First up…

Sailor Sundae Cupcakes – This one is the mother of all rum spiked goodness! Chocolate rum cake with a chocolate rum ganache filling, topped with rum buttercream frosting, and drizzled with a chocolate rum sauce and caramel rum sauce. My only regret was not soaking those cherries in rum too!

Sailor Berry Pie – The first pie I’ve ever made from scratch and I don’t think I’ll ever make a pie without rum again!

And because I’m so excited for Halloween this year….

Tattooed-Martha-REDRUM-Cake-with-Boozy-Cream-Cheese-Frosting-21

REDRUM Cake with Boozy Cream Cheese Frosting – This was as much fun to create as it was to devour it! Red velvet rum cake with rum spiked cream cheese frosting, then topped with a strawberry sauce for a deliciously gory effect!

And just a friendly reminder.. alcohol never completely cooks out of food contrary to the old wive’s tale that it does. I’m sure your kiddo would be okay to enjoy one cupcake or doughnut, but use your best judgement and as always.. enjoy responsibly! 😉

Frozen Pineapple Mai Tai

Tattooed Martha - Frozen Pineapple Mai Tai (7)

About a month ago I had an entire pineapple that I had no clue what to do with. I sliced it up into chunks, froze them, and there in the freezer they stayed until just a few days ago. Since Portland has had a sweltering summer so far, I’ve been craving icy cold slushy drinks and couldn’t think of a better way to use up that frozen pineapple than with a delicious twist on the classic Mai Tai! I kind of just threw everything into the processor and hoped for the best, but was blown away by the perfect consistency and flavor of the drink! Smooth and fruity, yet balanced by the spices and notes from the rum. Whip one up for yourself the next time you need to beat the heat!

Tropical Heat Mojito

Tattooed Martha - Tropical Heat Mojito (7)

If you’re a fan of the sweet and spicy cocktail combo like me, then this drink is MADE for you! The slight heat from muddled jalapeños and the sweetness of fresh mango puree, come together perfectly with the bold kick of Sailor Jerry Rum. Mix one up for yourself this weekend and enjoy a mini-tropical vacation in a glass!

Queens Park Swizzle

Tattooed Martha - Queens Park Swizzle (5)

Portland is holding true to its rainy reputation this week and as much as I love a little gloom and doom, I’m really longing for some warm sunny days and strong tiki drinks! Since the forecast shows no sign of these spring showers stopping, I decided to kick off the weekend with a Sailor Jerry original recipe for a Queens Park Swizzle! The perfect blend of strong, sweet, and sour that instantly makes you think of summer!

Strawberry Blood Orange Rum Fizz

Tattooed Martha - Strawberry Blood Orange Rum Fizz (9)

Alright.. it’s time for a little honesty. Most of my recipes and cocktails are made ahead of time so I can have them scheduled for the appropriate day. Yesterday was not one of those times. I woke up thinking I could whip this together and have it up before noon… until I realized we were completely out of ice. While impatiently willing water to freeze faster, I started on another recipe. I didn’t know it right away, but I was working with a faulty waffle iron, that resulted in a batch of soggy and yet somehow also burned waffles, and a destroyed kitchen. Things only continued to go down from there, so I decided to make myself a stiff drink, watch this adorable pig video (Chris P. Bacon! How cute is that?!), and try it again the next day with a fresh outlook. My day so far has been a hell of a lot smoother than yesterday and this cocktail was well worth the wait! Refreshing, tart, sweet, and STRONG! If you had a disaster of a day (or week), kick back and treat yourself to this delightful drink!

Red Hot Pin-Up

Tattooed Martha - Red Hot Pin-Up (9)

Valentine’s Day is next week and instead of going with the norm of making ‘Love-tinis’ or any other cheesy cocktail, I decided to spice things up! Red Hots are one of my favorite candies and there’s always a surplus of them this time of year. I infused Sailor Jerry Rum with the Red Hot candies to make a lusty libation that’s delicious enough to enjoy any time of year!

Cinnamon Infused Rum

Tattooed Martha - Cinnamon Infused Rum (3)

Happy November 1st! We’re heading into the season of warm boozy drinks and I couldn’t think of anything more delicious than cinnamon infused Sailor Jerry. It really brings out the natural vanilla and cinnamon flavors in the rum and makes the perfect addition to hot chocolate, hot apple cider, or boozy coffee drinks!

Sailor Sunset

Tattooed Martha - Sailor Sunset (3)

After a particularly long and stressful day I decided it was time for a drink! I threw together this cocktail and sat down to watch the sunset when I couldn’t help notice that my drink was the same color as the sky! And the Sailor Sunset was born! It’s refreshing, sweet, strong, and exactly what you need to wind down after a tough day!
