Have you heard of the show "Bar Rescue"? It's on Spike, and it's one of those shows that tends to marathon at random times and makes a decent background noise--even though I'm relatively sure the host is part of the mob and has a voice that really grates the nerves after a while.
"I amuse you? I make you laugh? Funny how?"
You can probably figure out the premise--there's a bar, they're in debt and losing business, due to bad management/poor employees/bad service, whathaveyou. Mob Boss swoops in, yells at them for a while, gives the owner/manager a pep talk, while his assistants revamp the menu, teach them some new signature drinks--and oh yeah, usually completely change the decor and the name of the bar. Lingerie bar in Detroit? Boom--now it's car themed. Irish bar in the Midwest? BAM--now you're an ol' western saloon. Tavern in Tampa? Guess what? Now you're a tiki bar.
Sure, it's schticky, but if nothing else, we at least learn a few new cocktail recipes. This is from the one that ended up as a tiki bar, but we've put a Cajun spin on it, using some Bayou Rum from Lacassine, LA.
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz Bayou Spiced Rum
1/2 oz Agave syrup
1 oz lime juice
4-6 oz ginger ale
DIRECTIONS:
Fill a pint glass with ice and add the rum, syrup, and lime juice, then cover and shake. Pour into a glass with ice and top with the ginger ale. Enjoy!
