Mix a jug of this classic cocktail for a summer party. It’s made with equal parts of vodka, gin, tequila, rum and triple sec, plus lime, cola and plenty of ice.
What you’ll need.
50ml vanilla vodka
50ml London dry gin
50ml reposado tequila
50ml rum
50ml triple sec
50-100ml fresh lime juice
ice
500ml cola
2 limes, cut into wedges
How to make it.
STEP 1
Pour the vodka, gin, tequila, rum and triple sec into a large (1.5l) jug, and add lime juice to taste. Half fill the jug with ice, then stir until the outside feels cold.
STEP 2
Add the cola then stir to combine. Drop in the lime wedges.
STEP 3
Fill 4 tall glasses with more ice cubes and pour in the iced tea.
Wash the herbs and set aside. Cut up the chicken and wash with lime. Season with the herbs and green seasoning, oregano, paprika, parsley, green seasoning, big leaf thyme, Spanish thyme, fine leaf thyme, pimento, garlic, chive, onion, salt, celery and culantro (chadon beni). Marinate for at least 1 hour. Overnight is best!
Over a medium flame, caramelize the sugar. Add the chicken. Warning: Be careful when you do this part because caramelized sugar gives a nasty burn. Don’t drop the chicken into the pot – lay it gently. Probably this is another reason why I stopped caramelizing the sugar directly in the oil, since you are more susceptible to getting burned. Allow to coat evenly with the sugar and let it cook in its own juices for about 3 minutes.
Add about ½ cup water and the 2 tablespoon of oil. Simmer for about 4 minutes. Add the pigeon peas, pumpkin,and ½ cup of water. Allow to simmer for about 4 minutes. Add 1 cup of coconut milk and the rice. Stir the pot to mix the ingredients.
Add the golden ray margarine and tomato paste. Allow to simmer until the rice is cooked. Occasionally stir the pot. When the rice is cooked lower the flame very low and allow the excess water to evaporate. It is normal for some of the rice to stick at the bottom of the pot, so don’t be alarmed. The rice that sticks to the bottom is called “bun bun” . In fact most Trinis, even me, like to eat the “bun bun”. It is perhaps the best part of the pelau!
Add the ingredients in the chronological ‘level’ order (cherry > strawberry > peach > apple > pineapple), stir, and serve in a highball glass on the rocks. The glass is then garnished with a banana slice that has been cut to resemble Pac-Man’s open-mouthed head!
