Lucky-tini O' the Irish

 
Lucky-tini Jelly Shot, with edible gold leaf garnish

Presenting the Lucki-tini Jelly Shot, just in time for St. Patrick's Day.  The liquid cocktail inspiration, (a Pear Melon Martini) is featured on the Royal Caribbean cruise line's cocktail menu.   (One of us recently sampled this yummy cocktail on the Oasis of the Seas during an enviable week of sun and snorkel!)

As a special holiday and springtime treat, we wanted to share the recipe with you , dear JSTK readers  . . .  We hope the Lucki-tini Jelly Shot adds a dash of Gaelic cheer to your celebrations! (Recipe follows . . .)

The Great Debate

 
Attention Freedom Fighters:
The Cuba Libre Jelly Shot


Cuba Libre?   One of us here at the Test Kitchen, and I will not say who, had never heard of this rather exotic sounding cocktail, and seached for the recipe only to find that . . . well, it was determined that a Cuba Libre is a rum and Coke with lime.

So which is it for you, dear readers, Cuba Libre or Rum and Coke? 

Whichever side you fall on in the great debate, clearly rum, Coke and the optional lime makes an exceptionally refreshing jelly shot.    The perfect accompaniment the next time you are hatching revoluntionary plans.

Cheers,

JSTK
