June 30-Key West Hurricane

We come to the end of another month this summer. And with thwat comes a happy day for me and my family as we get to celebrate a close friend of ours. This man has been there for me since kindergarten and I couldnm’t think of anyone better to have a whole day this summer to celebrate. For privacy reasons we will call him E. E is the father of someone who I didn’t always realise, but was always there for me growing up, and E has been just as volatile in making me the man I am today. The amount of life lessons this man taught me would make him a prophet in the past and hopefully future once this world gets it together. This man was muchg more of a mentor than I deserve and he is a high ranking business man at a local rum company about an hour from where I live. Therefore to celebrate him I am using a cocktail from that company’s website today.

The Key West Hurricane is a cocktail found on the Papa’s Pilar website that doesn’t give much in terms of its creation or creator. TYhis drink is super tiki in essence with a lot of ingredients and a sweet palate needed to enjoy it. I actually used passion fruit puree instead of juice for the main reason of, it’s what I had in my hands but it is still a fantastic product to work with. This did give the cocktail more body as well, buit I learnt to use halof the amount they recommend since this stuff is stronger than the juice. THis will also make it fit more easily in your shaker and final glass.
