It’s Friday, and It’s Cocktail Evening in Barbados

It’s Friday and it’s almost the end of another great week in paradise. Friday in Barbados can only mean one thing, and that’s Ostins Fish Fry, which I will heading down to later this evening.

Before I head down to Ostins Fish Fry I plan on getting myself in the mood by having a few cocktails. I must admit I like a few cocktails form time to time. I remember the good old days when I was a student in Aberdeen and those Friday happy hour cocktails sessions we use to have at Henry J Beans.

Sitting on the wall in our house is a calendar with some cocktail recipes, which have been created by local bar tenders. They seemed easy enough to make and I thought it would be fun to make a few of them.

So here are 3 cocktails which all have a Bajan slant to them, some of the ingredients such as the Banks Beer and Sorrel may be difficult to obtain. If that is the case, just improvise.

Banks Gingerade

8 ozs Banks Beer
2 oz Ginger Ale
½ oz Falernum Dash of Bitters

Sorrel-Rhum-Tini

1 oz White Rum
1 oz Raspberry/Passion Fruit Liqueur
½ Lime Juice
½ Simple Syrup
2 oz – 3 oz BBC Sorrel Frutee

After Shock

1 oz Frangellico
½ oz Kahlua
Banks Beer to top
