Neon Iguana recipe

Spiced Rum

Spiced Rums are based on Golden Rums, but have added flavours in the form of various different spices and sometimes caramel.

For Spiced Rum, we recommend:

Malibu

Malibu is a coconut-flavoured rum liqueur with an alcoholic volume of 21%.

Malibu is made from coconut, fruits, and spices and, interestingly, was originally created to make it easier for bartenders to make the ever-popular Piña Colada.

Blue Curaçao

Blue Curaçao is a liqueur flavoured with the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit, which is then artificially coloured blue for effect.

It’s a great ingredient to use in cocktails because it pretty much has everything you could ever want as a cocktail mixer:

1. It has an enticing colour.
2. It has a bitter orange taste that blends well with most flavours.
3. It has a great amount of alcohol in it.

For Blue Curacao, we recommend:

Orange Juice

Orange Juice is an essential ingredient for most bars and fridges all around the world. Why? It mixes well with virtually any form of alcohol.

Cocktails with Orange Juice and Vodka? Absolutely.

Cocktails with Orange Juice and Tequila? Naturally.

Cocktails with Orange Juice and Rum? Sure, why not?

And the list doesn’t end there.

For Orange Juice, we recommend:

Highball Glass

Highball Glasses are the most common glasses in the cocktail world. You can put most cocktails in there from the Long Island Iced Tea to a Bay Breeze.

Bar Spoon

Bar Spoons are great for cocktails you’re supposed to stir, rather than shake in a cocktail shaker.

Sure, you can probably use any spoon to stir your drink but these bar spoons are the real deal. It’s the proper equipment to get the job right.

• They’re long enough to get to the bottom of any cocktail to allow you to properly stir.
• They have a twist spiral design that allows for a better grip.
• They’re made out of stainless steel, so they’re durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to clean.
