Olmec Colossal Grog | Cocktail Party

Olmec Colossal Grog

Olmec Colossal Grog (what a name!) is a deliciously fruity, spiced tiki cocktail from Cocktail Virgin blogger Frederic Yarm (also the author of the fabulous Drink & Tell series of books about Boston cocktail culture).

Named for the fabulously huge heads carved by the ancient Olmec people of Mesoamerica, the drink itself lives up to the enormity of its namesake, with huge punchy flavors of guava, citrus, spice, and the vegetal notes of blanco tequila. It’s fine in a glass – and quite pretty, if you have pink guava juice and pink grapefruits – but it’s even better in a tiki mug carved to look like a stone head.

Ingredients

Instructions

Shake with crushed ice and pour unstrained into a tall glass or tiki mug. Top with more crushed ice as needed and garnish with a big sprig of mint, slapped between your palms to release more scent compounds.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
