Description
Farmers Market Mixology combined with 1970’s drinking. I love working with Galliano, mixed it with Genever before works really well. But the constraints of the contest gave it a whole new challange. I kept the Rum & Galliano as the base of the cocktail. Instead of banana liquor I found beautiful Nectarines out of Santa Paula on the farmers market which hold up in the cocktail. I make my own house blood orange bitters which I replaced the orange juice with, and as a final touch. Instead of pineapple I used Muscato D’asti to bring everything together. A beautiful summer drink.

Cocktail RecipeOriole

1 1/2 oz Cruzan Rum
3/4 oz Galliano L’Autentico
1/4 oz Home Made Blood Orange Bitters
2 oz Nectarine Puree (Nectarines in a blender with Lemon, Orange & Simple Syrup)
1 oz Muscato D’asti
2 blood orange slices & mint for garnish

Put the ingredients, Rum, Galliano, Bitters, Puree in a shaker with ice, stir until cold.
Put the Muscato in a collins glass, add the content of the shaker to the glass and it should pretty much top it off.
Slide the blood orange wheels in on the side for looks, and the mint on top for color.
