Hidden Grapefruit

Day 135

Hidden Grapefruit

4 shots out of 5

Hello Malibu Mango Rum!  Nice to see you again!  It's been a while.  I'm excited about using this rum again.  I have to admit, back in the days when I was a Vodka Cran girl (ha ha, you know like 135 days ago), I honestly did not get flavored vodkas and rums.  I thought they were silly and pointless.  I mean sure your vodka tastes like blueberries, but come on, just pour some blueberry juice (I don't even know if they make blueberry juice.......it's just the first flavor that came to mind) in with your vodka and call it a day.  BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  This is a nice refreshing cocktail!  I forgot about how good cranberry juice can be in a cocktail........guess I took my anti-vodka cran's pretty seriously!  The chilled glass makes it taste even that much better!  I am really enjoying this cocktail and think I will make it again.......if not tonight, very soon!  It's such a simple cocktail too, LOVE IT!

Here is the recipe for a Hidden Grapefruit:

• 1 oz Malibu Mango Rum
• 1 oz cranberry juice
• 1 oz orange juice

In a shaker, add ice, rum and both juices.  Shake it up real good.  Strain it into a short cocktail glass and enjoy!!

Here's to my old friend cranberry juice!  Reunited and it feels tastes sooo good!!
