M" Cocktails of the Week: Malibu Barbie and Mailbu Ken
There are many cocktails that begin with "Malibu:" Malibu Bay Breeze, Malibu Bomber, Malibu Dreams, Malibu Heaven, Malibu Sunrise and Sunset, Malibu Surfer...but the one commonality that makes them "Malibu" is coconut rum. This week I indulged in the cocktails "Malibu Barbie," and one that I invented called "Malibu Ken."
According to one bar jackdaw, bar attendance has dropped across the city dependent on smoking bans in effect. HE's not a smoker, mind you, but cigars and booze go hand and hand in his opinion. I also met a lovely couple, together 35 years, that were getting ready to relocate to Delaware. They had done the suburban thing, raised their family, and now they are going for the next phase of their lives. Good luck to you both.
Bartender Bill taught me a new little "twist." You cut the rind off a lemon or lime, and rub the back part of the peel (with the oil essence in it), along the rim of the glass. A tiny gesture, but it's those little things that make up bar etiquette and niceties.
