Fruitcakes

This past weekend, Dale and Carol over to the Tiki Hut for dinner and cards. The girls wanted me to surprise them with a drink so I made Fruitcakes. You may recall that we invented the Fruitcake late one evening after we'd already had a drink or two so I forgot to take a picture for the blog. This time I didn't forget.

Fruitcake

Color: Ruby red

Ingredients: 5 oz. cranberry juice, 2 oz. pineapple rum, 1 oz. Cointreau

Taste: Carol said, "It tastes like an orange cranberry muffin in liquid form."

Comments: The Fruitcake was even better than I remembered. It isn't nearly as fruity as you would expect based on the ingredients.

Dale and I also had a few beers.

Pacifico

Color: Gold

Skunkiness: 0 skunks

Taste: Smooth and refreshing. Well balanced. More character than most cervezas.

Comments: While Pacifico isn't the best beer we've ever had, it is a great summertime beer. We could drink many of these while sitting on a beach (or anywhere else, really.)

Carol Rating: 1 on a scale of 1 or 5. The girls are not fans of hoppy beers.

Rating: 3.5 pints

Westmalle Dubbel

Color: Dark amber

Skunkiness: 0 skunks

Taste: Really hoppy for a dark beer. Very fizzy and slight fruity taste.

Comments: We were really surprised that this double bock was hoppy. Every other double bock we've tried has been malty.

Carol Rating: 1. Again, the girls don't like hoppy beers.

Rating: 3.5 pints.

I’ve had another busy week so I’m making this post short and sweet. Just like the Tiki Gal.
