Freakish Recipes

Mint leaves (I use a lot, probably 6-8 per drink,  some times more if they’re small)

Limes/ lime juice

fine white sugar

clear rum (you can use flavored rums, but skip the sugar if you do)

In a glass add your mint leaves and 1 tsp sugar (skip the sugar if you’re using a flavored rum).  Muddle the leaves until bruised but not mushed, you just want the flavor to release.  Add 1 1/2  tbsp lime juice (if you’re not a huge lime fan, you can muddle a wedge of lime with the mint instead of adding the lime juice then add extra lime wedges to suit your palate).  Fill with ice.  Add a shot of rum.  Top with water or club soda.  I prefer water.  Garnish with lime wedge.

You can add other fresh fruits and play with the recipe, I often add raspberries and black berries.  But Star Fruit is also good, peach, blueberry, etc.

I like this one, but it’s very like a Tom & Jerry batter.

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter

2 cups vanilla ice cream

rum

water

nutmeg

combine sugar, brown sugar and butter in a 2 quart saucepan.  Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted.  Combine cooked mixture with ice cream in large mixing bowl and beat at medium sped until smooth.  Store refrigerated for 2 weeks or frozen up to one month.  Fill mug 1/4 with mixture add rum and top with boiling water.  Garnish with nutmeg.

This is one of the 2 recipes I use, depending on what I’m craving:

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

2 cups brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

pinch cloves

pinch salt

bottle dark rum

boiling water

In a bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.  Refrigerate until almost firm.  Spoon about 2 tbsp of the butter mixture into a mug, add 3 oz rum, top with boiling water and stir well.

This delicious drink should be served hot, and is especially warming on chilly fall days or nights. It’s a great drink to serve at Halloween parties or Thanksgiving dinners as well.

In a large saucepan, mix together 2 cups of pumpkin puree, 2 cups of apple cider, a teaspoon of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice, and a cinnamon stick.
