This week's "Q" cocktails were Quentin and Queen of Hearts. The Quentin cocktail contains the following:
1 1/2 ounces dark rum
1/2 ounce Kahula coffee liqueur
1 ounce light cream (I asked for less)
1/8 tsp. grated cinnamon
Combine the rum, Kahula and cream in a shaker with ice. Strain into a highball glass and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Put on the Cadillac hood ornament you ripped off the neighbor's car, knock back a few before getting into the Pussy Wagon and passing out.
The Queen of Hearts is a raspberry concoction which I invented. It would make a nice Valentine's drink down the road:
2 ounces Chambourd raspberry liqueur
1/2 ounce brandy
Club soda
Pour over ice in a highball glass. Fill with club soda. Garnish with raspberries.
I have been reading about a very sophisticated drink that's been around forever called the French 75. I finally had one today. It consists of:
Juice of lemon
2 teaspooons powdered sugar
2 ounces gin
Chilled Champagne
Stir, then pour into champagne flute. Decorate with lemon slice, orange or cherry. A votre santé.
