm, I must get through the next 39 weeks before the premiere of Season 4 of Mad Men. I can always watch Season 1 & 2 DVDs, I can dress up my cats like the Sterling Cooper account team – would you like another yummy-kitty-treat Lil Kenny Cosgrove? See, I’m already starting to lose it, I don’t even have cats!!

The end of Season 3 was awesome, seeing our favorite characters come together to stage the Agency Coup and seeing the beginnings of the new Sterling Cooper Draper & Pryce take shape was exciting. We’ll start coping tonight by watching the remake of The Prisoner and somehow we’ll hold on to March for the equally great Breaking Bad (but we have no plans to introduce any form of meth to our cocktail mix) :-/

So, let’s all remain calm, stick together and support each other – and of course enjoy weekend cocktails. Tonight its the appropriately named ‘Zentini’.

Recipe

1 1/2 oz of white rum we have Bacardi!)
1/2 oz of lime juice
1/2 oz of triple sec
1/2 oz of blue curacao

Combine the ingredients in a martini shaker filled with ice cubes. Shake vigorously and strain into a cocktail glass full of crushed ice.

Cheers as always from Madtini World Party Headquarters
