I present a Valentine's Day cocktail! It is spicy, sweet and sour...just like a real love affair!I saw June Carter Cash sing for Johnny Cash's birthday once. She came out with her harp and said, "This is a song I wrote about what it is like to be in love with Johnny Cash" To see this gentle little old lady sing this song, her own composition, to her dying husband...well it just broke my little heart. I hope one day to be a little old lady who loves someone this much.Here is the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnplCRQVLDMHere is the drink:The Ring of Fire1 1/2 oz Rougaroux Praline Rum1/2 oz Willett Rye1/2 oz cinnamon syrup3/4 oz Lemon juicehealthy pinch of Cayenne/chili pepper blendShake all ingredients and strain into a chilled cocktail glass with a half rim of Cayenne sugar.
Rye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively as a grain and forage crop. It is a member of the wheat tribe (Triticeae) and is closely related to barley and wheat. Rye grain is used for flour, rye bread, rye beer, vodka and great whiskeys. Here is to a life filled with love, alcohol and clothes on the floor!
