We have yet another new tradition: The annual, traveling Kulm Kocktail Trophy ….. Congratulations to Weekender Chris, the Kulm Kup laureate!  And many thanks to the Kulms for the trophy and concept.

Let us now share with the world the wondrous depressant-based beverages that we served at Weekend XI.   Please add your recipe here or in the Comments section below.

_________________

Strawberry Basil Lemonade Cocktail
(all measurements are guesstimates…)

  • 2 shots Rum
  • 3 large strawberries, cut up or pureed
  • 3-5 basil leaves
  • Lemonade
  • Ice

(I would recommend in your standard pint glass)

Muddle rum, strawberries, and basil.
Fill glass with ice.
Fill with lemonade.

DRINK! (From Abby)

________________

Raspberry Mojito
(again, disclaimer on guesstimates)

  • 2 shots rum (the WI liquor store didn’t have raspberry flavored rum but that makes it even better)
  • 5 red raspberries
  • 5-7 mint leaves
  • Sprite/7-Up/Sierra Mist (whatever your preference)
  • Ice

Muddle rum, raspberries, mint leaves.
Fill glass with ice (again, I say pint glass)
Fill with the lemon-lime soda of your choice.

DRINK! (From Abby)

_________________

Gin Blizz (aka the Gin Shake-Up)*

  • 2 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce lemonade
  • 1 big tablespoon bar sugar with foamer
  • Ice (plenty of)

Blend it all together, or if necessary, shake.  Great for beach parties and as a substitute for a morning glass of grapefruit juice.  (From YOS)

* Propeller beenie tip to Weekender Beth for the State Fair-esque alternate name.  And even bigger hat tip to Beth for coming up with the Kontest in the first place.
