Jade Cocktail

Today I chose a 'Jade Cocktail' for our drink. It was a little sweet but would probably be very good with a slight modification.

The recipe (page no. 104 from the Bartender's Guide).


1 1/2 oz Dark Rum (Myers Original Dark)
1/2 teaspoon  Green Créme de Menthe(LeRoux)
1/2 teaspoon Triple Sec (DeKuyper)
1 tablespoon Lime Juice (used 1/2 amount)
1 teaspoon powdered sugar (used 2 tsp simple syrup)

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Add a lime slice.

I didn't have enough lime for all the juice so I substituted lemon juice. I also used simple syrup instead of powdered sugar ... 1 tsp too much, I believe. The drink has definite possibilities! I'll try it again.


Cheers!
