Spicy Rum Punch (Grand Lux Cafe Copycat/Clone)

"Thanks to pinky kookie in Recipe Request for her supply of the recipe that I used to create the creation that is the closest approximation to the Spicy Rum Punch that Grand Lux Cafe (sister of the Cheesecake Factory) used to serve. She called it Spicy Rum Punch. I've added a few things and taken away a few, and I am posting it here so that I don't lose the recipe. This drink is VERY potent."

directions

  • 1. Make spicy rum punch in advance using the following ADDITIONAL ingredient amounts: 1/4 cup pomegranate cranberry juice cocktail, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 T cayenne pepper. Blend cayenne pepper and sugar in a small bowl. Add spicy sugar to juices in saucepan. Heat to dissolve/melt sugar. Store in a squirt bottle (like a restaurant ketchup one) in the refrigerator.
  • 2. Blend 3 T granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Using a 16-ounce capacity glass (I used a wide mouth stemmed ice tea glass), dip the rim of the glass in 1/4 cup of pineapple juice poured into a bowl wide enough to accommodate the upended glass. Pour spiced sugar onto a dessert plate. Spin the upended glass in the spiced sugar, being sure to completely coat both sides of the rim of the glass a half a centimeter inches.
  • 3. Fill glass with ice (halfway). Add syrup, juices, liqueur, and rum. Stir. Either float the fruit garnish in the drink or skewer the pieces together with a cocktail pick.
  • 4. Enjoy. You've earned it! Make sure to lick a bit of the spiced-sugar rim with each sip. (Translation: This is not a beverage to enjoy with a straw.).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I teach middle school ELA in a public school here. I like to cook sauces mostly. I have just begun to cook OAMC and make-ahead since acquiring a chest deep freeze. I love looking at all of the posted recipes on here! My day begins with checking out the previous day's new recipes add-ons, the chef of the day, and the most recent forum postings for OAMC. My pet peeves are Curry Chicken from a local restaurant (which seems to go with the more curry powder is more theory) and people who don't like flavorful foods. Update (5 months late, but sue me):&nbsp; I am the proud mama of a beautiful red-haired boy as of April 26, 2010.&nbsp; Already, his favorite foods are:&nbsp; bananas, carrots, pumpkin, applesauce, and roasted pears.&nbsp; He doesn't like potatoes; I know, go figure.</p> <p><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /></p>
