Four New Cocktails to Make This Weekend
Saturday, March 03, 2012
Before we get beer-centric with St. Patrick's Day, let's take the weekend to whip up a new batch of cocktails, fresh from Fleming's brand-new mixology menu for March.
“I’m very proud of this new Cocktail Menu,” said Maeve Pesquera, Director of Wine for Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. “Our goal is to do for cocktails what Fleming’s has done for wines by the glass: to give our guests the opportunity to explore something new and different that pairs nicely with one of our small plates or entrées and contributes to a memorable experience. Careful and creative attention was paid to the mixology of these very special cocktails.”
Retro Chic: The Sailor Daiquiri
Retro Chic is a collection of cocktails that puts a contemporary spin on classic mixed drinks, including a new take on President John F. Kennedy’s favorite cocktail. The Sailor Daiquiri is a surprisingly strong, not syrupy, take on the classic daiquiri made with Sailor Jerry Rum, fresh pineapple and lime juices, served icy and “up.”
1.5 oz Sailor Jerry Rum
1.5 oz Pineapple juice
.75 oz Fresh Lime Sour
Shake over ice and strain into Martini glass
Garnish: Floating Lime Wheel
Glass: Martini
Couture Collection: Margaritas + More
Fleming's Couture Cocktail collection highlights creative recipes using chef-driven seasonal ingredients, and includes the Milagro Margarita with Milagro Silver Tequila, fresh lime juice muddled with cool cucumber, and a touch of cilantro and jalapeño for a dash of heat. Plus, two strawberry-fueled blends will have everyone feeling like it's already June.
