"i Am Tired of Living" (Cocktail)

Recipe #136231 | 50 min | 20 min prep | add private note

A tea-based cocktail for when you're REALLY tired after a long day. I snatched the name from an unspecified (but apparently very potent)alcoholic drink which was mentioned in Ezekiel Mphahlele's "Down Second Avenue," a book about life in apartheid South Africa.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Frost two 8-ounce crystal glasses in your freezer for at least 30 minutes or so.
  2. 2
    Brew the tea and chill it in the freezer. Stir in the powdered sugar after it cools.
  3. 3
    In a separate carafe, blend the rum, tequila, Grand Marnier and the grenadine. Pour this mix into the two glasses, an equal amount in each.
  4. 4
    Fill each glass the rest of the way with the chilled tea.
  5. 5
    Garnish with a couple of the cherries on a toothpick in each glass.

I used the cracked ice to shake the rum, tequila and Grand Marnier to chill. Wasn't sure what it was for while making. Next time I would serve the drink over the ice. I found this to be a little flat! I would add some sparkling water or soda to it to give it some life. It seemed to have almost an anise taste. Maybe it was the tea? Which I did steep in a cup of hot water. I did use my Drunken Cherries Drunken Cherries Aka Cherry Bomb for garnish. Don`t get me wrong this wasn`t bad just needed a little something (soda).
