Had some people over last saturday night before going out to a nightclub. I am not traditionally a big nightclub person, so I decided I wanted to "hype myself up" a little bit. So my goal for the night was to design a cocktail that had red bull as the main ingredient but didn't taste like shit. The result was pretty successful, naming the drink a "Fruitfly" because that's what we had in our apartment the next day because we drank them and went to the club without cleaning.
The Fruitfly
In a tall 20oz glass, fill 3/4 with ice. Add a shot and a half of good rum (we used Pusser's 12yr old) and a shot of cointreau. Add to the glass 6-9 slices of nectarine, peach, or something similar. Fill the rest of the glass with Red Bull.
Variant: If you are using peaches, before you pour the red bull, toss some sage and thyme on top of the peaches. It works.
Note: Cocktails this weekend will mostly be red bull and vodka, probably sangria, lots of tequila shots, hopefully out of belly buttons. Because we're going to Ibiza.
