MORNING JOY
1 ½ measures light
rum
6 measures
grapefruit juice
¼ measure sloe gin
After a
fun, but tiring weekend in Chicago, my Monday morning was not a joy. I turned
that around with a MORNING JOY cocktail. Though I drank it in the evening, I
think it would make a great brunch cocktail. To make the MORNING JOY, you’ll
only need the three simple ingredients listed above. Put them into a cocktail
shaker, add ice, shake and strain into your glass of choice that has been
half-filled with ice. I invented the grape garnish myself, but an orange or
pineapple garnish would be great as well.
You can
get creative with the cleaver-tasting MORNING JOY cocktail. I loved the light
taste and the light rum. It’s a cocktail that will not weigh you down while it
lifts your spirits. The sloe gin is the key ingredient. Sloe gin is not gin. It
is a red-colored liqueur made from sloe berries, which are similar in size and
taste to a plum. The liqueur gives the MORNING JOY a dry, slightly-sweet taste,
that, when combined with the grapefruit juice, makes a cocktail that is worth the
effort, no matter what time of day you drink it.
