Razzy Peach Chill

Day 75

Razzy Peach Chill

4 shots out of 5

Felt like pulling out the blender again and having another blended cocktail.  Since I only have my 4 purees so far, I thought I'd try to blend a couple of them together and make a new flavor.  I call it Razzy Peach Chill!

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  It's a pretty good one.  Raspberry and Peach are a pretty good match and I'm enjoying drinking this cocktail.    I like raspberry flavor in my cocktails in general, so I figured adding raspberry and peach might be good.  (Side note: Raspberry margaritas are the flavor that I usually order because it  cuts out that tequila taste quite well.)  I do need to get some more flavors of purees though so that I can experiment more.  I know they have a strawberry one......but I'm hoping they have some different flavors out there that I haven't seen yet.

Here is the recipe for the Razzy Peach Chill:

• 1 1/2 shots rum
• 1 1/2 shot peach puree
• 1/2 shot raspberry puree
• 1/2 shot peach schnapps
• 1/2 shot sweet & sour mix

In a blender add a cup of ice, rum, peach puree, raspberry puree, peach schnapps and sweet & sour mix.  Blend up your ingredients until all of the ice is gone, you don't want your cocktail crunchy!

Cheers to the word Razzy!  I just really like that word and felt like incorporating it in the name of tonight's cocktail!!

Peach Freeze Cocktail

Day 60

Peach Freeze

3.5 shots out of 5

Was feeling creative today and it seems that my peach puree has been neglected lately, so I thought I'd try my hardest to make something with it today.  I have to say that this peach puree is a hard one to work with for me.  It doesn't have as strong of a flavor as some of those other purees, so I feel like I should be adding a LOT of shots of it to my recipes.......which doesn't work when you have one cocktail glass to fit it in.

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  I wasn't terribly happy that it didn't have a bigger peach taste, but it is what it is.  I figured adding the peach schnapps would help, and it defiantly did.  The cocktail over all isn't horrible (which might be the way it sounds?), it has a good flavor and I am happy drinking it.  I will still try to figure out a way (which maybe adding actual peaches themselves would work) to make a frozen cocktail taste more peachy, but for now, this one will do.

Here is the recipe for a Peach Freeze:

• 1 1/2 shots rum
• 1 1/2 shot peach puree
• 1/2 shot peach schnapps
• 1/2 shot sweet & sour mix

In a blender add a cup of ice, rum, peach puree, peach schnapps and sweet & sour mix.  Blend it up until the ice is completely gone.  Pour and enjoy!

Here's to finding a more peachy frozen cocktail in the future.  And a BIG cheers to my 60th day of my Year Of Cocktails Blog!!  I'm enjoying this a whole lot!  I feel a lot more experienced in the world of cocktails now then I did when I started this blog!

Cheers!

Peach Margarita

Day 48

Peach Margarita

3.5 shots out of 5

I am a BIG fan of these Finest Call purees, I must say!  I'm enjoying using them to create my blended cocktails.  I'm looking forward to my next trip to the liquor store to find out what other flavors they sell!!

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  I was a little disappointed in myself because I wanted this cocktail to taste more like peaches.  My husband says that he can taste the peach flavor, but I can't taste it all that much.  I think I'll try to make it again another night and amend my ingredient amounts a little.  I do need to tell you though, that the photo of the end result below was fresh out of the blender, so it looks kinda whitish, where now as I'm blogging about it and it's sitting, the ingredients have settled and it's now the color that I thought it would be which is a peachy orange color. 

To me this cocktail kind of tastes like a blended margarita.....wait, let me take another sip.........yup, I was right!  I mean I kind of taste the peach, but not like I want to.  Oh well, can't make a "5 shoter" every night.  I think if I was to lessen the sweet & sour and add more of the peach puree I would have had it tasting more like I wanted it to.

Here is the recipe for the Peach Margarita:

• 1 shot tequila (yes I said tequila, yikes!)
• 1/4 shot triple sec
• 1/4 shot lime juice
• 1 1/2 shots sweet & sour mix
• 1 shot peach puree

In a blender add 1 cup of ice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, sweet & sour mix and peach puree.  Blend until your ice is completely gone.  Pour and enjoy!!

I guess even the cocktail lady doesn't get it right all the time, haha, totally kidding, I'm still learning how to and what to mix to make these cocktails work!

Cheers!!
