Mixology Monday 18 is orange
I am honoured to host this month’s Mixology Monday #18, thank you paul! The theme is orange because this particular fruit happens to be ruled by the astrological sign of Leo. The zodiacal top cat also rules juniper (so gin was a possibility until i found out about g-vine), mango (a little obscure, no?), rice (sake, perhaps…), tomatoes, olives, walnuts, marigolds, saffron and any plant that thrives in full sun areas of the garden, or that bears a heavy physical resemblance to the sun.
So put your celestial thinking cap on and make a killer cocktail in honour of Leo! All it must contain is the warm and passionate essence of the sun, vibrant ruler of the proud cat. Orange you exited? (i know, kill me)
Please post your entry no later than Monday, August 13th, and trackback to this post. Additionally, please shoot me an email with the following info: your name, hyperlink and zodiac sign. Cheers.

[…] One name, many variations. As it is with many cocktails, the El Presidente has two main families of variations, quite a bit of variation within those families. One family is French-Italian, and basically a Manhattan with rum. The other family is a Sour, and basically a Daquiri plus. But the theme running throughout is orange. […]
