Hola!~Welcome to the Spanish edition of Supermarket Cocktails. Having taken a well earned break in the Spanish Campo it seemed only right to check out the Supermarkets and shake something up!!!
So we headed over to Mercadona an excellent supermarket with plentiful Cocktail stocks. We picked up some own brand Ron Miel or Honey Rum, a liquer traditionally produced on the Canary Islands. If you get a chance to sample this please do it's delicious especially Ron Miel Indias or Guajiro Ron Miel. Our honey rum wasn't quite that standard but rather Mercadona's 5 Euro special!
As well as this we picked up some still strawberry juice and cloudy lemonade (from Lidl) And to complete our ingredients list we picked a fresh lemon from the local area and there we have our elements to make magic with!!
The whole week we were in Spain was iceless! and by this I mean there wasn't an ice cube in sight so we had to improvise with some lolly ice moulds. We poured some of the Juice and lemonade into them and used this as ice.
Reviews of the cocktail were mixed. My madre claimed it reminded her of Sangria. The wife found it refreshing like a refresher. I personally found it sweet and sticky like a good holiday romance. All in all it's very drinkable and dare we say a little dangerous!
Salut!!
