The Return of Bar Brady Drink Recipes - Kill Devil Punch

Guess what?

We are reviving our Bar Brady Friday Drink Recipes posts

the story goes that a while back some unknown guy

suggested we do a drink recipe on MCB

and then supplied us with the drink recipe

which we posted every friday for a few months

as most good things go he stopped sending them in

but we decided to revive it without him and forge on

retaining the name of the column in his honor

MCB was invited to sample drinks over at Iridescence

The fine dining restaurant sits on top of the Motorcity Casino

and is connected to Amnesia Night Club

A few of us from MCB met up Georges Mokbel who not only

the manager but the creator of all of these amazing drink recipes

Today we will be focusing on

KILL DEVIL PUNCH

This drink should be finished quickly

and then ordered again in succession until you forget

where your keys are located and take a cab home.

Prep: Soak some MI cherries in the dark rum overnight

1-Toss a handful of fresh ice into a short tumbler

2-Pour a jigger of dark rum into your shaker

3-add a healthy dose of apricot cordial

(Cointreau or Triple-Sec will do)

4-Cover and shake to the most recent JCM Remix

5-Pour into tumbler and drip the rum doused cherries on top

for spiked flavor and added color

(MCB drink tip is to always spill a little of this drink

during the pour - imperfection at its best)

As we were finishing up we noticed

The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre had rolled into the bar

so we asked them to sample a few as well

here is what they had to say:

-jr- Kill Devil Punch:

"It kissed me on the lips like a demon from hell,

but then it was like sweet, sweet heaven."

Bryan Metro

French Riviera Bellini:
"Normally, the thought of a Bellini stresses me out, but I was pleasantly surprised by the French Riviera. A smooth, yet charming, tart peach flourish with a mischievious hint of wine."

Dani - Real Detroit

Pomegranate Cosmopolitan:

"Very fucking awesome. Can't taste the alcohol at all."

After a few more drinks and some appetizers -jr was on the piano and his classical renditions had the incoming Amnesia crowd tuning in as they swept past the restaurant bar to get to the club
