Olympic Cocktails

From the Miami Herald....

You don't have to be knee-deep in Italian snowbanks to get into the Winter Olympics spirit. A sprinkling of sports bars around the nation -- including The Park at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino -- are serving up a few rounds of medal-inspired cocktails to hoist through the end of the games, Feb. 27.

Order them at The Park, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood (954-556-7450) or make your own. All together now: USA! USA! USA!

THE GOLD ($14)
''This is the crme de la crme of martinis,'' says Wally Vincenty, manager of The Park. ``The new Elite vodka is premium and super pricey [about $60 a bottle] -- it'll definitely get you in a winning frame of mind.''
• 2 ounces Stolichnaya Elite vodka
• 1 ounce coconut rum
• 1 teaspoon shredded coconut
• Edible gold powder

How: Coat bottom of martini glass with gold powder (found at bakeries or cake decorating outlets). Combine remaining ingredients into a shaker with ice and strain into gold-coated martini glass. The powder should float to the top. Sprinkle extra powder to deepen color. Garnish with coconut flakes. Makes one drink.

THE SILVER ($12)
''Athletes would like this because it's more of a health drink,'' says Vincenty, speaking of the, eh, star ingredient, the juicy, fragrant, pulpy star fruit. ``A good jumping-off point for the night ahead.''
• 2 ounces coconut rum
• 2 ounces carambola (star fruit) purée
• Splash of fresh lime juice
• Edible silver powder

How: Coat bottom of martini glass with powder. Combine remaining ingredients into a shaker with ice and strain into silver-coated martini glass. The silver powder should float to the top. Sprinkle extra powder to deepen color. Garnish with lime wedge. Makes one drink.

THE BRONZE ($10)
''Here's a real tasty, yet comforting drink,'' says Vincenty. ``Perfect for licking your wounds and taking your third-place punches.''
• 1 ½ ounces Kahlua
• 2 ounces rum
• ½ ounce Grand Marnier
• Edible bronze powder

How: Coat bottom of martini glass with powder. Combine remaining ingredients into a shaker with ice and strain into bronze-coated martini glass. Sprinkle extra powder to deepen color. The powder should float to the top. Garnish with coffee beans. Makes one drink.

Yup. No gin, and coconut rum?!

A winner's drink coconut rum does not make.

no one should drink coconut rum unless it's the last remaining bottle at the bar, or if it's free

Even then i'd have second thoughts, and feel dirty.

Vermouth or coconut rum, which would you drink first when in a desperate situation?

He's lucky the IOC doesn't hear about this, they are willing to sue anyone for using any form of the word "Olympic" or anything related to them who hasn't paid them a lot of cash. BTW, maybe they should sue him for being a dumbass.

those all sound sort of crappy. esp that one with the coconut rum. that shit is fucking vile. I had a friend who would put that and some pineapple juice in a martini glass and think she was so fucking awesome.

god i hate her.
