On Wednesday, March 3, Don Q Rum held it's regional "Mix it Up" competition at the Drawing Room in Chicago. One of the finalists, Milan Mijatovic of the Silversmith Hotel, made a cocktail called "The Gold Coast Martini." This was a fantastic example of how Domaine de Canton can be used with many different spirits, including such disparate flavors as rum and absinthe. For Milan and Domaine de Canton, it was an excellent way to celebrate National Absinthe Day. Shown below is Milan holding The Gold Coast Martini and the recipe. Cheers!
The Gold Coast Martini1 oz Don Q Gold Rum
3/4 oz Domaine de Canton
1/4 oz Sirene Absinthe
1/2 oz fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 oz fresh lime juice
Shake well, strain into chilled cocktail glass, enjoy!
Meanwhile, up in Somerville, Massachusetts, bartender Joe McGuirk of Highland Kitchen has developed an amazing Domaine de Canton cocktail called the Macintoddy:
The Macintoddy
6 oz. spiced cider (see below)
1/2 teaspoon allspice
3/4 oz. Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
1 orange slice
To make spiced cider, boil a gallon of apple cider with 2 cinnamon sticks and an orange studded with 10 cloves; reduce to simmer.
For a MacIntoddy, mix 6 oz. of cider with remaining ingredients and serve in a mug with an orange slice.
