ROCK STAR
2 ounces Maker’s Mark or other Kentucky Bourbon
2 ounces energy drink, citrus-flavored if possible
Splash of coca-cola
When you are having a diva moment and want to feel like a
hyped-up rock star, try the ROCK STAR cocktail. It’s another twist on the
popular red bull cocktails out there these days, and it’s a good one. I got the
recipe from In the Land of Cocktails,
a wonderful book full of unique New Orleans cocktails.
To make the ROCK STAR, I just put some Kentucky Bourbon — I
used Jim Bean, but the recipe called for Maker’s Mark — into a cocktail glass,
added ice, stirred, then topped it off with coca cola. To help mask the
bourbon, I must admit I used more than just a splash of coke. The piste de resistance
was a maraschino cherry for garnish.
The cherry was important and so was the donning of
sunglasses during the drinking of a ROCK STAR, just so the full effect could be
felt. Plan on having enough get-up-and-go to tear up the dance floor after
drinking this cocktail. The energy drink will wake you up, especially when
coupled with caffeine-filled coke, and the brown liquor will get you buzzed. I
didn’t think this trio of ingredients would be up to my diva standards. But it had
a good down-home type flavor that will keep me coming back. Cause I’m a rock
star and I got my rock moves.
Drink Up^
